On March 2, 1829, congress provided Block Island $5,500 to build a lighthouse on the northwest point of the island. It was built on unstable sand and gravel, so it was swept out to sea a few years later. Other lighthouses were built for the same price and even more, but there was a problem with them too. The current lighthouse is technically the 4th one built in that area. You can see sill the foundations of two of the failed lighthouses.

I'm sure the government was trying to save money by building the most cost-effective structure. But by taking the cheaper road, in the end, they had to build four lighthouses to get one that lasted.

Moral of the story. Sometimes taking the expensive option is the "cheaper" option, and if you're going to spend the time to build a lighthouse, build one with a public bathroom.. OMG, my batter was about to burst when I took that shot.

My uncle, Mac, and my aunt Emily were in their 20s when they met, and life up until that point had not been easy for either one of them. Emily lost her father at a young age, and Mac had lost his mother when he was even younger. Mac's father wasn't well, so Mac had to drop out of high school to help support his father.

Growing up, when boys typically came to the door asking for Emily, it was to join their stickball team or play another game on the streets of Brooklyn as she was the only coordinated and athletic O'Sullivan. But when Mac came asking for Emily's hand, my grandmother told him that if he were to marry her daughter, he had to have a degree first. Knowing that Emily was the one for him and didn't want to live without her, he went back to school, put himself through college, and married his Emily after he got his degree.

My father lived with them for a while; my dad loved that time when they would have dinners together, sing around an old organ, and play ping pong well into the night. Both army vets, my father, and Mac had a lot in common. Not only did Mac take over the responsibility of caring for Emily but eventually also my grandmother. Mac also got my father his Job at Marsh and Mclennan, starting his 33-year career in Insurance.

During their 59 years of marriage, they bought their first house together, played countless rounds of golf together, moved to Florida together, and now have 6 wonderful grandkids together. Mac gave everything to his family; he lived for his wife and proved definitively that he genuinely didn't want to live without his "Em."

Mac rejoined his Emily last Tuesday, January 8th, a week after my aunt Emily left this world on February 28th.

I will miss them.

While some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death, others claim that the Christian church decided to place St. Valentine's feast day on the 14th to "Christianize" the pagan fertility festival dedicated to Faunus called "Lupercalia"....

On the 15th of February, members of the Luperci, would gather at a sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf. The priests would sacrifice a goat and a dog, strip the goat's hide into strips, dip them into the sacrificial blood and take to the streets. The priests would gently slap both women and crop fields with the goat hide.

Roman women welcomed the touch of the hides because it was believed to make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city's bachelors would each choose a name and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage.

I'm going to guess that the church wasn't thrilled with this tradition because convenience stores used to put out all their Lupercalia decorations immediately after Christmas and this annoyed the priests.

Happy Lupercalia Day!

To deter poachers from killing Rhinos, animal preserves need to cut the horn off a Rhino roughly every two years. They do this because the horn is made of Keratin, the same stuff that your fingernails are made from. Poachers will shoot a Rhino and once it's on the ground, the brutal process of hacking off the horn as fast as they can begins. They don't wait for the rhino to die first, either. 

The three baby Rhinos in the video were orphaned once their mothers were killed for their horns. Many of the skulls that you can see in the video were from Rhinos that were also killed the same way. 

It costs roughly $2500 to dehorn a Rhino, and the process is paid for by donations and or volunteer trips like the ones that @wildtomorrowfund Ltakes people on a few times a year. If you're interested in one of Wild Tomorrow Funds trips or just supporting the work they do, check out their website.

Last year, I cut this video but never posted it. I shot this right after I got the iPhone 11. In my opinion, the iphone is now the handiest little camera I’ve ever had. I even call it a camera more than I call it a phone.

I remember shooting this image at a time when people were saying, "New York is over," "It's the end of big cities as we know it," "No wants to live in a densely populated city anymore.", "Be prepared; NYC is going to go back to what it was in the '70s."

It reminded me of the days after 9/11 when people said real estate in NYC would collapse because no one wanted to live here anymore. I remember a real estate agent on the news talking about how it was pointless to rebuild the World Trade Center because who would rent office space there after all that has happened.

