Inspired by a reunion with a lens I lost track of years ago - The Original Lensbaby 1.0. My photo friends from wayyy back when remember this one: Manual aperture with the little rings you’d insert and secure with a rubber washer. Goodtimes 🙌
I worked with the Lensbaby and other more traditional tilt-shift lenses back in the day - back before Instagram and the advent of one-touch photo filters.
Nowadays you can get this effect through a tilt shift filter that’s bundled with Insta and just about every editing app.
I wanted to go manual + filter-free yesterday and it felt good 👍
So good that I kept walking down memory lane and whipped up a couple of double exposures, another technique from the old school that I haven’t visited in quite some time. ..
Scroll the set to see how I stayed busy and distracted during yesterday’s heatwave. I hope y’all are keeping busy too. Doing good things and being kind to one another ✌️♥️

Like countless other Beatlemaniacs + music fans, I was rendered speechless the first time I witnessed this ukulele virtuoso rip through his take on Harri’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”. I never realized a dude and a uke could be so mesmerizing. I was hooked.
Back in 2008, before joining the Rochester International Jazz Festival photo team, I stood in line for over 3 hours only to be denied entrance into his show. Total bummer.
Flash forward to last summer and our stars would finally align. Jake returned to Rochester and our brother-in-common @kenny_kim saw to it that the opportunity to connect didn’t pass us by.
If it’s possible to meet someone for the 1st time and simultaneously pickup where you left off, that’s what spending time with @jakeshimabukuro is like. We covered so much ground that night - talked and talked right up to curtain call.
Just as he was being announced, I noticed a dim light in the hallway leading to the stage. “You wanna see what I see?”, I asked. 10 steps and 3 clicks - that’s all we had. As it’s often the case - all that you have is all that you need.
Mahalo, Jake - you are a gift to all who experience you. Until we meet again 🤙

Reviewing my posts over the past few weeks, a couple of realizations have surfaced: a.) I’m not posting nearly enough and b.) when I do, the majority of my content illustrates what I’m NOT doing rather than what I am doing or have done.
..
I’m not sure I’m cool with this trend. There’s so much to share - so much to reminisce upon and even more to look forward to. Starting with a look back to some baseline banter between a tennis legend and a photographer in dire need of a haircut 😳

I stood in the presence of this heavenly wonder back in 2013 and made this photograph.
If ANY aspect of 2020 worked out according to plan, I would be - at this very moment - once again cruising along the Amalfi Coastline en route to @linpoe + Andy’s dream wedding in Positano, Italy 🥰
Alas, our World has changed, and so have our plans - leaving us with 12 months to gear up for the kind of celebration that will leave the Amalfi natives talking about those kooky Americans for years to come 🍾
Lindsey + Andy + crew - I love you all and cannot wait to throw down proper when our time comes in 2021 🙌🥳❤️

I haven’t created a single memory with this camera in over a month. Nodda.
Notice the wear beneath the screen? It tells you we’ve spent some time together. This camera has been an extension of my mind, spirit and body for years. But lately, nothing. Zilch.
I spent some time cleaning it up yesterday. We had a little chat. I never name my cameras or assign them human traits. Anthropomorphism. Is that the word? Anyway. It was nice to get reacquainted. But it wasn’t like old times, ya know? I guess that we’re just better when other people are around to focus on.
Just thinking out loud. Miss you all & hope that you’re keeping well ✌️❤️

07 March 2020
That was the date of the last wedding I photographed. Ginny + Glen + 160 guests gathered at the base of Mount Washington in Bretton Woods, NH to witness a promise, and revel in the possibilities of the road ahead. No one in attendance could possibly have fathomed the turn that our lives would take in the weeks that followed. Back then ‘social distancing’ wasn’t yet a part of our daily vernacular and the concept of ‘quarantine’ seemed like something out of a sci-fi film. How things have changed.
..
..
The following Thursday morning I boarded a plane en route to a cover another event in Tampa. Somewhere between takeoff and touch down on that flight, the World as I had come to define it had changed. Like we had collectively warped into another dimension. The new reality was terrifying and for my professional life, catastrophic.
I miss my work enormously. I miss the connection, the camaraderie. I miss shoot prep, the rehearsal dinners, the morning rituals, the ‘I do’s’. I miss receptions and speeches, the first dance, parent dances and sweaty booze-inspired dances that follow. I miss the storylines. The narrative. The gravity of it all. Mostly, I miss the hugs at the end of the night that epitomize a mutual admiration that can only come from sharing in something of massive significance.
I love photographing weddings. ...and I am shattered that so much of what I had looked forward to this year has fallen victim to this ‘new normal’. BUT
I am optimistic. I am staying the course and adhering to my social responsibility. Make no mistake, my friends - The road ahead is a long one, and the shift that this pandemic will cause on our social dynamic is significant. But we will get back, and the plans that we had adjusted will become the events that we look forward to again.
Until then, stay safe, stay home (whenever possible), lay low, pray more, strengthen family bonds, reconnect with old friends, reconnect with yourself 🙏

I made this photograph back in 2011, somewhere along the Via Dell’Amore on the coast of Cinque Terre in Italy. ..
If you asked then, I’d say that the geometry appealed to me, as did the subtle texture in the highlights. Or maybe it was the minimalist feel created by loads of negative space. I liked that it lead me somewhere, but I never gave much thought to where that was. ..
Looking at the photo now. Today. In quarantine, during a global pandemic. Well. I’m having a totally different experience with it. Hard questions have replaced light-hearted curiosity.
Where is it taking me? What’s around the corner? Is there any light on the other side? Why so many questions? Am I supposed to follow that path? To where? For what?? What if it sucks?
But. Maybe it won’t suck. Maybe it will be for better. There’s that possibility too. In fact, it will be better someday, I’m sure. ..
Until then, here’s what I’m seeing: Stay in the light. One step at a time, one foot in front of the other. It’s dark. It’s scary. It curves and bends and is not at all familiar. But there’s light. ...and where there is light, there is hope. Be brave. Be bright. ..
We’re all in this together, and the path is crazy-foreign to everyone. Stay the course, my friends. Participate in the moment. Lean into the unknown. Stay safe. Stay home. Be well. ..

We’re able to build these buildings and develop software that lets me stitch 28 photos together to make this one photo, but we didn’t see this mess coming?
Not getting political. But. I think that it was in poor taste to artificially inflate a nation in desperate need of hope (while simultaneously puppet-stringing the stock market) with frivolous claims; only to inevitably adjust them now that there’s no denying that this thing is real 😡
The adjusted dates are too soon, btw. We need more time to do it right. ...or at least, as well as possible.
This virus doesn’t know about your economic system. It doesn’t care. Shut down. Quit the lies. Buy us time. Give our people a chance, for fuck sake. How much money can you possibly need?
