Orange and Yellow (1992)

This was something I wrote to a friend while I was living in Hoboken in 1992.

Orange and Yellow (1992)

I'm looking at a print hung in my living room
Mark Rothko, Orange and Yellow (1956)
and you, living just down the road from Orange Lake
I picture you swimming at sunset
drenched in warm sunlight
the lake ablaze, Orange and Yellow.

First New York Times Assignment 1999

These photos were from my first assignment freelancing for The New York Times in May of 1999. Shot for the Sports section the story was on New York Giant running back Gary Brown's large collection of NBA apparel. The top photo is an out take from the session with some of Gary's pals who stopped by to watch. The second photo or one very similar to it accompanied the story. This September started with an email, "Guidelines on Our Integrity", sent to all freelance photographers reminding them of guidelines for handling digital photos. With its Photoshopped sky the first photo would be labeled as a photo illustration.
