I’ve been absent from my site here for a while. I’ve been absent from a lot of things. Those who know me know that I’ve suffered a severe tragedy in my life a few months ago, and I’ve been focusing most of my waking moments on that and will continue to do so for quite some time. Life since October 2011 changed drastically as I knew it, therefore my photography and any other “fun” things are on the back burner for a while until my situation gets under control.
I’ve had a lot of support from a lot of people, and for that I will be forever thankful. True friends show their true colors in difficult times, and you know who you are. I love you.
On the other hand, I still need to make a living so I am still squeezing in any paying photo work, so please still contact me if you have a shoot to be done.
That’s all folks. “I’ll be back.”
For those around Buffalo, it’s no secret that the Nation Preservation Conference is in town this week. The National Trust for Historic Preservation came to Buffalo over the summer to shoot a documentary about the city: “Buffalo Unscripted”. I won’t write so much about it because all the info can be found here:

I was lucky enough to be a part of it, being able to photograph Silo City and the Richardson Complex (while not that many my set of photos can be found here).
For the premiere showing of Buffalo Unscripted tonight at the Market Arcade theaters, I’ll have some work on display during a reception before the showing. I know it’s a bit last minute but that’s how it goes sometimes! Tickets are free and will go fast so get there early!
The Palace at 5 Beekman, Temple Court, Beekman Palace… whatever you call it, words cannot describe it until you’re in it. Which is what I was, back in June 2011. There is no where else you can be in the middle of one of the largest cities in the world and be totally alone inside of a totally empty and beautifully decayed 9-story building. A rare opportunity to see… even more awesome to shoot. A beautiful atrium, ornate ironwork, solid woodwork. The Farwell building in Detroit mimicks Beekman but in my opinion doesn’t come close in the quality of work or attention to detail.
Soon this will be developed into a high end luxury hotel, so the timing was perfect. I will surely plan a stay here when it is done. Full set of pics below, and more to be added soon.
“MILLONS ONCE WELCOMED AS TRAVELERS; PUBLIC NOW WELCOMED TO TOUR BUFFALO CENTRAL TERMINAL: Guided Tours of One of America’s Greatest Art Deco Buildings Continue this Summer”
Throughout this year, Buffalo Central Terminal is offering many public tours. Now is your chance to see this amazing architectural wonder inside and up close. Recently a bunch of friends and I visited and managed to get a little “private time” inside the main concourse while the main tour group was milling around outside. This place is amazing, and as many times as I’ve seen it i still can’t get enough.
See this link for all the information and the remaining tour dates left this year.
