Hurricane Sandy

So remember how excited I was that my brand new studio is right off the beach? And remember how I said I worked for months and finally finished working on the studio and setting up all of my brand new equipment? And I finally had my first ad come out 2 weeks ago?
Well that was two days before the storm...and two days before the whole Far Rockaway got flooded and wrecked. The water in the studio came halfway up the walls, the closet doors are soggy, and one of my backgrounds has a very big watermark. And it doesn't say Perfect Poses. ; )  
Baruch Hashem, I was cautious enough to take out my equipment before the storm. But I didn't think the water would go very high, so although everything was on shelves, a lot of my props are waterlogged at the moment.
So that's the story folks... I have no idea how long it will take to fix it and have the place up and running again but I'll keep you posted.
Meanwhile I've been staying in Brooklyn because my own apartment has no power but I haven't been doing nothing. I got my first product photography job and although I need to invest in some better macro lenses, I'll still let you see some samples of what I did.
And hey, maybe this whole wreck was really a good thing, now that I'm starting to learn product photography....

By the way, these are the best brownies in the whole world so if anyone wants to order some, they are from The Brownie Box, (Brooklyn) 718-377-5857 Lakewood (732-367-9560)

Enjoy!
