new beginnings::

After almost exactly two years with this blog, I have decided to make a new go at it, over at tumblr.  I have to admit, it has been a difficult decision to leave this one behind, but I feel very confident that it is time for a fresh start and a new approach. Thank you to everyone who has stopped by here to check things out, I greatly appreciate it. I hope that all of my viewers and readers will continue to follow.

Goodbye Blogger. It has been fun.

With the line up for this years Roots Picnic recently being announced, it has gotten me thinking back on some of the shots that I got throughout the weekend back in 2008, when I headed back east for the first annual picnic (see last post), as well as some other visits. This shot was taken during a stop in NYC for a few days to see some friends and shoot a few portraits on my way home to Boston.

esperanza spalding::

Back in 2008 I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Esperanza Spalding at The Roots Picnic in Philadelphia. Not to mention catching her set and instantly becoming a huge fan. Although I am a little late, I wanted to say congratulations to Esperanza for taking home this years Grammy for Best New Artist.  The award could not have gone to a more amazingly talented musician, or nicer person.

journey::

A few years old now, this Annie Leibovitz & Louis Vuitton collaboration is still one of my favorites.  Among many other things, I love the quiet, peacefulness of each image in the campaign. Truly amazing portraits.
