Malala Yousafzai

in ,

I would say that generally my policy was to politely refuse a "celebrity" photo opportunity. Then years ago Bill Clinton asked if I wanted a photo and I politely declined and immediately felt like a rude idiot. How could I refuse the opportunity with Malala Yousafzai. I hope my daughter has even an ounce of her drive

““My great hope is that this will be the last time we must fight for the education of our children. Let us solve this once and for all.””

Sirius XM at the Comedy Cellar in 2013

in ,

Before I had kids I used to photograph much more entertainment jobs in the evening and some of these Sirius XM comedy nights were some of my favorite. Especially this particular evening in 2013 where Matt Damon was the surprise guest and Amy Schumer did some incredible stand up routine.

City Harvest Skip Lunch Fight Hunger

in ,

You spend $15 on lunch because you live in New York City. You feed 60 kids with $15 because you’re a New Yorker. And with nearly 420,000 in our city facing hunger, you know you’re going to do something about it.
