If I had to name the piece of work that I am most proud of from my time at Columbia, I would tell you without a doubt that it was “Truth to Power.” Actually, hypotheticals aside, “Truth to Power” is my proudest moment from my time at Columbia. My partner, Evan Wexler and I, were [...]

Coney Island to Times Square in 60 seconds
February 2nd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Brooklyn, Humor, Journalism, Manhattan, Multimedia
My assignment was to travel from Coney Island to Times Square, document it and produce a 60-second clip of the journey. I hadn’t been to Coney Island, so I was excited for the opportunity to see that part of the city. It’s a place that is both eerie and wholly intriguing. Now that it’s winter [...]

My partner Alex and I produced a story package that involved text, video and audio slideshow components about the pest control [...]

My buddy Fred Dreier reached out to me after hooking up with Competitor Magazine offering for us to film the ING New York City Marathon for them. It was a long day, but it was really incredible seeing 40,000 runners and what felt like all of New York cheering them on. I handled the filming, [...]

Feline agility. Yes, it is a real sport
October 19th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Journalism, Manhattan, Multimedia
[blip.tv ?posts_id=2757528&dest=-1] One of the few things you can get my whole family to agree to watch on TV is dog agility competitions. The animals are trained to quickly pass through a series of obstacles at their owner’s command. Apparently, people run their cats through obstacle courses as well. Apparently, its a growing sport. Apparently, [...]

October 11th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Manhattan, Multimedia, Upper West Side
[blip.tv ?posts_id=2728221&dest=-1] On Saturday, my buddy Matt and I went out and covered the Broadway Bomb, an unsanctioned longboard race that ran from 116th Street and Broadway all the way down to 10th Street in lower Manhattan. Call it what you want: illegal, underground, grassroots, it was pretty incredible to see. In all, I think [...]
