Update #6: Slow and steady wins the race
Posted on March 11, 2010
I sometimes repeat this mantra on long runs in Central Park. It is what came to mind today as I scanned in the last batch of negatives for the book.
I apologize for not keeping it more on schedule and anyone who knows me will tell you that I am always on time.
I now have two full days a week (with baby boy in daycare) to finish up this project.
Backstage black & whites, poetic street scenes, and memorable performances are just some of the gems I dusted off today.
Thanks for sticking with me.

I've been living in New York City since 1997. I picked up a camera while attending high school in Warner Robins, GA. My senior year I moved back to my hometown Chattanooga, TN and started photographing the struggling little music scene happening there. I went to UMASS Amherst because the Modern Lovers and the Pixies sang praises about that area. A year abroad in Norwich, England exposed me to jungle music and photographing concerts for the local paper. The day after graduation I moved to NYC where I quickly lost all my money to an illegal sublet. I stayed on my feet developed photos at a rinky dink shop on the lower eastside until good fortune sway my direction and I landed a job in the art & photo dept. of Men's Journal Magazine. I lasted a year then set off with my camera and started assisting other photographers. Two years later I got my first assignment..that was over 10 years ago.
Some other projects of mine have been about, Young Race Car Drivers and Summer Camps. I shoot commercially for magazines and record labels. I live in Hell's Kitchen with my amazing husband Corey Henderson and incredible son Nigel.
