5/13—Memorial Day Rowing

The North Rockland Rowing Club trains inside at West Point during the month of March. When the weather turns warm, they take to the Hudson River from Admiral’s Cove Marina in Haverstraw, NY. These hardy souls haul their boats out, row until their arms are weary, and haul them back. Most days, they are out on the water by 6AM. That’s dedication! When the river is calm, it’s looks just like glass and the rowing is sublime. Taking photos from the “catch boat” was a bit challenging but Diana, my guide, was more than willing to help me get the best angles.

High School Sports ’12–’13

With my lifelong love of sports, and combining it with photography, I took the opportunity to shoot high school sports. Challenging is the operative word. The requirements for shooting great photos of students engaged in each sport is different–from camera settings to proper location/position. Knowing the sports and anticipating the action is key. I love capturing the exertion on the faces of the athletes as they make their moves.

10/2012- The DeWester Group

On October 25, 2012, The DeWester Group held a kick-off event, Connect, Converse, and Inspire: Sharing Knowledge to Innovate Professional Development, at The Scandinavia House in NYC. 

The featured guest was Jill Greenbaum, Ed.D. and the topic was Visual Thinking. Jill discussed what Visual Thinking entails and showed examples of how it can be used to faciltate learning. The participants joined in and used the desks and the walls to practice the skills that were taught.

8/2012—Fabulous Felted Bowls

Seventeen folks had a fantastic time at the American Folk Art Museum in New York City–getting wet and creating something beautiful! With roving, water, olive oil soap, balloons, bubble wrap, paper, plates, rubber bands, and table cloths, and all within a 90 minute timeframe, attendees created wonderfully colorful bowls. A FUN time was had by all. 

Welcome to Pix & Grafix!

Stephen Weinstock is a photographer, a graphic designer, and an image manipulator whose work ranges from sports and event photography, the design of flyers, promotional postcards, brochure covers, business cards, and newspaper advertisements, to digitally scanned illustrated elements to create templates for graphic facilitation and visual coaching.

After volunteering to take over the yearbook at Pompton Lakes HS in 1993, he brought it kicking and screaming into the 21st Century by learning and utilizing PageMaker and, ultimately, InDesign. In 2000, the yearbook publishing company sent 200 extra yearbooks of "In One Era and Out the Next" to high schools across the United States as an example of "creative yearbooking." He was one of the first yearbook advisers in the country to be offered the opportunity to make the school's yearbook in full color! That took the yearbook to a whole new level. 

These are some of the sports, events and designs he's done over the last few years.

Steve can't wait to see what other incredible events and projects are on the horizon.
