Life
Some shots from the road…
As much as I love this wonderful city in which I (sometimes – ha) live, during the summer it becomes a home base that I tag long enough to do laundry and (haggardly and frantically) try and catch up on responding to e-mails, paying bills, shoving disks in the mail, FTPing images, responding to phone [...]
Where I Am Now.
I’m about at the half-way point of a month of pretty intense and constant travel. Currently I’m in Seattle staying with my buddy Johnny, working, going to meetings and (this Friday) doing a shoot. It’s been 2 years since I was last here, and I’m reminded on this trip just how much I LOVE this [...]
From the Archives…
Read/view while listening to Blind Pilot. Yesterday was one of those travel days where everything goes wrong. I should have been westbound on a plane from MKE to LGB that would have had me in before noon with a rental car awaiting me on my arrival. But because I missed my flight it ended up [...]
Summer 2010
This summer is already kicking last summer’s behind as far as mobility is concerned. It started out in Phoenix, then a road trip to Indianapolis, two separate trips from Indiana back to New York and two separate trips back to California, and then a brief trip to New York. This week has been a no-post [...]
Finally some sun.
Well this California trip has been a much appreciated break from the heat/humidity of New York – but it’s almost been TOO cold (the grass is always greener). Yesterday morning I wore a sweater and flannel at 6 AM when I got up to go surfing. But today, after 3 days of cloudy dreariness, we [...]
Plugging Away
It’s drizzly and warm in Brooklyn today. Last night I stayed at the Lippke Studio until late working and then had a nightcap with Andrea and Ira. It was great to catch up with my dear friends and re-hash the last couple of weeks with them. Still working on getting back into a groove. I’m [...]
Italian Feast
Well, I’ve been back in New York for almost a week now and it’s been great to get relatively back into the swing of things. I’ve been working on post-production, going to client meetings, enduring the unbelievable heat and humidity, and… eating ENORMOUS amounts of Italian food. On Tuesday I headed out to Long Island [...]
Flaming Skyline
(Click here to see a slightly larger version of the above image) Last night I rode my bike from my apartment at 148th street down to Hell’s Kitchen– 46th street. New York was a maze of police, tourists, families, road-blocks, police horses, and children. I weaved my way slowly down the Hudson, the sun exploding [...]
Back to Picinguaba
I’m catching my breath this afternoon after a whirlwind couple of days– 3 major shoots and a big party Friday night. I don’t feel exhausted, though. I feel relaxed and grateful. New York is warming up, it feels like summer already, and I’m so excited for the month of June to come. It’s going to [...]
A day in the park
Last weekend was a walk on the beach… this weekend was a day in the park. It was a pretty incredible day– the park was packed with New Yorkers playing frisbee, flying kites, throwing the baseball around. I went on a long early-morning bike ride, had a huge roommate breakfast, and then bathed in the [...]
The fading winter light
New York City is exploding with spring color today. After a busy week this last week trying to get our new apartment in order (long story short, we love our new place)– I’m madly trying to get caught up on work. I was thinking about this blog the other day… and I must admit I [...]
Some fall/winter archives
I’m leaving to head back to New York today after a couple shoots here in LA. I’m actually really anxious to get back and get moved (to a new apartment AND new office). I have a few photos from shoots dating back to September of last year that I never posted, so I thought I’d [...]
Some winter stuff
First off, I don’t often post inspiration on here. I’m not sure why, but I’m going to today because I have fallen in love with the work of Andrew Brookes. Matthew’s work is the closest I’ve found to what I aspire my fashion work to look like– basically, like life. Love it. So this is [...]
A California Day in New York
I just finished up a long day of shooting in Brooklyn for a mens line of suits. Pretty excited about how some of the stuff came out. More on that to come… in the mean time, how about that weather, fellow New Yorkers? This California kid is stoked. 70 degrees and blue skies. Reminded me [...]
Some winter memories…
The music of the morning (among other things) is Balmorhea who, it turns out, have a really cool website. Also on the morning set-list, is my friend, the talented Emily Weiss, whose experimentation with lyrics and music and instruments somehow mixes whimsy with the deeply profound– even apocalyptic. In the past month, I managed to [...]
Another rainy Sunday.
Well, it’s still raining in New York City. And it looks to continue to for the next 48 hours. I don’t mind it as long as I’m not out in it (which is sort of unavoidable here). In the mean time, to get my mind on spring-things– and in honor of daylight savings time and [...]
Alive together
Today is a dreary day in New York City. It’s Saturday, and though I have enough work piled up that part of me feels like I could just power through the weekend, I know my soul needs rest. So I’m going to be spending today’s rainy-ness hanging with my two best friends– maybe taking a [...]
Spring=hope.
This is a bit of a shameless re-post. I was going through some old shoots and started retouching these images and kind of fell in love with them. Part of that is because of the story– spring, rain, friends, etc– that is attached to them. Spring is going to be here soon. And though 2010 [...]
For what it’s worth…
Unfortunately this is not Haiti Day 4. Tomorrow. Today was a surreal day of travel. It didn’t help that I’m reading “Kafka On The Shore” right now– which messes with your head, but the whole day I felt tired and zombie-like and fuzzy. I left for the airport on the M60 Bus at 9:30 AM. [...]
Desert Worn.
The desert has always been a huge source of inspiration for me and for my photography. I’ve been there time and time again either with friends, or alone. This past trip to California I spent a day there with Laurel and Hillary. Something about this trip was particularly special. I haven’t been up to the [...]
