Photo Jan 18, 5 28 06 PM

My sister-in-law is a big reader and wanted to incorporate books into the photos. For this photo, I knew I didn’t need much for lighting or “the set”. We used a white [...]

Friday’s weather report for Saturday in New York City didn’t look so good. In fact, my Uncle, +MITCHELL STEIN was supposed to come with me to the Photo Plus Expo, but he decided against it because his drive home would be really long and annoying in the snow. I don’t blame him. My drive home [...]
