I was asked to shoot an event for the New York City Coalition Against Hunger this past Saturday evening. The event was a VIP screening for the film “A Place at the Table” and a panel discussion after. The panel consisted of Celebrity Chef/Executive Producer Tom Colicchio, Directors Kristi Jacobson & Lori Silverbush and Leading Hunger Advocate, Joel Berg. The event ran a total of 2 hrs and the discussion went really well. I hope that you will check this film out as it really digs deep into the hunger issue we have here in America.

Post Sandy Snowstorm
About a week after Hurricane Sandy devastated New York City and New Jersey a nor’easter hit the region. I ventured out to the park to grab a few shots being very careful of where I walked and setup. There were a lot of trees that already took major damage from the hurricane and I was certain any trees weakened by Sandy would surely be a danger during this storm. I set up a few shots and stayed out for an hour or so. Just as I packed up a 90 foot widow-maker dropped with a thunderous cracking and deafening thud as it hit the ground. It fell only about 100-150 feet from me. I’m glad that I was cautious about picking my spot to setup! Here are 2 resulting shots from that night. I hope you enjoy them.

Winter Storm Nemo
Here is a few shots that I took in the early hours of Saturday morning. These were taken in Brooklyn around 3am on February 9th 2013 during the Winter Storm Nemo. I geared up and headed out around 2:30am to check out the winter wonderland. This was about 1/2 way through the storm and there was about 5″ of snow at this point. I stayed up till 5am, but nothing really changed as far as accumulation so I called it a night. We ended up with around 8 inches–half of what they initially thought we would get.

My wife and I were looking for a way that we could physically help out the victims of Hurricane Sandy. After much searching I came across a non-profit group called Team Rubicon. Team Rubicon unites the skills and experiences of military veterans with medical professionals to rapidly deploy emergency response teams into crisis situations. I can say it was an honor to work along side such great men and women this Veterans Day Weekend. TR is doing great things and I look forward to working with them again in the near future. Please stop by teamrubiconusa.orgfor more information on the group and how you can help.
My Cousin in Boston is putting a donation drive together for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Please, if you have the resources or things you may not need that will help change the lives of those individuals affected by the storm-give what you can. I have seen what its like there 1st hand and I can tell you – these people need help! Please share this on your wall, tweet it, tumble it stumble it, spread the word if you are or know people in the Boston area that can help make this event a huge success!
Please visit his event page here. Feel free to hit me up with any q&a and I will do my best to answer.

So, @Canon fixed my camera. Much to my surprise, they replaced it with a refurbished S95. The complete kit! Woohoo! An extra battery and charger! I wish I had known what the actual damage was specifically, but what can you do. I was so concerned about reinvesting my WP-DC35, but again to my surprise – it fits the S95!!!! It would have been nice to discover this knowledge prior. The only thing that I see being an issue is that the mode dial is too small to change the mode on the camera. I think this can be easily fixed with a DIY. I’ll just need to figure out how to thicken the wheel. Perhaps a larger o-ring or something. I’ll let you know….

Note to Self… [whoops]
You should remove your strap on your S90 before placing it inside the WP-DC35 underwater housing. Granted I have used this many times before, but for whatever reason I failed to do it this weekend. As a result, I noticed my camera sink to the bottom of the pool. I retrieved it with a bit of worry as it’s not suppose to sink. Once I pulled it up, the case was half filled with water. Ugh! So, I immediately removed the battery and let the camera air dry out. I placed it in a tub of rice last night and we’ll see what happens. In a few days I’ll either be overwhelmed that the camera made it out alive or I’ll be shopping for a replacement S95 or S100. This would mean that I will have my WP-DC35 for sale as a result. I checked the case after the incident and it is watertight.
Update: 7-6-12
I just put the battery in and I received no response from the camera. I’ll have to see what the people at canon say about the probability of it being repaired. Ugh!
