Katrina Campins from Bravo’s “Miami Social” was also on hand with Justin Tuck at the Powerplay event. Katrina participated in a Q & A with 3 other distinguished women from various industries. She  gave wonderful real-world advice to these girls and serves as a shining example on how to be a successful in business. It was obvious that her warm and engaging style really captured their attention.

Justin Tuck, defensive end for the New York Giants was on hand at a very special charity event that I covered last week.

It was a one-day event run by Powerplay (www.powerplaynyc.org) providing high school girls from underserved communities with the opportunity to:

• Connect with female role models & mentors
• Explore a variety of careers
• Learn valuable life skills
• Paticpate in sports & fitness activities

Justin spent the day mentoring these girls in football and providing positive feedback through example. A couple more pictures below.

I’ll post more shots of the attendees and girls soon.

 Here’s the cover shot and feature images that I shot for Next Magazine. Next is a weekly New York City magazine.

 Pick it up, check it out and have a great weekend!

Once again I’ll be participating in an art fair!  I have some fantastic new pieces that I’ll be displaying. There will be a variety of artists there, come enjoy the work and maybe you’ll take home a one of a kind piece of art!

So it seems you never know where my work will show up. The New York Post did an article on a couple who’s wedding was on New Year’s eve. I was on hand to shoot it and it looks like one of my images got published in the Post’s Sunday’s paper and online. Here’s a link to the online article.
