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.

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“.

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.
This photo was made during a wedding ceremony. Shallow depth of field has been used to emphasize the necklace.

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!

A few favorites from Amanda and Alex’s portrait session today:



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.

A few photos from the New York City Marathon yesterday. The weather was perfect! After the finish line, runners received a distinctive blanket to keep warm.

Robyn and Sean were fortunate to have beautiful weather for their wedding. They got ready at the Bentley Inn, a 19th century bed and breakfast in Bay Head, NJ. We walked to the beach nearby for a few portraits. The ceremony was at the River House in Brielle, NJ. A few favorite photos:

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.
