I was approached by Rob MacKay, Director of Public Relations, Marketing & Tourism of the Queens Economic Development Corporation (QEDC), at the end of October about hiring me to help with shooting their 2020 Queens calendar.

Rob told me that along with Seth Bornstein, Executive Director of the QEDC, that next years theme for their calendar would be historic homes in Queens.

Bornstein talks about the theme of the upcoming calendar in QEDC’s latest newsletter, “The borough has more than 850,000 living units, but we chose 13 socially significant residences. Some are centuries old, others are architectural treasures, and some are simple. What makes them special is what happened inside.”

I am fortunate to have 4 photos of the Queens selected to be featured in QEDC’s 2020 calendar. Which houses you ask? Which months will they be featured in? I can’t tell you that folks. You’ll have to purchase the calendar yourself to find out.

Contact Rob Mackay via email at rmackay@queensny.org and put your order in ASAP! Each calendar cost $10.00 and proceeds will go to ALL the Queens’ historic sites as well as the Queens Tourism Council.
