Just before 3OH!3 performed Don't Trust Me last night at Irving Plaza, the show stopped. The band had no idea what had gone wrong until they were presented with the plaques for Don't Trust Me. The digital single has gone Platinum! Congrats guys!

I had the pleasure of photographing Mr. Randall Jones for his new book, The Richest Man In Town.

With the Macy's Flower Show wrapped up, I will post some of my favorite images asap.

Nikon D3, ISO 200, 6.3 @ 1/250
I used 5 Nikon Speedlights for this shoot. One SB-900 on camera as a Master to trigger the other flashes. One SB-800 camera right with a full CTO. One SB-900 camera left in a xxs Chimera softbox. One SB-800 behind the bike, center of camera with a red gel. Then just one more SB-800 with a full CTO far back left of camera. The crow just flew in...

I was contracted to record a time lapse of the set-up of the Macy's Flower Show. The set up takes place overnight from 10PM to 4AM over three nights. I used a Nikon D3 and set it to photograph one frame every 20 seconds. The exposure was F4.5 at 1/30 ISO 250. Then I placed them in a Quicktime movie. You will see the 3 different views I had. Look for the lights coming on and the change in color from off to full power. Hope you like the backstage view many people never get to see.

After searching a few book stores here in Manhattan and having no luck, Amy just ordered Joe's new book, "The Hot Shoe Diaries," for me online and picked it up at the store when a new shipment came in. (She's the best.) Joe is a lighting god and a master of the small but powerful Speedlight. The concepts Joe transforms from napkin to finished works right before your eyes make you blink twice. You learn his approach to light along with tips, tricks, exposure modes, types of flash, types of light shaping tools, strategies, EV, mixing light, and as Joe says, "you name it." You get to go inside the mind of Mr. McNally (how scary) and see how he sees. A great investment for any photographer on the planet.
