The Sky Through My Eyes

Over the past 2 years, I have become increasingly fascinated by the clouds that paint our sky. From panoramas over the highway to birds eye shots from the window seat of an airplane, the natural beauty of clouds and light is one of my favorite things to photograph. Here is a collection of cloud photos I have taken over the past 2 years. Enjoy!

Petra, Jordan /

Petra, Jordan

Until 1812, the site remained unknown to the Western world. It was described by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt as " a rose-red city half as old as time". Petra was chosen by the BBC as one of " the 40 places you have to see before you die", and I agree.

Antoni Gaudi /

Antoni Gaudi

Of the many culturally significant attractions in the Spanish city of Barcelona, perhaps the most spectacular and memorable is the architecture of Antoni Gaudi. Although the bulk of his work was completed in the latter part of the 19th century (a period commonly referred to as the modernist period in Spanish arhitecture) his work is often thought of as impressive far beyond the scope of modernism. At the beginning of…

Jim Pollock

One of the best parts about being a Phish fan is collecting the art work on each tour. Every shirt, poster, hat, and sticker that you pick up along the way brings you back to the tour and reminds you of all the fun you had. Some of the most rare and treasured pieces of Phish memorabilia you can get are those made by world renowned artist Jim Pollock. In the late 1980’s, Jim made a couple of fliers for Phish during…

Melvin Seals & JGB (Jerry Garcia Band)

Wednesday night a few friends and I headed down to the Brooklyn Bowl to check out Melvin Seals & the JGB (Jerry Garcia Band). 

Being an obsessive self proclaimed aficionado of all things Jerry Garcia, I was extremely excited because this was the first time I had the opportunity to check out the “Keepers of the Flame”.  Previously knowing only of Melvin’s work with the JGB since 1980, and next to nothing about the other…

Jerry Garcia

On Sunday (August 1st), fans, friends, and family celebrated what would have been the 68th birthday of Grateful Dead front man Jerry Garcia.  At 53 years old, Jerry departed this world as the result of a heart attack on August 9th 1995.  He had been struggling with heroin addiction and constant health issues springing from his diabetes and weight problems in the months preceeding his death.  Jerry Garcia’s music, personality…

Gathering of the Vibes

Each summer at the end of July, east coast festival goers return to Bridgeport Connecticut’s Seaside Park for Gathering of the Vibes. The festival itself was born out of Jerry Garcia’s death in 1996 as a forum for the Grateful Dead community to come together for a weekend of spiritual renewal and to celebrate the life of their beloved front man. Although the Vibes has taken place in other venues across the east coast…

Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson, or Dr. Thompson as he often called himself; was many things. A renaissance man, a revolutionary, a doctor of journalism, a democratic political affiliate, an insubordinate member of the U.S. Army, an honorary hells angel, a fire arms enthusiast, an open drug taker (especially alcohol and hallucinogens) and “one ornery sonofabitch”, says long time friend, and financier of Thompson’s funeral Johnny…

The McLovins

If your eyes or ears have been anywhere near the Jam Band scene in the last year or so, chances are you’ve already been stunned, dazzled, amazed, and rocked by the incredibly young and refreshing sound of The McLovin’s. Hailing from Connecticut, the trio comprised of drummer Jake Huffman (Drum Lovin’), guitarist Jeff Howard (Ax Lovin’), and bassist Jason Ott (Bass Lovin’) has come on to the Jam Band scene like a tidal…


Takashi Murakami /

Takashi Murakami

One of today’s most influential and talked about contemporary artists is Takashi Muramaki. Muramaki’s work pushes the envelope, and blurs the lines between high and low art, creating a very controversial stylistic concept. He studied Art at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, where he became increasingly interested in mixing 19th century Eastern and Western art forms. Amidst his studies, he became…


Banksy /

Banksy

One of today’s most underappreciated art forms is Graffiti. Graffiti is art with some spunk and a purpose. Since painting graffiti on public buildings is considered an act of anti-establishment and vandalism, many of the great graffiti artists have to take great precautionary measures to keep their identities a secret, and remain pseudo-anonymous. Perhaps the most popular and well regarded of these masters of disguise…
