It's always great to spend some time in Los Angeles especially when I'm hired to photograph a huge motorcycle gathering and conference for such an iconic brand. A huge thanks to the Proscenium team who create these incredible stages and backdrops for these images.

I've been lucky to travel quite a bit for work this year, but was pleasantly surprised when one of the assignments came in as a 3 day conference in Montego Bay, Jamaica at an all inclusive resort. I'm always happy to travel, especially to exotic locations in the Caribbean.

Always great to spend some time on the farm at Stone Barns especially in the summer when there are so many great things in bloom and the brand new little Red Wattle piglets were an added bonus.

Despite the light rain and grey sky the jazz concert at NYBG last night was awesome. A Centennial Tribute to the first recording and the international roots of Jazz led by powerhouse Latin jazz trombonist Chris Washburne and Brazilian virtuoso pianist André Mehmari.

There are lots of ways to correctly photograph a fireworks display on the fourth of July at Whippoorwill, but with all of the options, why just stick with one method. I mounted 2 cameras on a tripod and set the shutter speed to 4 seconds and the aperture at F8 (ISO 200). Both cameras were triggered by a Pocket Wizard that was fired when my other Canon 5D Mark IV took a photo. One of the tricks I learned was to unmount the pocket wizard from the hotshot of the Canon, as it was causing a domino effect and shooting the other pocketwizards
