Highlighting the grandiosity, history, uniqueness and (at times) absurdity of the Yankees' new home

Our assignment was to head up to the Cloisters and shoot pics. The intention, clearly, was to see how different students document the same environment.

Our assignment was to shoot a portrait in one's environment, a shot that tells more of a story than a headshot against a blurred background.

Our assignment was to photograph a planned event, and I chose the Oscars viewing party at Soldier McGee. A planned shot of many engaged viewers never materialized, and my plan to shoot during Sean Penn's acceptance speech was marred by a fight in the bar. Thanks, losers!
