this is my final project speaking about City Casting and its workers.

I decided to do my project on the experience at the Yeezy Season 4 presentation on Roosevelt Island, for New York Fashion Week. Since it was my first show, and Kanye West is infamous for selling the “experience” of his products, despite thier quality. Although I am behind the camera, I wanted to photograph it from the angle of the audience, therefore, bring you all along for the ride. So welcome to Yeezy Season.

Hello Class.

This is my drafty google slides doc of the final days of a sleepy Upper East Side (E 96-90) neighborhood before the Second Avenue subway begins its first run. In my written comments, I plan to get into experiences and perspectives of the before, during, and completion of what I would consider a ‘community renovation’. I will be doing this through the voices of residences, business owners, and observations of people who work in the neighborhood.

Theres a lot of construction shots Ive posted already–since they are almost done with the project– and I also plan to include more candid shots of the neighborhood people.

Thanks for reading.

My photo essay is all about a local baseball team based on Pelham Parkway in The Bronx. I followed a specific team for over two weeks spending time with the whole team but mostly spending time with Cruz brothers, and following their journey through it all. (Photos 4,5,6, and 10 are being planned to be replaced with in game photos from this upcoming weeks game.)

I have focused my project on the Cannoli Eating Contest that takes place yearly at the San Gennaro Festival in Little Italy. I had an incredible time shooting this in such a high energy environment and having the event so closely tied to my favorite dessert! I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

This past Sunday, I took a trip to Metlife Stadium to see the New York Giants take on the New Orleans Saints. With the game being the home opener, I took the liberty to document this event. I basically wanted to do a day in the life of a Giants fan. Though I may or may not use this idea as my final project, I still enjoyed this event nonetheless. The pictures may not be good, but maybe you can find something in the story. It was a terrific game all around that just added to this breathtaking experience.

Every year car enthusiast like my self, head to downtown Glen Cove, which is a beautiful community that gets closed down for a day, to look at exotic cars parked all over the streets. The event is to bring Diabetes awareness to the community. The Exotic cars pay a registration fee to bring their cars into the show and the money raised gets funded to Diabetes Research Institute in Miami, Florida. It began with only BMW’s at the show that had custom mods on them. As the event progressed more exotic cars started to come in such as Ferrari’s, Lambo’s, McLaren’s etc. The owners of these cars donate at higher value then those that come for simple registration. This year Bimmerstock has raised more than $338,000 over the course of 8 years!

My photo essay is on a traditional Korean and Vietnamese wedding. The wedding incorporates both individual wedding traditions. The groom is Vietnamese, his family requires them to both be in Vietnamese traditional wedding wear. The bride is Korean and her family requires them to be in a particular Korean traditional wedding wear that is different from the Vietnamese culture. These two cultures can be similar but also very different. These two cultures both require a tea ceremony to show respect, get acceptance from both families and also receive a gift for each tea handed out. Tea is not only given to both parents, but aunts and uncles as well to show respect and also honor them as individuals who has and still impact their lives.
