NY Times Photograph

Of all the press events I have ever covered the one I shot in Tarrytown at the IBM office with Jeopardy and Watson has got by far the most use in the press. Unfortunatel for IBM who hosted the event and probably spent considerable money building the Jeopardy set, the photos of “Watson” didn’t run anywhere nearly as much as the photos of Alex Trebek and the Jeopardy contestants.

Washington DC Conference Photography

in ,

Traveling to Washington DC is so easy with the express Acela train, that covering a conference there is a pleasure. Being a Washington DC based photographer seems a little too political or news based for me, but traveling to cover a conference is always a nice change of pace from working in NY.

All photos take with the Sony A9 and Sony 70-200mm F2.8 Lens at Convene in Arlington, Virginia

All images taken with a Sony A9 and Sony A7iii with 12-24 F4 lens, 24-70 F2.8 lens and 70-200 F2.8 lens.

After photographing over a thousand opening and closing bells at the New York Stock Exchange, its always a pleasure to cover an opening bell ceremony at either market place, NYSE or Nasdaq. They always manage to run a very well oiled machine at Nasdaq in Times Square. The event team and photographer are both calm and efficient and are very welcoming to an additional photographer to photograph the opening bell ceremony
