Top of the Rock. Epic views of the city on a sunny day.

Bethesda Fountain, Central Park. Cloudy day.

Met these guys while hanging outside down in SOHO. Although I don’t smoke, we became friends on Instagram.

More random shots from around the city … you can see more on our family blog here: croftsfamilyblog.com

Fer introduced himself as someone who wants to be known as a good father, a good friend, and a good photographer–in that order. He had my attention the rest of the day.

I have admired Fer’s work for a while, I now admire Fer the guy.

Fer has an incredible ability to see light and to love people–it’s authentic, and it’s represented in all his work; you can see the connection. Very impressive.

I was able to grab a few shots from the workshop–mostly from the side of or hovering over Fer as he set-up the shot. The more important purpose that day was to watch & listen–to learn Fer’s approach and to leave inspired. Mission accomplished.

Light, composition, and a moment – even in a parking garage or mud puddle.

This past week, my business trip took me to Southern California. I was able to grab a few frames after work–something I’ve been trying to do more and more of. Here’s a few from Orange County; Dana Point, Huntington Beach, and Laguna Beach.
