I've flown in helicopters many times above NYC, usually around the 1,000 to 1,500ft altitude, but I was lucky enough to be taken to another level the other day. On August 26th of this year, FlyNYON will be hosting 2 high altitude flights to experience an open door helicopter ride 7,500ft above New York City!

This became one of my favorite photos from my recent trip to Iceland. There are a bunch of things Iceland is known for like snow, wind, glaciers, and volcanos but you wouldn't often picture a quaint church on a grassy hill...
Read MorePhoto Of The Week 56 - Giving Your Subject A New Look - New York City
As photographers or artists, we find ourselves in a state of repetition more often then we would like to admit. For me, I often photograph a lot of Downtown Manhattan since it's easy for me to get around on my bike and I often fly over with FlyNYON. Since the Freedom Tower sticks out like a sore thumb, I'm constantly getting new perspectives on it...
Read MorePhoto Of The Week 55 - Adding Perspective To Your Photos - New York City
When flying with FlyNYON, it's relatively easy to get yourself great photos of one of the best cities in the world. It's easy to just snap around at whatever you're looking at which is mainly the breathtaking views of the New York City skyline from above. These photos typically WOW people and are unique to add to your portfolio or Instagram profile, but they usually lack the perspective aspect of this type of photography...
Read MorePhoto Of The Week 54 - All The NYC Icons In One Image - Staten Island, NY
Staten Island is known mostly for having the Staten Island Ferry which is a free ferry boat that commutes 24 hours a day, 7 days a week back and forth from Staten Island and Manhattan. It's a big tourist attraction since it's free and also has great views of downtown Manhattan and the Statue Of Liberty. For many, many years I've skated this part of the Island and especially the Staten Island Yankee Stadium which offers this view of lower Manhattan as well but I somehow never noticed how far back the view reached...

Like the title? Sounded like a rap lyrics, didn't it??? Everyone knows the best time to shoot photos is golden hour, or right when the sun is about to set. From 1,500ft in the air though it's a similar story, but on another level...

Read MorePhoto Of The Week 50 - Selective Sony Focus - New York, NY
Sony has a lot of great cameras out now from the A7 line up to the newly announced A9 coming out soon. However, they're still trying to catch up on the glass game with their competitors. I've been shooting Sony for about a year and a half and still managed to hold on to a few Canon lenses that I can't bring myself to get rid of. There are also a few lenses that Sony hasn't even made at all yet, like tilt-shift lenses. I'm still new to using tilt shift lenses but I would LOVE for Sony to make a few...

I have a top travel tip for everyone who is on the move: Whenever you're in a new place, always try to get as high as possible! (Elevation, not drugs) Being up above everything gives you a great and different perspective on where ever you are in the world...
