• Rather Long Cape Cod Gallery

    The outer cape (wellfleet, truro and provincetown) has a certain romantic majesty that for me never seems to fade. This may have something to do with the occasional day dream I have of working as a lowly deck hand aboard an 18th century whaling ship. I’ve made the trek out to Truro countless times over the better part of the the past decade to visit Tasha’s (my wife’s) family and each time I come away feeling humbled for having the privilege of experiencing such a monumentally magical land (and sea) scape. so here’s a rather long gallery featuring eighty photos from my latest trip which took place this past late August/ early September.

  • Two Creepy Kids in the Woods

    Last month while visiting the in-laws, my wildly creative artist mother in law Deb Mell and I collaborated on some photos of her two grandchildren (and my niece and nephew) Zara (4) and Beckett (4 months). Earlier in the summer we had all visited D.C. and popped into a handful of museums including the Hirshhorn. At some point Deb and I found ourselves strolling silently through a photo gallery more or less unimpressed until our gazes became simultaneously fixed upon a single image of a harshly lit lone figure standing in the woods. It was delightfully creepy and I was not surprised when she asked if when I visited next we’d subject Zara and Beckett to a similar sitting. So here it is. Two creepy kids in the woods.

  • KABOOM!!!

    My dear friend Chrissy came on by last night for a drink or two but let on she couldn’t stay as she had to wake up early the next morning to attend an implosion. I’ve heard a lot of early exit excuses, but none have ever piqued my interest quite as much. She explained that a 16-story uninhabited high rise apartment building in the Germantown section of Philadelphia was due to be razed at 7:15 am by the Philadelphia Housing Authority and as she’s in the archaeological preservation business she would be attending with some co-workers. Naturally I jumped on board. I woke at 6 am the following morning and headed on out to the site which was about twenty minutes from my apartment. When I got there, I discovered a wide radius surrounding the building had been closed off by the police. I played it cool and parked a few blocks away. I gathered my gear and proceeded on foot. When I reached the main blockade I was told I could not enter as I did not have a proper pass or hard hat. I miss my days as a credentialed member of the Philadelphia Press. It was early and I was feeling fearless so I decided to head down a street that ran parallel to the viewing  area and cut through a yard that led to a wide open expanse with a clear view of the spectacle to come. The press at this point was already set up and not wanting to ruffle any feathers I found a spot behind a cameraman slightly shorter than I. (always a good tactic when you’re the last man on the scene) It was now 7:10am. Made it with five minutes to spare. I quickly noticed everyone else had ear plugs and masks. This worried me a bit as I had neither. I figured I’ve done enough damaged to my ear drums over the years and only concerned myself with the dust cloud that could potentially come floating my way.  But with no time to deal I just hoped the wind would shift and begin to blow in the opposite direction. The countdown began roughly at 7:15. As the PHA employees depressed the symbolic t-bar that supposedly set off the charges nothing happened for about 5 second then an incredible booming started echoing throughout the corridor. Moments later a plume of smoke began to rise from beneath the building and it started to dip at the corner which led to a massive and rapid crumbling. All in it took only about 10-15 seconds for the entire structure to fall. Pretty impressive.

  • Forbidden Trail/ Devil’s Pool/ Wissahickon Creek

    Natasha and I went wandering through the Forbidden Trail along the Wissahickon Creek the other day. We climbed steep slippery slopes (stairs provided to aid hikers), encountered threatening wildlife (some dog playing in the water) and forded the deep rushing whitewater river (wading up to our ankles to cross back to the side of the creek our car was on) All in all a lovely wander.

  • A Bugs Feast

    I stumbled upon some bugs (moths, beetles, butterflies and i think a wasp) binging on a buffet of some gnarly rotten fruit during a stroll along the delaware river in south philly. it was all things gross and beautiful. wish i had a macro lens but honestly didn’t want to get too much closer. it smelled much worse than it looked.

