The longer you do photography the more you are able to see a moment before it happens. Well this is something I could have never seen coming. This Heron just pulled this fish out of the water and ate it within a few seconds! Always be ready! You never know when something incredible might happen!

I go to the city on Sundays.

It’s free to park.

I drive around, walk a lot, eat good food, have many espressos and try to capture just some moments that happen around me.

Practicing some slow shutter panning shots in Herald Square!

“How much it cost?”

I was sitting in Herald Square just watching people, waiting for something to grab my attention. This guy said “yo let me get a pic!”

Of course I would just take the photo and send it to him. But he asked me how much it would cost.

This is just a reminder that people will always support you just for getting out there and trying.

Sea Hear Now Day 2

We really lucked out with the weather this weekend!

Day 1, it really windy. I only got to fly the drone for about 20 minutes. I was as far away as I could be and kept losing connection but I knew what I got in that 20 minutes was still incredible.

Day 2, I knew I could do better. I wasn’t even sure if I’d have a chance to fly with the rain. Gotta try anyway.

I sat right outside the stage. I could hear it perfectly but still had plenty of space to take off and land. It’s interesting to hear a concert live but watch it through a screen. We got so lucky with no wind and a perfect clear night for the Goo Goo Dolls

I was able to fly for a short period during The Strokes too but I got hit with sorry your storage is full😅

As soon as I brought it back and landed the rain really started coming down, just incredible timing really.

Thank you everyone who visits every year!

See you guys again next year!

Living local to Asbury Park, I’ve been going to Sea.Hear.Now since it started and always wanted to be able to show just how many people come from all over to visit our home.

Yesterday was very windy which is not ideal for flying but the Sunday forecast for day 2 said it was going to rain most of the day. I didn’t want to risk having to wait till next year so I managed to fly it for about 30 minutes.

This is what I got.

Thank you to everyone who helps make this weekend possible 🙏🏻

I was just starting kindergarten when 911 happened. My dad worked in the city but didn’t drive in early that day. After seeing what happened on the news my mom picked me up from school. We watched the smoke pour into the sky from this little beach near my house that you could see the skyline of the city in the distance.

Every year they shine the Lights In Tribute and I find it important to go, just pay respects.

I decided 6 years ago I would go every year and photograph the lights and from there forward and I haven’t missed a year.

This year I started at Liberty State Park around 8pm.

I then drove to Jersey City Exchange which has always been my go to spot. By this time it was already getting pretty late but the lights stay on till 5am.

I thought we could still do better, I asked ChatGPT where I would need to stand to place the Statue of Liberty in the center of One World Observatory and it sent me to the Bayonne Memorial. The Statue of Liberty was just a bit too far to the left.

I met some other photographers there and mentioned my idea and they showed me on the map exactly where I should go!

I arrived to my last spot by 1am at that point. The first photo in this set was the last photo I took that night.

6 years of taking photos of the Lights in Tribute. I think this is the best I’ve done so far. Never forget🙏🏻

Manhattan Henge 2026!

4 years in a row trying to get this shot!
Mission complete💪🏻

Taken at 34th street!

07/14/2026

I’ve been after a shot of the manhattan henge for at least 4 years now, it’s either been cloudy or I just didn’t quite get it perfectly aligned every time I’ve tried.

This is a moment that’s interesting, it lasts about a minute or so and then you have to wait a whole year to try again.

Id say it was worth the 4 years of trying.

There are 5 streets you can view this from twice a year once in May and again in July.

This was taken on 34th street
