Month October 2010

Delivered to your door

I love having the newspaper delivered. My favorite weekend activity is drinking coffee on the sofa with the dogs and the paper. This picture by Ayman Oghanna was on the front page of the New York Times this morning. Beautiful. I love the when art photography and photojournalism aren’t that far apart e.g. Luc Delahaye.

The Girl Next Door

New pic of mine up at the Castor & Pollux blog “Loving.” It’s of Laura Connors. She works next to Castor & Pollux at Seagull Hair and is a hoot. Read about Bob from Twin Peaks and other cultural touchstones in her questionnaire.

Advice from Larry Clark (if you want that kind of thing)

I’ve told people my lesson for photography—which I probably stole from you at one point. [...] Frame the picture. Make the greatest, most prefect composition you can… and then take a step forward. It skews it a bit and makes it more interesting. –Larry Clark, in conversation with Ralph Gibson, Interview Magazine, Oct 2010.

Get the Weekend Started Right

In a nod to James Danziger‘s weekend video posts, this Marvin Gaye track (Far Cry) is flooring me right now:

The way the sparks lit up (shown here in the lower left) when the Michael Pitt character flicks a cigarette against a wall really jumped off the screen. The episode was shot by [...]

Prospect Park – After the Hail

Here are some photos of Prospect Park after the hail storm in Brooklyn last night. The air temperature was alternately warm or cold depending on where I was standing and I was completely alone once I entered the park. Spooky. A few days ago I marveled how my favorite tree in the park had withstood [...]

Francesca Bonato

I shot a photo of Francesca Bonato for the Ladies of Castor & Pollux series. She’s Italian, lives in Mexico, designs jewelry (Hacienda Montaecristo), has hotels (Coqui Coqui) and her husband, Nicolas Malleville gets to lay next to Kate Moss in ad campaigns. Nice life, right? She is also nice, super talented, and beautiful. She [...]

Bang

I shot the stills for Holle Singer’s short “Bang” recently. (Yes, there were bunnies on set and yes they are cute!) On the Electric Circus site you can see, and vote for your favorite including shorts by Duncan Cargill, Rachel Macaulay, Ben Gutteridge, Sean Gray, Lee Ford, and Achim Bornhak.
