Autumn in Central Park on the iPhone…
A beautiful autumn day in Central Park looking across The Lake at the buildings along Central Park West. The scene was captured on the iPhone 4S and post-processed on the iPhone with an app from Nik Software called Snapseed. I highly recommend the app for your iPhone or iPad. Very intuitive and fun to play with the [...]
October Snow in NYC…
The biggest October snowstorm in New York City’s history covered parts of the tri-state area with anywhere from 2 inches to 20 inches of the white stuff. Central Park set a record for both the date and the month of October with 2.9 inches of snow. West Milford, N.J., about 45 miles northwest of New [...]

October brings a change to the leaves in New York’s Central Park as we enter the Fall season. The slightly chilly mornings and [...]
Chicago Fitness Model Ethan Maxwell Landry…
I had the opportunity earlier this year to work with fitness model Ethan Maxwell Landry (a.k.a. Eh Moo La) a couple of times when he traveled to New York City from his home in Chicago. You can’t tell it from his photographs, but Ethan (a.k.a. Moo) is a rather private and shy person. Recently, New [...]
The Path to Whole Foods…
To get to the Whole Foods grocery store in New York’s Time Warner Center… you have to go down escalators to the lower level of the mall. This is a shot hanging over the railing from the fourth level of the mall looking straight down at the escalators and the food court tables. The path [...]
A New York September Night…
The first night of September was beautiful on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. 70°F, no humidity… a perfect fall evening during the last days of summer. Traffic zooms down Broadway past the 72nd Street subway station. Midnight along Columbus Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and all is quiet.
Wet & Empty…
The streets on the Upper West Side of Manhattan were wet and empty as Hurricane Irene arrived Sunday morning. No cars or pedestrians along New York City’s Columbus Avenue Sunday morning as Irene arrived.
Manhattan Water Tower Sunset…
Water towers are as New York as yellow taxicabs, and just as omnipresent. A distinctive feature of residential (and many commercial buildings) in New York City is the presence of wooden roof-mounted water towers, which were required on all buildings higher than six stories by city ordinance in the 19th century because the municipal water pipes [...]
Sunday Soaker…
It was a wet Sunday on the Upper West Side of Manhattan… but the weekend brunch crowd still ventured out onto the sidewalks at 73rd Street and Columbus looking for food. According to the NY Daily News… New York broke an all-time record for a one-day rainfall Sunday as up to 8 inches of water [...]
Picture Perfect Park…
6:30am. 67ºF. Low humidity. The sun peaking over the buildings of Manhattan’s east side. Makes for a picture perfect morning for a walk in Central Park.

Studio 2F
Apartment 2F has now become STUDIO 2F I’ve now transformed Apartment 2F into STUDIO 2F. Hmmmm… might be a name for a website, or a blog or a new company! The living room now is a studio complete with a portrait background (yes that same cheesy portrait background that they used for all your school [...]
Saturday Shoot with Darnell
Shot yesterday with Darnell. He’s been modeling for about 5 years now and was so easy to work with. We took 649 pictures during the 4+ hours of shooting. It was fun. There was a lot of back and forth idea sharing and we came up with some good photos.
Saturday Shoot with Daniel
daniel, originally uploaded by michaelnyc. I walked over to Riverside Park today with my friend Daniel. This was the first shot of about 300 shots we took this afternoon, and I think I like it best of all of them. I should have just stopped after this one! Beautiful, sunny day in NYC. The [...]
Location shoots
kero, originally uploaded by michaelnyc. Ran across a great location to shoot last week with the model I was shooting with at the time, Kero. It’s an access way to the Amtrak train tracks that run under Riverside Park. It’s just a big metal grate door (with a lock on it) but the entryway made [...]