  • Peace Rock

    I Spent the day at Peace Rock in Hamburg, PA with a lovely group of friends. I didn’t want to bring out the top level gear as I knew I’d be swimming most of the time and leaving thousand’s of dollars of camera equipment on the sandy shores while I swam around seemed unsettling. So I decided to dust off the trusty ol’ 7D and I’m quite happy I did. Been relying on the 5D MK III for quite some time but sometimes you need the high frame rate to catch all the craziness that unfolds around you. It was 40 feet from the top of the rock to the river below and despite having jumped 15+ times this old dude put me to shame with this one rad dive. Well done sir. I will never have the guts to join your ranks.
    I loaded up the photos into iMovie and put this little clip together. Sound effects added for your viewing pleasure.

  • Life Cycle of A Black Swallowtail Butterfly

    I have an amazing backyard with an amazing garden which I love. I spend lots of time back there planting, pruning and perfecting. So when I noticed a horde of caterpillars decimating my dill and fennel plants I had to take action. A friend who was over pointed out that these fat little green goobers were black swallowtail butterflies. So I decided to keep them. I put together a fern leaf dill filled terrarium and transported them with the intention of building a bigger enclosure for them after I returned from being away over the weekend. However, when I got back they had already sealed themselves into their Chrysalis. I decided to leave them as is and waited for the transformation to finish. When I walked out to check on them this morning two fully formed beautiful black swallowtails had emerged and were waiting for release. Needless to say I was thrilled my little science experiment came to fruition.

    This poor lady’s ( i think it’s a female) wings didn’t develop properly. I did some research and there’s no way she’d survive outside. Luckily I have a variety of terrariums perfect for butterflies throughout my apartment. I added some banana and sugar water for food and branches for her to perch.

  • Interview with Portrait Professional

    Check out my interview with Portrait Professional.  And check out the Japanese version of the email they sent out.
    Part 1
    Part 2

    Just as we’ve found that there are many routes into a career in photography, and it’s not necessary to formally study photography; there are many people who do decide to take a photography degree, and there are many careers open to those who wish to make photography their career. Philadelphia based photographer Jared Gruenwald is one of those who chose to specialize in photography.
    He told us how he landed some aspirational jobs shooting professional tennis, and what it’s like to be a working photographer in the fifth largest city in the US.
    With the City of Brotherly Love as a beautiful, and vibrant backdrop, Jared finds the time to explore it and shoot some wonderful street photography too.
    Jared has been a long term user of PortraitPro, and we love his work, so we were very happy that he agreed to tell us his story so far.

    Christina Gesualdi

    PortraitPro: Did you study photography at university?
    Jared Gruenwald: I did. I have a degree in journalism with a specific concentration in photography for the mass media from Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
    PortraitPro: How did you get started in the world of editorial and documentary photography?
    Jared Gruenwald: My high school had a wonderful photography department complete with an arsenal of Pentax K1000’s, an unlimited film and paper supply, and access to a darkroom whenever I had free time. This freedom allowed me to fully invest all my creative efforts into my photographic endeavors. I started shooting anyone and everyone as well as everything around me and began to develop a style that lent well to documentary work. I enrolled at Temple University with the initial intention of studying biology, zoology, or some other ology but realized pretty early on it wasn’t for me. This may have had something to do with discovering Temple’s darkroom and photojournalism major. Without a whole lot of hesitation I switched over and haven’t looked back.
    Of course as I was completing my major degree requirements the newspaper world was disintegrating and everyone around me was telling me to bail, as I wouldn’t have a future in the industry. But as luck would have it I landed a full time staff position shooting for a paper in Philly a few months after graduating. That just goes to show, follow your heart, passions, dreams and goals and blow off those who try to squash all that.
    PortraitPro: What is the most interesting thing you can tell us about your work?
    Jared Gruenwald: No one else can do exactly what I do. Just as I can’t do exactly what anyone else does. That’s what I love and find most interesting about any creative field; Varied interpretations.
    PortraitPro: What inspires you to do what you do?
    Jared Gruenwald: Oh, the standard cliché that my surroundings inspire me. But that’s as honest an answer as I can give. I live in the same world as everyone else but I also live in my own little world and I feel my inspiration comes from the melding of the two and the photos I create represent that. I don’t really know what others see when they look upon the same scene as me just as they don’t know what I see. I want to show them what I see then we can discuss, compare and contrast. That conversation is what inspires me.
    PortraitPro: You seem to have a variety of photography related jobs. Are these concurrent? Could you tell us about the demands of working for multiple outlets concurrently? Does it get hard to balance deadlines for a variety of employers?
    Jared Gruenwald: I’ve never really been one to limit what I do creatively. I like to keep challenging myself. If I only shoot tennis I’ll be the best at shooting tennis but when it comes to portraiture or street work I may be inadequate. Obviously one could argue “well why not master one field instead of simply being competent in many?” Well I’ve met dozens of veteran photographers who did just that and after decades working in only one field often express regret.
    It can be demanding working numerous concurrent jobs, but you simply keep to a schedule and mark everything down on a calendar and it all works out. It can be quite stressful though when you have a day that begins at 7 and ends at 7 and you have four or five different jobs within that span.
    Working for a newspaper early on in my career really prepared me for this though as there would be days when I’d have 5 assignments and there was no excuse for missing any of them. I’m lucky enough to have a fairly flexible schedule so it’s not terribly difficult to make it all work. I also take on a variety of non-photo related jobs like teaching terrarium classes because sometimes it helps to take a step back and try something completely different.