I remember looking at the city from this vantage point, seeing all the activity, seeing all the lights, freezing my ass off (after all, it was cold), and I thought to myself. The great pandemic of 1918 killed more people in NYC than covid did, and people came back. And then I looked at One World Trade Center and thought, "yeah, I'm not too worried about NYC"

So many questions go through my head when I shoot an image like this.

Are these people a couple? Are they going to spend the rest of their lives together? Did they know this spot was here? Are they as mesmerized by the sunset as I am? What do they do? Are they happy? Are they going to look at each other in 50 years and talk about this sunset and wish they were back in this moment?

I know I'll never see these people ever again. And they won't know that I captured this moment.

Will this image inspire someone to create a moment like this for themselves?......with the person they care about? And if they do, will someone secretly snap a photo of it.. an image that they will never know exists.

"Hey! Stand over there, I want to get a shot of that with someone in frame."......Is a phrase you might here me say at times.
.
Most people say, "What?" "No, you do it" ... which uses the same logic as a doctor asking you, "what do you think the problem is." I digress.
.
But when hiking with @marrific at the end of the summer in Yosemite, it's a different experience. When we found a cave, I ask her to get in the shot; she pulled out a lantern, stood in a "cool pose," took her phone out for a bit more lighting, and said, "how about this?"
.
Turn the tables, and I don't think it would have looked as cool. Unless I was wearing a bear suit... but I left that in the jeep.

The view as I approached JFK tonight. #neverforget #wtc #nyc #lights

I shot this 19 years ago today. I can remember exactly where I was almost to the minute. #neverforget #wtc #911

A quick time-lapse of 34th street NYC at sunset. ManhattanHenge was tech ally a few days ago but if you go back a day or two after you can sometimes still see it. I think this was one of the last days where you can clearly see the sun. However, it was actually cloudy that day so I stuck a sun in the shot using After Effects. You can also thank TicTok for my dramatic music choice. Enjoy! Shot on a Sony Alpha A7iii - Lens Nikon 70-200 - Sony Nikon Lens Adaptor - Nikon 2x converter - F - 5.6 (around that) - Shutter 1/125th - 1 shot per second #Manhattanhenge #ManhattanSolstice #NYC #sunset #Manhattan #AfterEffects #TimeLAps #Nikon70-200 #SonyAlpha #HuntersPoint

After I finished shooting a panoramic of the Milky Way. I set the camera to shoot intervals of the Milky Way over the spot where Black Rock City is set up and created this timelapse until the sun came up causing the Milky Way to fade into the sky. The Milky Way over the Black Rock Desert. April 23rd @ 4:00 AM. This image was taken over the spot where Burning Man is held each year; specifically, 7:15 and G. � Shot with a Sony Alpha A7iii ISO 6400 | 15 Sec | F2.8 Interval 15 Sec exposure +1 Sec Raw images edited in Lightroom Image sequence assembled in AE #burningman #burningman2019 #bmusa #burningmanusa #burningmanusa2019 #brc #magicmoments #blackrockcity #dancingburningman #industwetrust #burningmanphotos #burningmanvibes #blackrockdesert #thankslarry #thankyoularry #burner #mutantvehical #ArtCar #catterfly

JUST IN TIME! The US calendars finally arrived at my studio! I am shipping them out today along with Larchmont Calendars. If you would like to have your calendar arrive before Christmas I would need to mail your calendar out tomorrow. https://www.osullivanstudios.com/2020calendars/ This weekend I will be bringing up a limited supply to, "The Bott Shoppe" in Mamaroneck (174 East Boston Post Road). They will retail for $20. Thanks again to everyone that nudged me to put these together along with everyone that ordered one. It's been a lot of work but it's been really rewarding to hear how people like them. Happy Holidays!

