New iPhone Landscapes

Monday January 05th 2009, 1:36 am
Filed under: Landscape

I had some fun with the little camera in the iPhone! These landscapes originate as simple photos of trees. I processed them using Camera Bag, an iPhone App, and then assembled four versions in Photoshop into something like Rorschach inkblots. Each 6×8″ print is thus an assemblage of four 3×4″ images.

iPhone Landscape 2009-03

To acquire signed and numbered original prints of the above, please click on this link and enter passcode: iphone2009. The total image area of 6×8″ is printed onto 8 1/2 x 11″ fine art paper using archival inks. Each landscape is limited to an edition of 20 prints. The introductory price is $50 per print ($75 after 4/4/09), plus shipping and sales tax if applicable. (Sizes are in inches).

Best wishes for the New Year!

Wednesday December 31st 2008, 2:51 am
Filed under: News

I want to wish everyone a happy New Year!

I’ve been so busy between my work and the holidays that I haven’t had time to post much. I have made a few tweaks to the blog. Each post now has an “Email to a friend” link at the bottom. And there is now a “Most Emailed” posts section on the right. The blog is now automatically formatted for the iPhone when viewed on an iPhone (thanks to WPtouch). And finally, I’ve added a link to some gear and books on Amazon.com; it’s called “Zlatko recommends“.

WordPress keeps getting better

Filed under: Technique

I’ve just upgraded to the latest version of WordPress and wow … it’s better than ever! The administrative side is much more elegant. WordPress is the free blogging software used by Martha Stewart, Larry King, Anderson Cooper, Nancy Pelosi, People Magazine, the Ford Motor Company and more than a few photographers.

A Bar Mitzvah Celebration

Filed under: B'nai Mitzvah

For Max’s Bar Mitzvah, we started with portraits at Temple Beth Or in Washington Township.

After the service, I photographed a luncheon at the Saddle River Inn in Saddle River, NJ.  First, a few photos of the setting before the guests arrived:

A mentalist bent a spoon using his magical powers…

… and this cool hawk stopped by on the roof.

I’ll post some photos from the great party at Space Odyssey USA soon!

Invitation to a Live Band Showcase (Nov. 19th)

Thursday November 06th 2008, 3:49 pm
Filed under: Vendors, Weddings

There’s no better way to choose a band for your wedding than by hearing them live. I’m excited to be attending Ariel Entertainment’s free live band showcase on November 19th. My clients and potential clients are invited to attend. I’ll be there as a vendor to show my portfolio and maybe make some portraits.

Ariel’s awesome bass player, Francisco Centeno, is a neighbor in my town. He currently plays bass in Hairspray on Broadway. He’s toured with Aretha Franklin and Bette Midler, and recorded with Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight and Whitney Houston. Francisco plays bass in this video of Bruce Springsteen on the Late Show with David Letterman. Check out Ariel’s web site and musicians at this link.

The showcase will be on Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 at:

Assembly East Hill, 597 Piermont Road, Closter, NJ 07624
8pm: Doors Open - Refreshments Provided
8:30pm: Band Performance

RSVP by phone at 800-233-2623 or by email to: register@arielentertainment.com. Please send me an email too if you plan to attend. I look forward to seeing you there!

In Central Park

Filed under: Weddings

New York’s Central Park is a wonderful setting for photos. After their ceremony, Melissa and Armando took an extended walk through the park.

Throughout the park, there are reminders of scenes from movies and magazines. In March of this year, Annie Leibovitz photographed Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Noth at the Bethesda Terrace stairs for a Vogue feature on the Sex and the City movie.

We stopped for photos by the Lake, where The San Remo apartments dominate the Central Park West skyline.
