Conference at the Palace Hotel in New York City

It's always a pleasure to be the photographer at a conference in The Palace Hotel in New York City on Madison Ave. The Hotel does such a nice job with the setup and audio and lighting. It's really an easy place to photograph.

Images shot with a Canon 5D Mark IV, the new Canon 16-35mm F2.8 iii and Sony A9 with the incredible Sony 70-200mm F2.8 Lens.

New Years Eve in Times Square

I'm still trying to process everything that happened last night. It was really all so amazing a little bit like a dream, being right in the middle of Times Square for the whole evening in way below freezing temperatures with one of my favorite celebrities, Steve Harvey and covering the celebrity wedding of Maria Menounos. Here are a few quick selected photos from the evening.

Minnie Mouse gets a makeover

Back when I photographed a lot more press events, I used to go to the empire state building and cover the lighting ceremony. I never really thought the Minnie Mouse photos were ever going to run and then Minnie gets a makeover! On the left is my photo from Getty Images.