Last month, I took a trip out to Lake Tahoe California to document the only hot air balloon company in the world that launches and lands their 14-person hot air balloon on a boat. If you want to take a ride yourself, reach out to https://laketahoeballoons.com

Pressing Apples at Fruits Des Vignes Farm, WA

A while back I was testing out a new camera rig while my buddies were pressing apples to make cider. I figured i'd cut togeter a short video with the footage. :-)

Shot this piece with @mrlynch to help @classicharborline to help kick off their #WorldPrideNYC season.��This June Classic Harbor Line will be hosting Pride Sails every Saturday from 1 to 3pm. The best part? One-hundred percent of the ticket sales will go to the @HetrickMartin Institute. #sailnyc #classicharborline#newyorkcity #pridenyc

Lake Tahoe Balloons is the only ballooning operation in the world where the entire process begins & ends on the deck of a boat! Here is a short clip of them getting ready to take off. Aerials were shot with an Inspire 2.

A quick video outlining some of the work I did for http://delusionsinternational.com.... When I was hired to shoot aerials of a number of Pepsi bottlers.

Hey John! Remember that time when you hung out in the desert with that family and decided to take a dronie only to realize that the dirt bike track was somewhat offense when viewed from the air. Yes, I remember that well. . . . #djiphantom #Phantom #gopro #phantom #quadcopter #uav #phantom3professional #dji #drone #phantom3 #gimball #quad #dronie #drones #dronesaregood #helicalantenna #fpv #sunset #desert #racetrack #dirtbike #dunebuggy #motorcross

Shooting a "hyper-laps" is basically, pointing your camera at a distant object, pressing the shutter, taking a step forward, refocusing, recomposing and taking the exact same shot from before... but just a little closer. Tonight, I followed @marcusmoller_dp across the Brooklyn bridge tonight as he demonstrated to me how he shoots them. I didn't want to duplicate what he was shooting so I figured I'd just shoot him as we spent two hours crossing the bridge. #hyperlaps #brooklynbridge #nyc #nikon #timelaps #camping #coldnights

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay! This year’s theme is “Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration” which is exactly what we do at Wild Tomorrow Fund. We are saving habitat in a global biodiversity hotspot, restoring its ecosystems, and then reintroducing key species including zebra, giraffe, wildebeest and more! 🦓 🦒 Our wildlife corridor is home to increasing levels of biodiversity as its ecosystems are actively restored: at last count 52 mammals, 403 bird species, 21 amphibians, 44 reptiles, 235 tree species, 41 species of arachnids..and more. 🕷 Join us in celebrating #worldwildlifeday by reading more about our work saving and restoring habitat at our wildlife corridor, and donating to support our work. www.wildtomorrowfund.org/wildlife-corridor 🦓📸Photograph by O'Sullivan Studios
Wild Tomorrow Fund was honoured to play a small but meaningful role in the release of 3 rhino orphans – Khula, Bhanoyi, and Zimisele - from Zululand Rhino Orphanage back into the wild. Our November Conservation Experience group was lucky to assist with the darting, dehorning, notching, and collaring of these 3 miracle animals in preparation for their release into the wild. Read the story (https://www.wildtomorrowfund.org/blog/rhino-orphan-release) for more information on the rehabilitation and release process of these rhino orphans.

Our November Conservation Experience volunteers have arrived and been in full force this past week helping out with reserve work, supporting neighboring reserves and communities, as well as seeing the beautiful sights and biodiversity of Zululand, South Africa!🇿🇦🦁🐘 Last week, the volunteers split into two groups and assisted our rangers with a morning snare patrol on both sections of the reserve (the Ukuwela section as well as the Mfuleni section). There were a total of 13 snares found, which is a great help in keeping the wildlife that call the Greater Ukuwela Nature Reserve safe from bushmeat poaching. Stay tuned to see what else our November volunteers get up to, and head to https://www.wildtomorrowfund.org/conservationexperience to find out more information about our 2022 trips! 📸Photograph by John O'Sullivan O'Sullivan Studios #snarepatrol #rangers #southafrica #conservation #wildlife #wildtomorrow #conservationexperience
💘 Here’s a cute lil’ dash of playa love for you: this beautiful #drone footage was created “when a guy from Israel asked a guy from NY to shoot his marriage #proposal at a place called Burning Man” in 2017. The art installation that is featured is titled "Flora Resplendica" and it was created by the imagination of 12-year-old honorarium artist Mayahuel Morse.
