Adam.
Tonight I went to Soho to see a movie I’d been anticipating called Adam. What I didn’t realize is that it was opening night, I was at one of four theaters nationwide at which it was playing, and the director along with the lead actor, Hugh Dancy, were there to introduce it. Only in New [...]
(1) Day of Summer…
The days that I’ve been in New York this summer have been few and far between. And the days that I’ve been here and been able to hang out have been fewer. But this week, I was down to hang as much as humanly possible. My good friend Ben was in town, and we decided [...]
My baby sister.
Well, she’s no baby. She’s married, and now has a new last name. So stoked for her and her new life!
US Open of Surfing, 2009.
I’m photographing the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach again this year for one of my favorite clients. Nike really saved the day with the open, and it has been incredible. But with the prize money increase, the big names of surfing have been here: Andy Irons, Slater, Machado. And that has meant CROWDS. [...]
This is life.
Remember that scene in Fight Club when Edward Norton, plagued with insomnia, wanders from flight to flight like a zombie, traveling all over the country, often times forgetting what city he’s even in? Well, I’m beginning to understand the feeling. I’ve spent so much time in the air and at airports this summer that I [...]
Some oldies but goodies…
Lots to post… As usual I’m backed up. Just got to Long Beach after giving up my seat on a flight, getting a free round trip ticket in exchange, but getting actually getting in 3 hours earlier to LAX anyways. Sometimes you just luck out! These are all Texas:
Texas sky.
Just few images from a hot Texas night a couple weeks ago. These are of my good friend Chad.
I recommend… fresh produce.
While I was home in Michigan this past week, my folks and I stopped at a fresh produce stand and picked out some food for dinner: Freshly picked corn to have on the cob (maybe the best corn I’ve had… and I used to work picking corn so I should know :-/), fresh tomatoes, and [...]
The folks.
I guess part of becoming a man is learning to understand and really appreciate the people that raised you. We haven’t always seen eye to eye on everything– but my parents are pretty stellar… in fact, they truly are two of the best parents I’ve seen, and I’m blessed to get to know them not [...]
St. Joseph, MI.
As this is being published, I’m en route to New York City on the Lakeshore Limited Amtrak train. I’ll be getting some much needed photo editing done as I watch the scenery pass me by out the window. Here’s a few shots from my trip to St. Joseph with my parents today. It was gorgeous [...]
Home sweet home.
It’s been a great week home here in Michigan with my folks. I slept all week out on the back porch with the cool night breeze and the sound of frogs croaking. I was also on a mission to get a bike to bring back on the train to New York. Mission accomplished. More photos [...]
Ryan’s brew.
These next couple days are going to be crazy busy, so I may or may not be M.I.A. In the mean time, here’s some older shots from a month or so back. This is my good friend Ryan making some home brew. I had the opportunity to try a cold one on the balcony of [...]
On the roof.
The other day, Bonnie, Jon, & I may or may not have accidentally set off the fire alarm in our building, locked ourselves on the roof, and escaped down the fire escape. May or may not have, I said. Look at that sunset!
No worries. I’ll just shake the dust off…
Well, I didn’t make the top 10 for the Really Goode Job over at Murphy-Goode. But congrats to the top 10 that did! To be honest, it’s primarily just a relief to know so I can plan my a future a little better. Now I really feel like I can dive head-first into the project [...]
Westside Market.
Just wanted to give a little shout-out to my favorite Manhattan grocery/market. It’s not the cheapest place to get groceries, but it’s also not the most expensive. And there are some screamin deals on certain things… $5 for 3 cartons of berries, anyone? Plus they have really good coffee for $1, and my favorite– nearly [...]
I do.
In the last month: Flew to Los Angeles, shot a wedding. Flew to Atlanta. Drove across the country back to Los Angeles. Got up at 6 AM after I got there and flew back to New York. Five days later I flew to Atlanta, was in a wedding. Flew back to New York. A 4 [...]
Trevor & Kassi.
Sitting at MSP airport waiting for my flight. I’m exhausted. Shot an incredible 4th of July wedding yesterday at a beautiful estate in La Jolla, CA. It was one of the most tiring shoots I think I’ve ever had, but so worth it. Trevor and Kassi are dear friends of mine and I was honored [...]
My girls.
Stayed with the girls this past week in Long Beach. That meant I slept on a bed of furs and cow-hides and spent my days working with my toes curled up on a thick shaggy carpet in a giant craftsman style living room filled with light. Thank you Jody, Laurel, Ashley, and Kelsey.
Train to San Diego.
I’m in San Diego in an incredible estate to shoot a good friends wedding. Yesterday morning after a great couple days in Long Beach, I packed up my orange suitcase and took 2 buses and a train down to San Diego. This morning I woke up early and took a little drive along the coast. [...]
448.
Apparently this is my 448th post. I don’t know why I checked, but today was a day where posting is purely therapeutic, and I was just curious how many I had up here. Life is a little bit crazy for me right now. I flew in to Orange County this last Saturday after not having [...]
