The Cranes and Me

By Jon Roemer On 2 Nov ’11 · 1 Comment

On location Wednesday morning to continue a construction progress project. I had three cameras running – two on autopilot shooting time lapse and one, manned by me, for candid shots and other angles.

His sister, Dorene Prinzo, worked to keep his memory alive within her family. Unbeknownst to her a classmate of Roy’s, James [...]

Student Voices – Legal Methods

By Jon Roemer On 15 Sep ’11 · Leave a Comment

I am very proud of this piece. Its short length does not begin to convey the amount of work which went into it. It was created for Columbia Law School as a fundraising video to kick off their Annual Fund.

Production was done by the Law School’s Office of Communication and Public Affairs (thanks Libby & Michele!) [...]

1995

By Jon Roemer On 10 Sep ’11 · Leave a Comment

In 1995 I started a project documenting areas around Manhattan. I concentrated on New Jersey and Staten Island but more particularly on places that still had a tie back to Manhattan – either through line of sight or via some of the iconic bridges leading to it.

Looking at the images now, ten years after [...]

Goodnight Irene

By Jon Roemer On 30 Aug ’11 · Leave a Comment

A look at hurricane Irene as its eye passed and shortly after. When the storm cleared on Sunday there were fantastic clouds, 3-4-5 layers deep, each moving in different directions.

Manhattan from Weehawken

By Jon Roemer On 22 Aug ’11 · Leave a Comment

A week ago today, coming out of the Lincoln Tunnel and up onto the helix. We had just hit the 14-hour mark but the view back to Manhattan was too stunning not to stop and haul out the equipment yet again.

The noir version:

Stormy Weather

By Jon Roemer On 20 Aug ’11 · Leave a Comment

For anyone in the northeast lately the weather has been biblical. Torrential downpours, wind, and hail. Thunder morning, noon, and night.

We ventured out on Thursday evening to watch one massive cell passing to the southeast.

Wait Wait… We’re Home

By Jon Roemer On 11 Jul ’11 · Leave a Comment

We’re back from Maine after a long drive with stops in Bowdoinham, ME for lunch and the always reliable Rein’s in Vernon, CT for dinner. My kids are usually plugged into their iPods for much of the trip but a chance listening to Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me led to a [...]
