Free E-Book: New York City, 1989
I put together some images from my New York City Portfolio in e-book format.
In 1989 I went from living in Hawaii to living in New York City. It was so horrible at first, but we all find a way to deal with it. For me, it was photography. I began to devour everything I could read about the subject. For a couple years I walked the streets for 6-15 hours per day shooting freelance photos of whatever caught my eye.
I also started shooting model portfolios at Zoli, one of the top 3 modeling agencies at the time. When he called me in I worked with a fashion photographer as an assistant, loading his Hasselblad cameras by 10’s and 20’s as he went about shooting all day. He had a few lucrative contracts for catalog companies.
That photographer gave me a few hundred rolls of Tri-X 400 film to shoot for free - on my own time. I had a blast, over the next few months I shot and developed over 10,000 black and white photos. I was also shooting color slide film and I must have shot another 10,000 of those each year.
I was working in a custom photo lab developing slide film and proofing and color-correcting slide replications from HBO and many of the major TV networks.
New York City isn’t my favorite place in the world - but it does hold a lot of memories for me. Some are on the pages of this portfolio, some are locked away in my mind.
I hope you enjoy this portfolio, I’ve never shown nor sold these images before.
