Luggage, Thou Art Loosed!
Just as I’m about to move from my current couch-crashing phase in New York (thank you so much, Vic) my life is about to become more mobile then ever. As summer approaches, I am preparing myself for three months of craziness shooting and attending weddings all over the country. The past 2 months I’ve tried [...]
Dog-sitting on the weekends…
I dog sat this past weekend with the lovely Maddie-the-Maltese on the Upper West Side… It was pretty fun. As you can see, Jon helped me walk her a couple times. This is Maddie’s ‘distrustful’ look. It wasn’t until we slept together that night that she really began to warm up to me. Figures. This [...]
Beach/hill.
I’m working on a long term project of putting together images that I capture of humans interacting with nature. I don’t have a set thing I’m looking for, but I do want them to be sort of surreal. These first couple of images are 2 of the other ones I’m thinking of using.
Top wedding… for several reasons.
I don’t usually post wedding photos… not for any particular reason but I just don’t. I couldn’t resist today though because yesterday was a day of “best-of’s” for weddings I’ve shot. I have a feeling this couple is going to experience lots of mazel for years to come… Best Wedding singer(s) (as well as best-dressed [...]
A great little stop motion short…
I found this incredible stop-motion video by Tomas Mankovsky on (ehem…) Kanye West’s blog. It’s an incredible find… and to be honest, I really like Kanye’s blog. Can’t really vouch for it because I haven’t spent that much time on it, but he has some good stuff on there. Sil-Comp2Uploaded by videos22. – Arts and [...]
Long Beach, New York.
I took my Memorial Day early this year– on a Thursday. It was Jon’s first day here and the weather was looking good so we headed out to Long Beach (New York that is) for a day in the sand and some BBQ. The only down side is that this means I’m working on Monday… [...]
The Three Stooges.
Tonight Jon arrives in New York City, the land of opportunity, to begin a new phase of his life. I can’t say how excited I am for him to be living here in the city. The only thing that would make it better would be to have Josh here. But alas, I’ll have to wait [...]
A few days in Phoenix…
So in the midst of a month of unexpected twists and turns, I took a four day trip to Phoenix. In the name of sparing travel expenses, I used gotobus.com to find a cheap bus there from the Los Angeles area. When I arrived at the bus station (aka the ABC Supermarket in Westminster), I [...]
Scott and Dave
Ladies and gentlemen it’s an honor for me to introduce to you today: Scott Henning and Dave Hill.
Gospel Swamp Coffee
While I was in LA, I stopped by my friend Chad’s place to check out his roasting operation. He’s started up a great little coffee company called Gospel Swamp Coffee. Check it out. Chad’s coffee roaster: Chad himself.
Handstand contests.
This is one of my favorite LA spots: the Griffith Park observatory. Check it out when you get a chance. I also recommend hand-stand contests.
Fauxchella, part I.
So this last 6 weeks has been a crazy time for me. A time of funerals and moving and couch-hopping and jet setting and bank accounts emptying and nerve-racking meetings. And the days ahead are filled with tons of shoots and grant applications and phone/in-person meetings. Its not slowing down. So sorry for my absence [...]
Another blue wall… New York.
Cell phone photos are the best because they’re totally on-the-go and in-the-moment. I’ve been noticing primary colors a lot lately…
Sometimes the sun DOESN’T shine.
I’m thinking up a photo shoot for the near future entitled “When It Rains It Pours.” Hmm… In a completely unrelated note to the title of my next project/theme of my life of late, a lovely family playing in the sun on the beach:
Lindye Maples
I did a shoot a couple weeks ago with my friend, Lindye Maples. We were both updating our portfolios. It was a fun shoot. Check it out.
Matti and Lynn
I shot a great wedding in Palm Springs a couple weeks ago at the Parker. It was a beautiful, intimate ceremony followed by a great middle-eastern infused party. Check it out.
