YOU'RE THE STAR OF MY MOVIE

I’ve been surgically attached to my laptop since September and those long long days are coming to an end (in the sense that I’m finishing up some projects, not in the I should try this kind of way). For the first time since I decided to quit my job as Associate Art Director at American [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 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 [...]

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 [...]

Director Josie Whittlesey came by my little studio set up on West 10th street a few weeks ago. I prefer natural light but… 1) my long term plans include laughing at my current light setup and I was thinking I should first really understand exactly what a couple of $3 photo floods can do. 2) [...]

This one goes out to all my favorite photo editors! You’re gonna love Meredith German’s label Meredith Wendell,which she runs with her husband Ross. Perfectly constructed accessories, in Pop Art color hits on leather and glass, make the constant barrage of desperate photographer emails just that much more bearable. Check it out… you’ll love it. [...]

I love Ruby Washington’s photo in the Saturday’s New York Times Art Section which accompanies and a review of Trajal Harrell‘s “Medium (M)” also known as “(M)imosa.” It’s printed in black + white in the paper, but runs in color on the website. Here’s a cellphone snap of the paper juxtaposed with a color screen [...]

The Westminster Dog Show is for serious next level dog-loving. I mean, I love dogs (my wife and I have a pitbull-mix and a chihuahua-mix who is something of a star in Puerto Rico)… and hair too (even though I’m follicly challenged), but I am purely an amateur as evidenced by our mutts.  If you [...]
