Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, filled with ghost stories, spooky cartoons, and mischievous adventures with my brother. In high school, we'd cause harmless chaos, and in college, Halloween parties became legendary moments I'll never forget.

As I got older, my passion for Halloween only grew. Living in NYC, I love how the city transforms—decorations everywhere, bars embracing the spooky spirit, and the crisp fall air setting the perfect mood. One year, my friend and I attended the Halloween parade, but instead of braving the crowded streets, we found the real energy a block away. I started photographing these moments in 2006, capturing the essence of Halloween in NYC.

These pictures are from my coffee table book titled Halloween NYC 2006-2013, and I'm also selling prints from my online gallery. The images in my book are a celebration of incredible memories and the vibrant, gritty energy of Halloween. These photos let me relive the magic, and I’m excited to share them with fellow enthusiasts. Happy Halloween!

This is just a fraction of what's in the book, which has over 150 pages of Halloween pictures.

    Leatherface in NYC, holding hands with his wife. It's the small detail that makes the shot—showing what Leatherface might do in his off time. Without it, the picture wouldn’t have the same impact.
