Today I saw a someone on the subway with this Nikon F5. I knew I had to chat with him and get a snap of what we were each carrying. I love that you can see a fellow photographer in the wild, a complete stranger, and most are so happy to chat about a shared passion. Love that for us.

Do you still have your first camera? What was it? This is mine, my Nikon FM3A. Ran a whole lot of Tri-X and HP5+ through this one. This is the camera that made me fall in love with photography.

A few favorites. My first camera, gifts from friends, and some souvenirs collected along the way.

Really proud of the work made last year. From the Tonight Show to being part of festival teams to leading workshops, it was a good one. Here’s to a great 2025.

One of my favorite images from Jin on Fallon. One of my goals ever since starting as a concert photographer years ago is to try to make images that let the viewer feel like they were at the show. To even hear the music and to feel the emotion of the performance.

Is ARMY here? Jin's performance of "Running Wild" on Fallon was electric. Though the audience is only about 225 people, it felt like a stadium full of ARMY. I saw many in the audience with RJ plushies, cards and other items they'd brought for Jin. It was very touching to see the love on display.

One of my favorite parts of working on the Tonight Show are the blue wall photos we do of our guests. These happen just after their appearance in the studio. I generally don’t tell anyone how to pose, so what you see is genuinely from every individual.

My first Coolpix. I was looking for a pocketable, point and shoot. I picked up the Nikon Coolpix A, which is an absolute gem: APS-C sensor with no low pass filter, exceptionally sharp and well matched 28mm f/2.8 lens, beautifully detailed RAW files. Even has a flash. My new take-everywhere camera.

The Beaver Moon, the last supermoon of this year. Photographed with my Nikon Z6iii and 400mm f/4.5 from my rooftop in Brooklyn just minutes ago.

Catch me cheesing in the photo pit. This is my happy place as a photographer: At a concert, cameras in hand, chasing light and emotion on stage.
