NYC's Chinese Community Celebrates the Roast Pork Bun Blog...

...Or vice versa. But instead of the pork bun, we celebrate the New Year.
Check out the following images from this morning's New Years celebrations in Chinatown (still going on as I post, so head on downtown if you can):

Ahh yes, and a self-timed photo of my Sevilla
posse. Taken during the first study-abroad
reunion of 2009, by far the most exciting
event of the week.

Two Things I Cannot Escape in NYC

1) Newly constructed condos lacking in taste
2) Those crazy ladders that were originally used for hanging laundry

Published in Edible Manhattan - Winter Issue

Back in November, when it was warm enough for me to walk the city streets without worrying about my camera freezing, I went on assignment for Edible Manhattan - up to 116th st and Frederick Douglass Blvd - to shoot what's now known as Little Senegal. A big thank you to Michael Harlan Turkell (Photo Editor), for including some of my images in Katy Keiffer's article about the rapidly growing West African strip.

You can find the January/February 2009 issue of E.M. at places such as Whole Foods, Chelsea Market, Dean & Deluca, Gramercy Tavern, 5 Ninth, Ill Buco, and countless other fine eateries, wine shops, and markets in NYC.

More Photo Updates Coming Soon, I Promise...

Between the holidays, new years, event shooting, and moving into a new apartment, life has been beyond hectic. Just wanted to let everyone know that some new work will be going up within the next few days, so keep on checking in. I have some BIG things coming in for 2009...Hope everyone had a great new year!
