INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Inwood Pix

My family and I have been living in Inwood for a few years now. We love it. It's an amazing place to live with a young crew. So beautiful is it that I've decided to make a photo blog of shots made exclusively in Inwood and Washington heights. These images will post small but upon clicking will open in a new window nice and large.

I already have a lot of material and will continue to shoot in the neighborhood regularly, in all seasons, in hopes of making better and better images. For the most part these images are of the place itself rather than the people that inhabit it, though some of them will appear from time to time. That's inevitable.

I want to share these images. I want them to be seen. I would like to share Inwood, as I see it, with anyone who likes to look at fine photography. I will also be selling these as archival prints and posters. The posters will be less expensive and large while the photo prints will be of exhibition quality.

I've been a photojournalist since 1992 and have been widely published around the world. I like making photographs in this neighborhood where I live, of my children and on the streets of this magnificent city. I have an exhibition under development for 2008 downtown and I published my first book 12 months ago. I was featured in CROSSWALKS: Contemporary Street Photography at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art in 2006 and have had two solo shows in Manhattan, in 1998 and 2003.

This is my third blog and it's for our community. I also have my Photohumorist blog aimed primarily at my colleagues and peers who tend to comment privately. And finally I have my family blog for family and friends, mostly overseas.

I'll finish up this first post with an image I made yesterday on my way home from many hours of walking and exploring. This scene presented itself along Seaman Avenue as I rushed home to help Claire get the chaps ready for bed. Needless to say I was slightly delayed as I tried to figure out a way to make a picture. I went back later to try and make a better shot but it had been cleared away.


Seaman Avenue.

I welcome all comments, either way.


Thank you for your time.
