Goldman Goldhall

By Jon Roemer On 27 Apr ’10 · Leave a Comment

Goldman Sachs is in the news. Executives are on capital hill today to testify to whether they led investors astray by playing both sides of fence, aggressively selling mortgage derivative products while betting against them at the same time.

I photographed E. Gerald Corrigan, a Goldman Sachs partner and managing director, at the corporate headquarters [...]

Canon 24mm f/1.4L II & 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II Lenses

By Jon Roemer On 20 Apr ’10 · Leave a Comment

As I continue to shoot with both of these lenses neither disappoints. Neither has needed an AF microadjustment and both lock focus quickly and accurately.

I first mentioned the Canon 24mm f/2.8L II and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II in the KGB post last week. A few days after the [...]

Et tu, iPad?

By Jon Roemer On 20 Apr ’10 · 2 Comments

For the moment I’m watching the iPad from afar. Already the owner of an iPhone and a laptop, the iPad is not jumping out at me as a necessity. You can’t tether to it when shooting without a laptop or a computer in the middle, so no benefit there. You can do what you can [...]

Life Imitates 70′s Van Art

By Jon Roemer On 19 Apr ’10 · 2 Comments

This is a current photo of the volcano which is wreaking havoc with Europe’s air travel.

It seems a perfect backdrop for a groovy airbrushed mural on a 70′s van. Just add a dinosaur, an ice-age cave man and cave lady (in a fur bikini), a dragon, a Norse god and goddess, a [...]

Undercover at the KGB Bar

By Jon Roemer On 15 Apr ’10 · 1 Comment

A week ago Friday I was at the KGB Bar on East 4th in NYC to photograph writers reading from their works. The light in the bar was as low as low can get. Not wanting to disturb the activity with a flash, I had the bartender turn all the fixtures up full. This provided [...]

80 Acres and Some Art

By Jon Roemer On 8 Apr ’10 · 2 Comments

There is a profile of artist Butch Anthony in today’s New York Times. It’s an interesting piece – Anthony has walked his own path creating art and bringing others along for the ride. It may be the first tale of an anthropomorphic turnip launching not one but three art careers.

The NYT has [...]

Lookin’ Up

By Jon Roemer On 5 Apr ’10 · Leave a Comment

For one assignment in NYC last week, it took three hours to get in (from 50 mi. away and not at rush hour). On days when that does not happen, the scenario is often killing an hour or two, finding a place to chill with the equipment for a while.

Proof that there are views [...]