    PortraitPro: How did you get in to the pro tennis circuit?
    Jared Gruenwald: I was living in Brooklyn at the time. It was late August 2009 and the city was sweltering. I was dead broke, couldn’t find much work as the recession was in full swing and as everyone knows you can’t throw a rock in any direction without hitting a pro photographer in NYC. The whole small fish BIG pond thing was a serious reality.
    I was at the end of a long day scouring the Internet for jobs. Photo jobs, cleaning jobs, cooking jobs, any job… and I see an ad on craigslist asking for a photographer with sports experience that owns pro equipment and speaks French. Well I met two of the three requirements (which do you feel I fell short on?) and decided to respond. I wrote a pretty lengthy cover letter, included my resume and a link to my website.

    Not too long after I received a phone call from a stranger inquiring about a craigslist ad I responded to. The voice on the other end asked me a variety of questions about my background shooting sports and after a while I interrupted and asked “Wait, is this a job to photograph the US Open?” (the tennis one not golf. I actually worked as a gopher for the Star Ledger [a New Jersey] newspaper, sports photo team during the Golf US Open a few years prior).
    The voice on the other end confirmed my assumptions and after chatting a bit more I was hired. After our three weeks together shooting the 2009 US Open Tennis Tournament came to an end, the man who hired me nonchalantly asked: “So do you have a passport?” and thus I ended up as a mainstay on the pro tennis tour for the next three years. And what an amazing three years it was.

