Fine Art Representation by Peter Halpert Fine Art


hello all.... I am excited to share with you more great news today. I was recently discovered by Peter Halpert the gallery owner who discovered the legendary photographer Ryan McGinley. I was introduced to Peter by photographer Roberto De Luna a couple months ago. I got up my nerve and I contacted Peter about showing him some of my fine art work that had only been seen by a few select people. I was greatly encouraged to find a gallery, yet I never wanted to show my personal work. I was pushed in the direction of Peter Halpert the man behind the unbelievable success story of Ryan.

A few editing sessions and a few lunches led to my invitation for a solo exhibition
at Peter Halpert Fine Art Gallery in Chelsea in the spring of 2008. I seemed to have hooked into the best months to show in NYC. I got the prime spot of the year. CRAZYY
Esp if you know me.. it's crazy. So know I must draw a line between my fine art and my commercial work. EASY.. I love to shot and have fun. SO cheers to everyone who helped make that happen and cheers to picking up a camera.

latest edition to the family


NEWEST EDITION TO THE FAMILY !!

"IGGY" the 14 week old Brussels Griffon from Florida.. Iggy survived a short flight up from Miami in first class..SPOILED already.
I must make a note.. I am not a little dog fan at ALL !! I love big dogs! But what can I do .. the fiance wanted a dog, I am gone all the time and after saying no to a little dog for almost a year now. I broke down and said yes. humm. This started a search for a Brussels Griffon .. what is that? It's the dog from the movie "As Good As It Gets" starring Jack Nicholson.
To make a long story longer.. Shopping for a dog with a woman is a bit crazy... all the demands you would expect plus many many more. One thing leads to another and bam I am hooked on this breed.. The next thing I know.. I want one too. I think it would be so badass to bring a little scrapper to my shoots... I am 6'3 and my pooch would be 5 inches... Jeff and Big..
Can't wait for a new contributor page photo. Imagine Big standing 'Tall' and me and my crazy style. Black and white shot low..
GREAT pic ! back to the story.. Big arrives next week from Salt lake City. I got suckered into flying to SLC and back in the same day (leave 5am-back in nyc at midnight) to pick up "BIG" .. more on her later. Now the only thing I worry about is not stepping on Iggy.. She is 2.1 lbs and 7 inches tall.. desperately waiting for the "Dog Whisperer" to train the little beast. haha she rocks my world.
PSSSSSSS..... Iggy was purchased at this place outside of Miami where over 39 celebrities have found there poochies, like OZZY Osbourne and all the others who caved in when the wife said "I want a little dog". Anyways check them out!!! http://puppiesforsalebynet.com/

Cory Kennedy in Neo2 out NOWWW!!!



CORY KENNEDY SHOT FOR NEO 2 finally out !!!!!!!!!!

neo2 is an amazing magazine out of Spain, where Cory is a superstar. Shot this sometime over the summer in LA. Had a great two days with Cory, My friend Lawren Sample styled and the amazing Billy B gave Cory her cat eye and we dug up Syd to coiff Cory's locks. We shot in an abandoned house somewhere in LA.... I have absolutely no idea where we were.... we survived on pringles and coffee over the course of 2 days with Cory and the gang. good times
