A little quality family time in Florida.
The Epic Mini Golf Battle of Christmas 2010 between Nick and Mike Krautter. With voice overs of course.
And Christmas day with the Moss Family.
I would have gone anywhere for this wedding, but it was so great to get back to California for a quick trip to Sonoma and Gaurav and Miriam’s wedding. It had been way to long since I’d seen Gaurav and all the guys from Cal-Poly and in a way it felt like going home.
The wedding itself was beautiful, albeit a little hot, but it cooled down for the reception and the dancing and festivities were great.
Here’s a few photos from the day. It was so great seeing all you guys again. I can’t wait to hang out with you in New York and I promise, it won’t take me so long to get back out to Cali next time.
It was suppose to be a skydiving adventure. A quick trip out to Long Island, up in a small plane and an even quicker trip back down to the ground. But of course the New York weather isn’t always predictable and the clouds were a good seven thousand feet too low for us to jump. So to keep from entirely wasting the drive out there and bide our time in the chance the weather cleared we drove down the road to the Wildwood bowling ally. The clouds didn’t end up lifting, but our bowling was a success.
With Fashion Week coming up in New York, I thought I’d post some shots from last year to get into the spirit. Here we go again!

Walking through Union Square in New York is always an adventure. The constant buzz of the Farmer’s Markets or frequent protests calms occasionally and you happen upon a piece of art in the making. The other day it was street painting and it was pretty impressive. I don’t know how long he had been working on it nor how much longer stayed, but for the few minutes I watched it was art and beauty taking form.
After watching some of Tom Lowe’s time lapse work, I was inspired the other night to set up my 5D mark ii and start snapping away. I don’t have an intervalometer, so I used Canon’s software and shot tethered. Roughly 1700 images later here’s a rough-cut of the Brooklyn night.
And a different view from the night before.
The rising sun fills the room like it hasn’t done all winter and the birds remind me of summer vacation when I was young.
Growing up on the west coast it was a short flight to Hawaii and if we were lucky, we found ourselves packing our bathing suits and boogie-boards as the last days of school approached.
The nostalgia of those trips is still strong. It’s the perfect breeze and the brilliant moon-lit clouds. BBQ by pool, snorkeling in the sea. The trail giving way to a hidden beach and the ocean stretching farther than I could imagine.
I made it back last year after eight years and it was an odd overlap of re-living old memories and making them anew. But it’s still that island in the sea, further away now, but so close on mornings like these.
It’s been snowing for almost two days so before it stops, turns to slush and black, I decided to take a stroll around McCarren park and see the neighborhood come out to play.
Metropolitan Fish Market stands on the corner of Leonard Street and Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg. The daylight from the street-side windows falls across a simple store that serves its purpose. If you don’t know fish this is the place to get questions answered. It has a good selection of fresh fish and supplies many of the local restaurants including La Piazzetta on Graham Ave.
Though an ever changing atmosphere, one of the pleasures of living in Brooklyn is the history. Of the small shops and hidden histories, this Deli is one I walk by nearly everyday.