    Interview with a Pro –Jared Gruenwald– Part 2

    Here’s the second half of our interview with Philadelphia based photographer Jared Gruenwald.
    Living and working in the often photographed, historical city of Philadelphia provides Jared with some great opportunities for work, and he agreed to share some more of his story with us this week.
    kelly drive floodPortraitPro: Philadelphia is a beautiful and vibrant city in which to live; does the city inspire your street art work?
    Jared Gruenwald: Philadelphia is such an incredibly underrated, forgotten yet vibrant city, full of so much life that it can inspire anyone. I love living here. I truly feel it’s a city where you can make your dreams a reality. It sounds corny and clichéd but I’m doing it right now and so are handfuls of other creative, ambitious people I meet everyday.
    One aspect that I feel really lends itself to street photography is the landscape and geography. Philadelphia’s smaller physical stature creates neighborhoods and communities that are insular yet remain close to the cutting edge. Witnessing this disparity is kind of mind blowing and beautiful and makes it hard to put the camera down.
    PortraitPro: Is Philadelphia a good location to be based in which to get new work?
    Jared Gruenwald: Well this is complicated. While New York is a city full of small fish in a big pond, Philadelphia is full of big fish in a small pond. There are so many talented photographers here but not as many jobs. You have to be willing to travel. Mobility I think is key here. The other side of it though is cost of living expenses are much cheaper here than New York, which is only 90 miles away so you can work in NYC and commute which can prove to be quite fruitful.
    lynchburg garagePortraitPro: Do you consider yourself to be successful? If so what do you think is the reason for your success?
    Jared Gruenwald: Sure. I’m not rolling in money nor am I a household name but I’m still carving out my niche and continue to develop and improve as a photographer. To me this defines success. As long as I’m not stagnant and continue to grow creatively then I feel successful.
    PortraitPro: How do you market yourself? What strategies work best for you in obtaining paid work?
    Jared Gruenwald: The Internet is an unforgiving void. Obviously I maintain a current website and blog and I use digital marketing tools but I honestly feel I get most of my paid work through first person encounters. It’s much easier to write a potential client or employee off when you don’t actually have the opportunity to meet them in person. A valuable tool I find is setting up personal meetings. Nothing beats being able to shake someone’s hand, look into someone’s eyes, hear someone’s voice, feel their passion. You don’t get that digitally.
    PortraitPro: How much of your time is spent in photo editing?
    Jared Gruenwald: It depends upon my subject matter. I probably spend most of my time editing portraits. When I’m producing a portrait I’m trying to control every aspect of the shot and take more a creative license with the editing process. I’ll often edit more than one version of each photo, which can be very time consuming. When I’m working on a documentary project my editing becomes much less technical.
    PortraitPro: How useful do you find PortraitPro in your work?
    Jared Gruenwald: With my background in documentary/sports/street work I never put too much stock in all the crazy Photoshop skills some photographers incorporate into their work. It’s incredible but not really my style. I generally stick with the standard ethical journalistic editing methods when it comes to Photoshop which dictate not using any tools you wouldn’t find standing in front of an enlarger in a darkroom. That being said, some commercial portrait photography jobs I get require a bit more. PortraitProfessional has proven to be an invaluable tool in helping me realize the perfect final image. It’s such a great tool and is an incredibly helpful addition to any portrait photographer’s workflow.
    PortraitPro: How do you balance doing work that pays with doing work that inspires and excites you?
    Jared Gruenwald: Well as long as it’s photography and I’m not serving up fast food, I’m inspired and excited. Just because the work may not be as large scale as Wimbledon or as interesting as people living off the grid in a small tent city down by a river that doesn’t mean the clients expectations are any lesser. I treat every job, whether it’s self-assigned or I was hired the same. I’m just happy and thankful that I get to do what I love.
    PortraitPro: Where can we see more of your work?
    Jared Gruenwald: You can see more of my work on my website and on my blog I was recently also in a gallery show in Philadelphia. The Gallery is called Destination Frankford.

    グルエンワルド氏は長年のPortraitPro ユーザーですので、今回のインタビューを引き受けて頂いたことにとても感謝しています。 
    Portrait Pro: 編集・ドキュメンタリー写真を始めたきっかけは何ですか?
    グルエンワルド氏: 私の通った高校では写真学科があり、Pentax K1000やフィルム、紙、暗室などすべて自由に使えるという素晴らしい特典がありました。
    そのおかげで自分の写真に対する意欲と創造性を養うことができました。
    その後テンプル大学に進み、生物学、動物学などを専攻しようと思いましたが、早い時点でそれは自分のやりたいことではないと気づきました。
    同じ大学で写真学科があり暗室があるということを知ったことがきっかけでした。それから迷うことなく写真を専攻し、後悔することはありませんでした。

