I hung out with Lucy Punch last week and she was both funny and a delight to be around. You can see her in Dinner for Schmucks which opens today. She is getting raves from critics saying she stole the show. The picture is for the Castor & Pollux blog Loving.
Food photography as a panacea for frustrated former-painter?
Jul 26, ’10

I’m beginning to think that food photography is an excellent way to exercise the frustrated former-painter aspect of my personality. I shot with food stylist/chef Michelli Knauer last week. She made sardines with eggs and beets! The color combo is worthy of praise, no? I really enjoy moving blocks of color around. It reminds me [...]

According to Entertainment Weekly: “Kennis is asking the band, label XL Recordings, and photographer Tod Brody for at least $2 million [...]
One speeding ticket later

It was a road trip in the sense that Kerrilynn and I covered 450 miles… but not in the true sense as it was driven in less than 48 hours. I have a bad habit of shooting pictures while driving. The pictures are usually pretty bad but it looks so good whizzing by at 80 [...]

Is the 4th of July the most photogenic of U.S. holidays? It certainly is the most fun. Food, drinks, explosives. From the house I grew up in I could see the fireworks streaking over the Washington Monument and the 4th of July is filled with many strong memories: –a Beach Boys concert on the National [...]

I saw a Jason Bell picture in the new Vanity Fair. His site led me to Derringer Cycles which led me to a state called desire. WANT THIS SO BAD (board track racing motorcycle by Adrian Van Anz):
