I've been shooting portraits of interior designers working on a mansion in Bridgeport for a television show. The goal is to get each designer in their respective rooms. I've previously photographed Tony, but shot another photograph of him in the mansion library holding a stuff owl...maybe a hint of Edgar Allan? The other photograph is of designer Jeffrey Gall.

I've been inundated with freelance work, two weddings, and a week-long tennis tournament....hence the lack of updates lately. Below are few images from a wedding I shot in New London. Who says a pair of outhouses can't be included in a wedding portrait?

I photographed the Gathering of the Vibes this weekend at Seaside Park in Bridgeport. I met some very interesting people...it was a surreal experience...apocalyptic at times...

I was a paparazzi for the day. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are filming "Revolutionary Road" in the area. I mostly photographed the extras hanging around for two hours. DiCaprio was on scene for about 15 minutes. It was fun catching the 1950s-esque extras doing very modern things such as adjusting contact lenses and taking photos with a cell phone.

I photographed a horrible fire today. It was a multiple-family house fire in the east end of Bridgeport. To see more photos and read the story, click here.