    PPro: プロテニスの写真を撮り始めたきっかけを教えてください。
    グルエンワルド氏: 2009年の8月のことですが、自分はニューヨークのブルックリンに住んでおり、カメラマンのたんと存在するニューヨークでの仕事探しに苦労をしていました。 
    仕事をネット検索し続けた一日の終わりに、フランス語を話せてスポーツの撮影経験があり、自分の機材を持っているプロカメラマンを募集している広告が目にとまりました。 募集要項のうち2つは当てはまっていたので応募をしてみることにしました。その後知らない人から電話でスポーツ写真撮影に関することなど色々と質問をされ、「もしかしてこの仕事はUSオープンテニスの撮影ですか?」と聞いてしまいました。するとまさにその仕事で、電話でそれから少し喋っただけで仕事を依頼されてしまいました。
    USオープンテニスの撮影で3週間一緒に仕事をした相手はそのうちに、私がパスポートを持っているかと聞いてきました。それからの3年はプロテニス大会での写真撮影をするため世界中を回って仕事をしました。とても素晴らしい3年間でした。

    グルエンワルド氏: フィラデルフィアはあまり評判はありませんがとても活気のある所です。 フィラデルフィアが大好きです。
    風景と地理が街での写真をさらに良いものにします。フィラデルフィアの小さな規模のコミュニティは最先端にいつも近づいています。フィラデルフィアのこういった風景を見るとついシャッターを押してしまいます。

    PPro: 写真編集にはどれくらいの時間を費やしますか?
    グルエンワルド氏: 撮った被写体によって違いますが、多分たくさんの時間をポートレート写真編集に費やしています。ポートレート写真を作成しているときは、すべての部分にコントロールをして写真編集を創造的に仕上げます。写真はなるだけたくさん同じ写真を撮るようにします。ドキュメンタリーの仕事のときは技術的なことは出てきません。

    PPro: ご自分の仕事でどうPortraitProをお使いですか? 
    グルエンワルド氏: ドキュメンタリー・スポーツ・街の風景の経験から、カメラマンの良く使うPhotoshopでの効果の使いすぎなどには気をつけています。暗室で登場しないツールが出てくるような」Photoshopを使わず、通常のジャーナリズム的な編集方法を選びます。ですが、広告などの写真ではもっと念入りな編集が必要とされます。 
    PortraitProは自分にとって完璧な写真とは何かを教えてくれた、価値のあるツールです。ポートレート写真を撮るカメラマンの作業にはかかせない機能のついたすばらしいツールだと言えます。
    PPro: ご自分は成功したカメラマンだと思いますか?
    グルエンワルド氏: 自分は地位名声には興味はありませんが、カメラマンとして常に腕を磨いて才能を伸ばしていこうと思っています。これが本当の成功だと言えるでしょう。常に前に進みさらに創造に努力をしていくことで自分が成功していると感じることができます。

  • Destination Frankford – Rediscover

    On May 24th I participated in a photo show at a pop up gallery in the Frankford section of Philadelphia. The temporary gallery space is called Destination Frankford and the theme of the show I contributed to was Rediscover. The opening was great and the photos alone from that day necessitate their own post which is soon to follow. Leslie Kaufmann who is at the helm of the project really is a visionary and has accomplished something quite spectacular. Please visit the Desintation Frankford website for more info. The third and final show in the series is opening tomorrow and will run through July 26. It revolves around the theme Reanimate and features work by the Philadelphia Sculptors.
    Here’s my bit
    “The idea of trying to rediscover Philadelphia, which has such a rich history, was initially stifling. I attempted to flesh out a series that explored the physical change that the city is currently undergoing. It’s hard not to notice all the new condo developments popping up overnight like weeds in the summer time. What I ended up focusing on was not change but the ordinary surroundings in which I weave through on a daily basis. I focused on the often-ignored scenery that I pass by on my way to work, the store, bike riding and so on. I brought that backdrop to the forefront and at each location found a piece of scrap wood that I would use to present my image on. This not only allows for a visual representation of where I’ve been but a physical one as well. I ended up discovering the weird yet pedestrian environment I generally ignore and used gave new life to what would most likely end up as rotting garbage. ”
    Check out the images below, before they’ve been transferred and the final product. The transfers don’t photograph too well but look killer in person. I printed them 11″ x 17″ and cut the wood i found down to fit.
