She lived in Raritan NJ. and he is from Flemington CT. Maria and John were made for each other, knew each other forever- She looks like a vision and I tried to capture her dreamy qualities, without falling in love~ I fall in love with all of my brides... They are all so beautiful!
She is Catholic and he is Jewish, must be quite a feeling to break the glass
in a church! The best of both worlds, very fitting as they start a new life togther! Besides having a great DJ/Band www.damicoentertainment.com, Info@cd-ent.com, they had a wonderful Videographer who never gets in my way, Hey it's Mike of www.MjVideoProductions.com

On the eve of the Pulaski Day Parade, The Polish American Republican Caucus (PARC) held their 28th Annual Champagne Brunch at the elegant Royal Manor in Garfield NJ. Delicious food and great entertainment as the Marching Band ( direct from Poland ) set the mood before Dorothy Kostecka Wieczerak received her "Outstanding Citizen of the Year 2009" Award. Being a photojournalist, I remain neutral- I don't take sides, I take pictures! For history- documenting the trials and tribulations of Man. Liberals one day, conservatives the next ( sometimes both on the same day! ) I shoot junkies and gangs like the Black Spades and Latin Kings ( no pun intended, LOL ) but I am also privileged to capture the crime fighting crusaders like Curtis Sliwa (www.GuardianAngels.org) who is this years Grand Marshall and gave a rousing keynote speech. I photographed him many times over the years but never gave a thought about his Polish background or his Polish wife Mary or son Anthony. And that is exactly the point! Polish Events and Achievements often get little press in United State news. I see now that his actions (sometimes controversy ) and views are cries for concern for a better future - for his family and all our children- bequeath it all he shines as a caring family man! www.2tygodnikpolonijny.com, www.dziennik.com

Terry and I have long admired & emulated the work of the great Pin-Up photographer
ROBERT ALVARADO- but she wanted to see him in action and close up! So she called him (+ every photographer she knew) to set up a Master Class in her NJ studio- YES,
we learned all his secrets... now we just have to learn how to forge his name!!!

First time I ever won anything! I bid online against other photographers. No I was not the cheapest, a smart consumer would not go that way if looking for quality photography! They wanted me there 5:30 am, of course they shown up after 6:30 but never-the-less we made great images and really enoyed ourselves! It's my pleasure to show my new Indian friends ( one couple from California, one from Edison Nj and one from Bayonne Nj) how we do things in Staten island!

Adrianna had her QUINCEANERA in March. Her special day was at one of the grandest halls in Staten Island, THE EXCELSIOR GRAND! It was a never ending party with non-stop action and fun!

Scott Weisberg started out as magician and parlayed it into a whole industry. From one attraction to the complete event. He can set up tents and put a carnival inside-
Just add people who want to have fun!
When I am available, I freelance for my friends- Here I shot a 8th Grade Prom at www.RexManor.com in Brooklyn for him. Setting up lights as if it was a magazine shoot- each kid felt like a STAR!

I'm glad to see that my work and products have been improving~! To me it's very exciting! I now offer smaller books and albums and each designed with the images you pick out! Each parent or friend can can have their own choices as opposed to the clone book of the main album we usually offer. Those weekly photography meetings I go to with the www.PPANJ.Com, www.PPGNY.org and www.ASMP.org are so worth it! Whatever it is you want WE CAN DO IT!

Happened to pass the Staten Island Museum today on my way to buy groceries and spied a flag outside the Museum bearing the likeness of my image PURPLE HAZE which won the Weissglass Purchase Award. The five foot wide Floating Mounted Plexi Cibachrome (value four thousand dollars) is typical of the work I was doing in the late 1990's. Funny that last week Alanna from Paris, France was helping me hang two other pieces in a bank display ( VictoryStateBank.com) and there is another piece in the Aurum Exhibit in Harlem until the end of July 2009. There are still a few of these LIMITED
EDITION works of art available, so call me if you want a good price- I know the artist!

GRAFFITI... Born In The Streets

2009-05-24T14:35:00.000-07:00

From July 7 to November 29, 2009, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain in Paris France, (www.fondation.cartier.com)
will present Born in the Streets—Graffiti, an exhibition devoted to graffiti and street art. Occupying the entire gallery space of the Fondation Cartier, as well as the building’s façade and surrounding garden, the exhibition will bring to light the extraordinary expansion of an artistic movement that developed in the streets of New York in the early 1970s to rapidly become a world-wide phenomenon. Today, graffiti has entered the cultural mainstream, crossing over to the realms of studio art, design and advertising. Yet despite its immense popularity, this essentially illegal activity continues to evolve at the periphery of the contemporary art world, its origins and evolution little-known to the general public.

My 1974 B/W photojouralistic photo essay "A DAY IN THE LIFE" ( a chapter from "JUST WRITING ON WALLS... which is from the larger work "DETAILS OF THE AMERICAN DREAM) will fit right in. Along with the eight 16 by 20 prints (Treatments designed by Jonathan Penney, www.JonathanPenney.com) Alanna Minta collected a file from me of a key image
which will be blown up to fit an entire wall of the exhibit!

Naturally I took Alanna around to enjoy the sights of Staten Island NY which not only included some modern day Graffiti ( which wasn't too hard to find!) but also a
side trip to the land-marked home of the early photographer Alice Austen (www.AliceAusten.org) We then ended up at The U.S. Art Company (www.UsArt.com) the premiere Art Shipper for museums worldwide to make sure the work will be packaged safely for travel.

NEW GALLERY IN TOWN!

2009-05-13T19:24:00.000-07:00

The Creative Photographers’ Guild Inc. was established by a small group of photographers who saw a need for an organization, dedicated to photography, which went beyond the scope of the traditional camera club. Their first meeting was held in April of 2005. The Guild’s primary mission is to conduct a not-for-profit cooperative photographic gallery dedicated to the encouragement of the artistic development of photographers, to serve both its members and the public by providing a venue for public exhibit, giving critiques, lectures, demonstrations, seminars, instructions and sharing experiences.

Photography is by itself a powerful, modern, universal, visual language through which we convey information, ideas and every human emotion. The Guild’s Center for Photography located at Richmond Terrace and Tysens Lane (Right outside of Snug Harbor Cultural Center) will provide the community of Staten Island a place to share in all things photography.

Through exhibits, seminars, workshops and outreach programs, CPG helps people both see and feel the world around them in new, fresh and exciting ways...

Usually when I get an emergency call from a doctor it's to find out if I'm available to do a NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP shoot (www.nilmdts.org) but today is VALENTINES DAY and this doctor wanted to know if I could come to Brooklyn @ 5 pm to perform a SURPRISE MATERNITY PHOTO SESSION! He was looking on the web for a photog - AND he found the right one! I work 24/7 so it's no problem. I brought my girlfriend to assist and we knocked it up - I mean out!
