Johanna Fateman

Here’s a new portrait of Johanna Fateman. She owns Seagull Salon which is next door to my wife Kerrilynn’s store, Castor & Pollux. Neighbors and what not. She is 1/3 of Le Tigre and writes and produces music for Christina Aguilera, among others. She looks like this and makes music with Le Tigre member JD [...]

Reece Solomon / Reece Hudson

Designer Reece Solomon, was prepping for a trip to Paris, and I like to make all my shoots quick and easy, so I shot this around the corner from her Reece Hudson studio. She is easy on the eyes and that makes a photographer’s life simple…. thus no assistants, no bounce cards, one camera, two [...]

Jed Root Review

Here is the amazing part: “You’re a very good photographer.” That, Dear Reader, is very nice to hear. Especially when it comes from Dionne Thornton, Jed Root’s Director of Exhibitions and Publications and she says it to me (yes, I just high fived myself). Like everyone else at the third floor bar of The Norwood [...]

Bruce Weber and Other Famous People

I love photography. I love basketball. It’s not super complicated… but I mostly loved punk rock in my teens so sometimes my love of the b-ball feels… very mature. I therefore couldn’t help but notice Bruce Weber, Nan Bush, Pat Riley and Magic Johnson sitting in consecutive rows at the Lakers-Heat game on March 10th. [...]

What I Learned From Herb Ritts

Need career advice? I do. (I’m pretty sure Steve Jobs doesn’t read this blog which means everyone else should answer accordingly.) I took advantage of my proximity to the Brooklyn Public Library, checked out some books, and dove right into Charles Churchward’s “Herb Ritts: The Golden Hour” to see what I could learn from Herb. [...]

Get The Weekend Started Right VIII

I think musician/graphic designer/artist Kim Hiorthøy shot the cover of this weekend’s party starter: “Lovesick” on the Real Life is No Cool record by Lindstrøm And Christabelle. Sometimes the internet is a little tricky and I can’t be too sure. I am sure I like Kim’s multiple hat wearing though.

Katie Finn – Diamond Life

Katie Finn of Elizabeth Street Jewelry is a virgo, makes stuff out of gold and diamonds, has NOLA pride and likes the ocean. This pic is for LOVING where you can see her interview. She really doesn’t like having her picture taken so I was tempted to offer up some tequila but is wasn’t even [...]

BOWIE!

The BBC doc “Cracked Actor” about David Bowie circa ’75 is up on Vimeo (for at least a little while). He talks in a limo while driving through the desert, applies makeup, plays with Burroughs’ cut-up technique, mimes, talks death… The Ziggy Stardust-era footage of dressed up fans alone makes it worth the watch. It [...]
