Editorial Photography: Feature
In October I received a request for photographs of Holyoke to be featured in Land Lines, a publication put out quarterly by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. I have a studio in Holyoke, a post-industrial city with a sea of mill buildings. My studio is situated almost directly in the middle of Boston and New York City. I have spent a lot of time making photographs in Holyoke. While I have featured the tear sheets on my website, I wanted to also post them here.

All the photographs that are featured in the article are aerial images of the city. I flew in a helicopter to produce the images. It was my second time flying in a helicopter for an aerial shoot. I would jump into a helicopter any given chance. On this particular shoot I had a friend accompany me. It was a lot of fun because our pilot was very skillful at flying. At one point she turned the machine at almost a 90 degree angle to give me a complete downward view over a landmark. Fun times.
Fall Foliage: A few quick shots
Fall in New England is such a beautiful time. There is a variable color shift and transition as the seasons change. Those elements make things come to life. The Autumn months are, slightly, arguably my favorite months out the year. But I say that for every season, being a New England boy at heart. Here are a few shots I made the other day. I am disembarking the U.S for the first time this Sunday. I will be back in 7 days and look forward to seeing more color.
