Good friend and fellow photographer Claudia Hehr has recently started a campaign on Indiegogo (like Kickstarter, but without the red tape and geographic restrictions) to help fund a social awareness trip to Tanzania. Claudia is hoping to raise enough money to travel to Tanzania and document the work of the non-profit group Artists For World …

LITTLE ESOP
Judy and the gang over at Little Esop have just updated their entire website, including an all new online shop!

Including …
HOW TO CUT OUT A PAPER DOLL
Fashion designer and friend Elaine Pedlar opened a papercraft boutique in DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, in case you didn’t know) earlier this summer, which she smartly dubbed Dumbelle. With the know-how from a successful career in clothing and product design for some of the world’s biggest brands, Elaine has now turned her …

CARLA RZESZEWSKI (AND HER PORTRAIT) ON EATER NY
Gotta love those Google Alerts… I received an email last night that a portrait I shot of Carla Rzeszewski, wine director at The Breslin Bar & Dining Room in Manhattan, is currently gracing the front page of Eater NY. As part of Eater’s Burger Week celebration (pretty much my favorite week of the year), those …

I had the good fortune of meeting and photographing Cody for the article a …
I.T. GUYS NEED LOVE TOO
And headshots. IT guys also need headshots. I worked on a portrait shoot for the Fully Hosted IT Automation Platform guys over at OS33 last month, and some of the shots recently began appearing on the Management page of their website. Thrilling content for you, the reader? Maybe not. Good idea for a company to …
JAKE HILL MUSIC DOT COM
I spent the better part of the past two days putting the final touches on a website and blog for good friend and heavy drinker folk singer Jake Hill, and just unleashed it onto the interwebs. Tour dates, music videos, an online shop, a soapbox for Jake to stand on, one mean crosscut saw logo, …
AS THE MUSIC DIES
Friend, graphic designer, and fellow Bushwicker Jason Tam has just unleashed his premiere line of T’s and tanks upon the masses, replete with catch phrases for the disenfranchised and references to the 1976 coming-of-age-classic The Omen, under the moniker As The Music Dies.

I recently hopped a train to Red Bank, NJ to photograph chef Adam Sobel- creator, owner, and…..driver of The Cinnamon Snail. The Cinnamon Snail is the country’s first 100% vegan food truck, currently servicing Hoboken, NJ and soon to be making the rounds in Brooklyn. An in-depth interview with Adam (and a few of the …
WILL WORK FOR FOOD
Kitchen La Bohème. The Bohemian Kitchen. It’s a vegan pure vegetarian food blog that I’ve been shooting for lately. A vegan food blog, you say? Yep. Well, Scott, are you vegan? Nope. Are you, at least, vegetarian then? Not even close. So, a carnivore taking pictures for a vegan food blog? That’s right. But why? …
IMITATION IS THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY, AND QUITE POSSIBLY THE QUICKEST PATH TO A COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT LAWSUIT
It’s been a slow week here on Pho(Blog)Graphy Island, and the natives are enjoying some much deserved R & R after last month’s beachfront property overhaul, which proved to be a massive undertaking (but now my hut has wi-fi, and a mini bar!). On days like these when the sun is high and the tide is …

Shirley & Co. over at Eubiq NY have updated their site with some new looks from their Spring 2010 collection that I recently shot for them. Follow this link to see what you should be wearing in the city come springtime (if you’re a contemporary young urban male, that is).
PHO(BLOG)GRAPHY ISLAND FACELIFT
The natives have been toiling away here on Pho(Blog)graphy Island, replacing the thatched roof of my seaside hut and making a throne for me out of palm fronds, beer cans, and coconut shells. Oh, and I began field testing a new blog design today. It’s a customized version of Minimalist 1 by Joey Robinson over …
AIRBED & BREAKFAST GREATEST HITS, VOL. 1
For the past year, I’ve been shooting residential interiors for Airbed & Breakfast, a web-based service and marketplace ‘allowing anyone from private residents to commercial properties to rent out their extra space.’ Although still a relatively new service, as of this writing Airbed & Breakfast already boasts listings in 108 countries and 2,174 cities, has …
THE BEST CAMERA (IS THE ONE THAT’S WITH YOU)
I’ve been having a good time over the past month shooting, editing, and uploading snapshots from my iPhone with an app called Best Camera. After experimenting with photo apps on the iPhone, pro photographer Chase Jarvis designed Best Camera to be, well, the best camera app available. And I have to say, he nearly got …
BE A FAN ON FACEBOOK
Just finished putting the, well, finishing touches on the 100% Official Scott Gordon Bleicher Photography Facebook Fan Page. Whew. Say that ten times fast. While juggling. Chainsaws. Blindfolded. Luckily for you, you don’t have to be an expert daredevil sideshow performer, risking inadvertent amputation, to become a fan of my photography on Facebook. All you …
FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER
So it seems that I’ve finally jumped onto the microblogging bandwagon. I don’t know what’s next……a live streaming, real-time feed of my thoughts via USB cable coming out of my ear, posted directly to your computer monitors and smartphone screens like some ultra-personal, stream-of-consciousness infomercial? If only I could hire Billy Mays to sell me, …
LOUD OBJECTS ON FREE MUSIC ARCHIVE

WELCOME! (including a number of nautical allusions)
Welcome to the maiden voyage of the good ship Scott Gordon Bleicher Pho(blog)graphy! After much prodding from fellow photographer friends (I’m looking at YOU, Mr. Furman) and some initial hesitation by myself, I finally dip my toes into the warm, lapping waters off the coast of the blogosphere.
