A setting sun is rising somewhere.

 As the year comes to a close and a new one begins it reminds me of sunsets and sunrises. When you are watching a sunset there is someone who's longitudinal opposite is seeing a sun rise and vise versa. Deep, right?

This year had it's bumps in the road, storm clouds and general PITA moments but with all the year brought, the good far outweighs the bad. For that I will ever be looking for the next sunrise/set.

I hope everyone had a great  New Years!

24hours: Miami

Miami_Story-V2.jpg

24 Hours to shoot some personal work before my job last week in Miami. I took full advantage of the Sun, sand, and nightlife South beach offers. The people, architecture, cars, and importantly SUN of South beach provided great photo opportunities throughout the day.  Miami is always fun, never disappoints!

Since it has snowed quite a bit since I have been back home I feel another trip may be in the works very soon. In the mean time, I hope you enjoyed. 

Thanks - D

 

 

HERE's to 80 YEARS!

December 5, 1933, prohibition ended in the United States of America.  It has been 80 years now since repeal day. Now there are no shortages of fine cocktails, wine and beer in Boston. Here are some of my favorite places to have a drink: (In no particular order)  J.M Curley's, Smith and Wollensky (at the Castle), Bukowski's,  Drink,  My house, etc etc.. The list could go on. Celebrate in style tonight and raise a glass to the 21st Amendment.

Cheers!  (The valediction, not the bar)

Curacao - Carnival

Curacao

Curacao

I recently shot in the Caribbean for Carnival Cruise Lines, with their agency Arnold Worldwide. It was a packed week with several Island countries, a lot of fun, and a ton of images made. One stop was the Island of Curacao, off the coast of Venezuela.  What a great place, super colorful!  After the shoot wrapped I had a chance to walk around town with the team from Arnold. I was able to shoot this while wandering.  Thanks so much to Deb and Nicole from Arnold, this was a great job.

CAMBODIA

This past trip to Cambodia and Thailand has really got ahold on me. The food, the people, the scenery are all mesmerizing. A beauty which is difficult to put into words. 

 

The people work so hard for so little, but have a happiness about them that you would be hard pressed to find in your average American. The experience made me look at what's important in my life, not so much the material things I've attained, but the personal relationships I'm blessed with.

 

These 3 images represent the peacefulness I saw inside the people of Cambodia. No, Cambodia was not all Temples and Monks, but I think its fitting as an illustration of the country. The temples are strong and have stood the test of time, weather and war. The Monks illustrate, quite literally, the colorful, peaceful and happy people of Cambodia.
