Kenny McGeorge - CD cover shoot

Kenny McGeorge ( website to follow soon ) recently signed a contract with a Nashville Record label. We spent most of last Sunday shooting for the cover art. I thought I’d share a few of my favorites from the first pass through.

Thanks for looking, :-)

Below are a few Images from yesterday.

Thanks for looking :-)

David was Kind enough to sign one of my “David Blaine Split Spades” decks.

Which is now being hermetically sealed. LOL :-)

January 16, 2010 - 4:41 pm Matt - Great shots. Blaine is amazing. And now he's doing something amazing for other people. Thats very cool.

January 16, 2010 - 4:47 pm admin - Agreed, on both accounts.

A little house cleaning

I’m doing a little New Year’s organizing and found a couple of pictures that I liked but never made it to the blog.

Thanks for looking.

It’s that time of year.

Ok, I’ve been totally swamped this year and finally got around to shooting the images for our Christmas card (nothing like being “Last Minute Larry”). While I’m rushing to design and have it printed I thought I’d share one of the photos that made the “short List”.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

Thanks for looking :-)

Kamilla

I’ve been a little behind on my blog posts (unless you’ve been following me on facebook ) So I wanted to post a couple of exposures from this past October. When I had the opportunity to attend the 7 workshop hosted by the very talented Mike Colon . This was a fantastic experience.

Thanks for looking. :-)




December 14, 2009 - 10:24 am Sidney - I missed these. These are some fashion magazine shots. I love the composition and lighting used for these. Keep up the good work.

Why I Love Photography

The whole reason I became fascinated with photography as a kid was it gave me the ability to freeze time; to capture that fraction of a second forever. Whether I was using my Polaroid one-step, a 110 or my SLR I felt I was beating time as long as I had these “frozen moments”. This concept has become more prevalent now that my children seem to grow at blinding speeds and my parents age.

If you’ve ever been around me for an extended period of time you know it’s not uncommon for me to start snapping candids of the people I’m with. This past labor day weekend we were celebrating at my Uncle (and Godfather)’s house. When I made the exposure below, no one knew that 24 hours later he would have an accident on his motorcycle. He is okay; I suppose as okay as you can be after dumping a heavy bike on a rural road. My Uncle luckily only suffered 5 broken ribs and a punctured lung. With those injuries, he still managed to pick up his Harley Davidson Ultra Classic (a big bike) and ride it home.

I sent a copy of the picture below with a note that said something along the lines of how I was thrilled that this was not the last photo I ever made of him.

I’m sure glad I stole the moment. :-)

Below: My Uncle Jerry and his brand new Grandson Kevin.

September 13, 2009 - 9:33 am Barbara - What a beautiful picture.

September 13, 2009 - 9:46 am admin - Thanx so much:-)

September 13, 2009 - 9:51 am Al Bender - Larry, Yes, controlling the uncontrollable - time. Thanks for sharing the picture and the story. I'm glad he will be ok.

September 13, 2009 - 9:55 am admin - Hey Sifu, thanks for stopping by and commenting! I've been slacking on my Flickr feed lately, I have to log on and check out some of your latest photos.

September 14, 2009 - 8:56 am Sidney - Hey man this is great it goes to show you how time can be an enemy or a friend so we need to cherish the precious time that we have with family and friends. Thanks you.

January 16, 2010 - 7:51 pm jenine - This is such a great picture. You are amazing!

A Man and His Bass

I feel that a portrait is so much more than what the word conveys. To me, a portrait needs to capture a persons character, their core essence.

It doesn’t even have to contain a person’s face. Sometimes a persons hands can be an accurate and compelling portrait. They can tell the story without ever revealing their owner.

Meet Steve. Steve is a very talented jazz bass player (I know because I got to listen to him play during our session). I hope Steve’s portrait conveys the years he spent honing and mastering his craft as well as his warmth and depth.

You can see Steve play in NYC and the surrounding area. To hear some great music and see where Steve is playing next, check out his web site

It was a WET wedding

Joe and Bekah are the kind of people who even though you just met, it feels like you’ve known them for years. While a lot of brides would have flipped at the weather we had, Bekah refused to let it ruin her day or anyone else’s for that matter. I just wanted to post a few highlights before they left on their Parisian honeymoon tomorrow.

Have a safe trip Mr. and Mrs. Crystal. :-)










August 3, 2009 - 2:41 pm Suzie - Nice job L2! I particularly love the first one. Can't wait to see the rest.

August 5, 2009 - 9:55 am Peggy - Yes, the first one is wonderful... I love the "unscripted" nature of it! Nice job, indeed.

August 5, 2009 - 10:10 am admin - Thank you both for stopping by and commenting. :-) The first one is also my favorite, although we almost lost the tent and my lights when that was taken. What a fun day !

Rain, Rain ….

Ok, I said I wouldn’t work today. However, I couldn’t resist using a little “Father’s Day Guilt” to get my daughters to model for me while I tried out an Idea I’ve been meaning to get to for ages. For my photographer friends, I’ll include the set-up info below. Thanks for looking.

Strobist info: There is a 430exII bungeed’ (how do you make Bungee cord a verb?) into the top of the umbrella. A Full Cut CTO gel over the flash, and a Stofen over the gel. A small piece of tin foil gaffer taped to the underside of the umbrella to control spill. Flash set to ETTL High Speed Sync, triggered by my new Radio popper px triggers. exp: 1/1000 F/5.6 ISO 400. W/B: Set to cloudy to warm the gel a little.
