I’m not the biggest fan of Seafood and expected Dominican food to be very seafood oriented… I was pleasantly surprised to find it is more based on tropical fruits such as plantains.
This is my lunch during one of the workshop days. We brought our lunch back to the classroom to save time! Rice, Chicken, and Pastelón de platano maduro (ripe plantain casserole).
This is an appetizer, Dominica Quipe (arabian kibbeh, wheat and lamb, fried)
This is Mofongo: fried plantain with garlic and Chicharrón (fried pork rinds). I also had Mofongo de Yuca (cassava root)
Yummy!
Thanks to Alicia and Su-jung for being such great hosts as I stumble around with wide eyes!

I’ve been pretty busy preparing for my Lightroom Workshops and haven’t had time to post much lately.
I made a short trip to Arkansas back in Feb. and found a little skate park and decided to do some night photography of the skater kids doing jumps and tricks. It was fun and the kids were working hard to show off for the camera.
I shot these with 2 Canon Speedlights, a Canon wireless commander, and the assistance of my little brother Matt.
The full skater gallery can be seen by clicking here!
I just finished teaching a 3 day Adobe Lightroom workshop in the Dominican Republic. Now I’m in Puerto Rico to teach another 3 day workshop this weekend! It’s not too late to enroll!
Anyway, my time in the Dominican was short and I wasn’t able to shoot much, but I snapped a few images from the passenger seat during one of my cab rides in the wild Dominican traffic. As is the case in many countries, stop signs are mostly just for decoration!
Here, the delivery guy is driving against the traffic flow.
NeoGen International hired me to create a compelling web presence offering information about who they are and what they do. So here’s what we came up with!

I haven’t yet bought an HD-DSLR so I haven’t been able to produce much video lately. However, I recently joined up with Sunny Tsui to shoot this fun little video as a production test of the Canon 5dmk2. I wanted a quick and easy project to figure out the workflow, so one night I was getting a cup of coffee with Sunny and just as an example of something we could shoot easily, I came up with this idea. I decided to just do it and a week later we were shooting.

Lyla Morrison asked me to shoot a photo for a poster project designed with the goal of creating an impact and sparking discussion. I think we succeeded, what do you think?
This photo was done completely in camera with the only photoshop work being basic sharpening, color balance, and the text at the very bottom which states, “belief in God is no excuse for hatred”.

So here’s a cool one from a wedding I shot recently! I love shooting live music!

Mitch is a musician from Atlanta, but lives in Boston. He needed some new promo photos, so he got in touch with me and we went out and had a fun photoshoot and got a lot of great pictures. I had a tough time narrowing it down, but here are my two favorite shots from the day!
So I know I’ve mentioned them before on this blog, but two of my friends from Maine made an 11,000 mile journey around the US to document what people are doing on a local level to help the environment.
Well, they’ve just launched a new version of the website complete with photos and audio and an interactive map of the route, so I’m highly suggesting that you check out the great work at www.projecttandem.org

I was asked by my friend, Diana, to help with the photography and photoshop composite work on a mock-up CD cover for a band called Arcade Fire. She created a logo and wanted the logo to be in the blown out smoke from a candle on top of a cupcake.
So, grab a cupcake (with sprinkles), a candle, a few studio strobes, and we are all set!
