I was going to post something else today, but I have a job tonight and so I will post that on Monday. Today I will post one of my photos from my last visit to my jewelry client http://www.tre-femmes.com She is my most regular client and I love coming up with new ways to take photos of her gorgeous jewelry. This photos isn’t a good representation of some of her more extravagant work so much as a nice photo that I had taken.
I have shot quite a bit for her over the past year and most of the photos on her site now are all photos that I have taken. Feel free to visit her site and have a look around.

If you haven’t noticed it at this point, I love shooting pictures of birds. To me, they are incredibly dynamic. In fact, the photo that made me want to be a photographer was a photo I took of a seagull. I love wings a lot. The way they move is so breathtakingly artistic.
This little guy was singing his heart out in Central Park. I was lucky enough to catch his delightful tune. Igot a photo of him taking off as well, but it’s slightly blurry and I do not post blurry photos, no matter how much I might like them This is my first vertical photo post!

The picture today gives me the willies! I had a lot of trouble editing it because of how creeped out I am of spiders. This guy was about an inch and a half long. The web was HUUUUUUUUGE. He has a buddy next to him too that was a bit smaller. I was so worried that one of them was going to jump at me and bite me ;~;
Sometimes we have to leave our comfort levels as photographers and take photos of things that make us uncomfortable or nervous.

The whole time I was editing this one, I had that one Cowboy Bebop song stuck in my head that plays when Spike falls out of the window. Dont’ ask me why. I have no answer.
I like this shot a lot, though I wish the bird was in a different spot. When I thought about where I’d prefer the bird… I couldn’t think of anything better. This was taken at St. John’s of the Divine. The World’s largest Cathedral.

As the month goes on, it gets harder and harder to choose photos. I’ve decided to take this opportunity to go through photos I had taken before but not thought to post as I am mostly a portrait photographer.
Today’s photo is of a cute little Chihuahua puppy taking his first steps out in Central Park. He was so scared of the world around him, but he slowly came around.

Yesterday I went to see ZOMBIELAND, which was totally awesome, and after the movie I hung around and took a few photos. Sadly, the Naked Cowboy was off duty that day.
One of the many street vendors was blowing bubbles around and I caught a photo of one of them. Nothing too fancy or special, but a lonely bubble trying to reach so high before popping.

The fourth photo in this series is a photo os the cutest little Finch around. I know that’s a bold claim, but as I was sitting in Central Park he kept flying at my feet and looking up at me. People would pass, he’d get spooked, fly away, then when the coast was clear, he’d fly right back. He was fairly awesome.

Today’s photo was taken during the US Open. One of the former athletes was with his two daughters and son with one of his girls perched on top his head making funny faces at me. She was so adorable, I couldn’t resist.
I know the EXIF is terrible, I went from shooting tennis to her and didn’t want to miss anything, so I didn’t adjust.

The second photo this month is a picture I took at Central park of a duck splashing around. The only thing that I learned from this experience is that ducks are major assholes.

I’m actually a bit behind on my blog as I have not posted anything from the US Open here. I’ll do that at some point in the near future.
So here is the first photo for this month, a city scape of Brooklyn from the tip of Manhattan.
