I was asked again to make portraits at the Professional Photographers of America New Jersey (PPANJ) Annual Holiday Party ( it is something I missed doing last year!) Nothing pleases me more than photographing friends (in this case photographers) and with Terry's help we not only captured images of everyone but were able to print them out too! The mood at Forsgate Country Club was festive and we had a line right from the start, couples, individuals, the officers of the North, Central and South Regions and many small groups such as Stacy Evans of Capri Albums and her posse, Larry D (ex-lead singer with the Grease Band, Little Anthony & the Imperials, Thea and her husband Jim (from the band THE NERDS) who sang for us and those Rising Photographic Stars Terry and Noelle. Hats off to the committee members that put this party togther, for a while there it looked like it wasn't going to happen!
Phil Fiumano is a prolific producer and cinematographer hailing from New York City. He hosts his own monthly TV show on Public Access Television for AOL Time Warner Studios. I myself have received certification as a independent Television producer/ cameraman & video editor from Staten Island Community TV (CTV). When he called me into service 6 months ago it was a natural fit that I would help out. It has been a very interesting 6 months, some of the acts we have committed to video are Deadlyz, Martyrd, Mystical Children, Rob Dukes from Exodus, Donna Dixon, It's Not Over, Destructive Stereo and Brendan Coyle and Amanda Curtis.
Actually Roger is a old friend from my years at B & H PHOTO VIDEO when I sold cameras to the likes of Lou Reed, Spike Lee, Andy Garcia, Cicely Tyson, David Schwinner, Harvey Keitel and ELLIOT ERWWITT.
