Live Video of Puppies, Cutest Thing Ever

Conveyor Belt Sushi


Sakae Sushi.
West Village.
135 West 3rd St.
New York, New York.

Sushi is really good, but when it floats by your table on an electric belt it's 10 times better! Plus...this particular sushi place was pretty inexpensive. And it was fun. The belt goes down the middle of the entire restaurant and you just grab whatever you want and you can order anything else throughout the course of your meal on a computer that's at each table. If you go there with a friend or if you bring someone there on a date and things are pretty dull, you can always put their cell phone, or any other personal items that may be on the table, on the conveyor belt and watch it make its way around the room.

New York, New York.

It was not even raining... not sure if he was selling hot dogs or umbrellas. I don't even know what more there is to say.
Williamsburg, Brooklyn,
New York.

Brooklyn is really awesome and if you've never been you should definitely go in the near future. Just walking down the street is like visiting a gallery. There's so much amazing artwork to see, from graffiti to graphic posters, it's a really inspiring place.

Man of Love


Asbury Park, New Jersey.
Outside of Convention Hall.

Just a little section of the statue, which is actually the same color as the Statue of Liberty. My favorite part of this shot is the cob web on his eye.

Son of a Beach

Asbury Park, New Jersey.
4th & Ocean Ave.

This is at a playground on the beach in Asbury. I took this photo with the letter "Q" in mind for my last design project.




















v This particular photo is actually on the boardwalk where there is some sand between the street and the boardwalk itslef.

Orchid

Black & white film photography on fiber paper.
Orchids are my absolute favorite flower. I have one in my bedroom at home, and I even have one in my dorm. I think they have a sense of tranquility which is very relaxing to come home to everyday.

Newark, Delaware.
Main Street.

I found this in an alley on Main Street when I was shooting for my design class. I thought it was interesting in a solitary kind of way. And it reminded me of my bike that got stolen. :(

Solipsism

Long Branch, New Jersey.
Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park.

This skate park is right on the beach and is an awesome spot to get action shots. One of the best parts of the park is the huge concrete fishbowl in the ground. And in case my extremely technical term "fishbowl" is not understandable, it's basically an empty amoeba shaped swimming pool which, if used correctly, can give photos an authentic Dogtown/ Z-Boys tone.

J.J.

Avon By The Sea, New Jersey, my hometown.
Woodland Ave.

Film photography, darkroom processed. Shot at an 800 ISO, which explains the graininess. Although, the noise gives it an aged appeal, making it seem like it's a surf shot from the 70's.

Belmar, New Jersey

Hanging out on the beach one day taking pictures with a friend. It was around 5 pm which is almost perfect lighting for taking pictures facing the ocean.

...she ripped her jeans doing this cartwheel

Tiles For America

Greenwich Village, NYC.
Corner of 7th Ave. & 11 St.

Tiles For America was started on September 12, 2001 to honor the victims of 9/11 and all who were effected. Now, 7 years later, the beautiful collection of ceramic tiles lends not only as a memorial, but also as a unique display of public art.

Prince Charming


This was taken near a creek at the Cape May Zoo. I was standing on a bridge over the creek and used my zoom lens to get up close and personal with this beautiful creature.

Train Spotting

This is a photograph of my friend at the Secaucus train station in New Jersey.  We were waiting for a connecting train to take us to Liberty State Park in Jersey City to attend the All Points West Festival.  The festival was a three day concert series featuring a bunch of different bands/musical artists that came together to celebrate music, art, and the environment.
