YOU'RE THE STAR OF MY MOVIE

The West Indian Day Parade is massive. If you haven’t been you should put it on the to do list. Loud music, bikinis/feathers/glitter, jerk chicken, lots of people, lots of people dancing, flat bed trucks full of speakers. These pictures were taken when people finished the parade and I concentrated on the bikinis/feathers/glitter aspect but [...]

My friend DB Burkeman’s book “Stuck Up Piece of Crap” is being published by Rizzoli this September. It’s a history of stickers across counter-cultural movements with nods to skateboarding, punk rock, graffiti, political activism. I had to watch a couple of times but I spotted at least a few skate stickers I had when I [...]

SO SO HOT here in NYC. Here’s how Kerrilynn and I beat the heat: Campari on the roof! Music from the summer of ’66:

Got model releases? No? This little bit of info should inspire you. Ann Kirsten Kennis says there isn’t a release for the picture of her on the cover of the Vampire Weekend release Contra. According to Entertainment Weekly: “Kennis is asking the band, label XL Recordings, and photographer Tod Brody for at least $2 million [...]

Danger Mouse has a summer playlist in the latest New York Magazine. I haven’t been through the whole list but so far I really dig the Black Moon remix. Here are a few songs that have been ringing my bell lately and think might be missing from the playlist: Helado Negros’ Venceremos: Alhaji K Frimpong’s [...]

Here’s the last Dora post for a couple of weeks. This one is at the Cape May NJ Lighthouse. It was a beautiful day at the beach: I got a sunburn, drank a Bud tall boy in a parking lot after the shoot, used a new (to me) light–the ARRI fresnel, climbed a lighthouse for [...]

Russian magazine F5 ran a piece on me in their last issue. It was issue 101 which reminds me of Joe Strummer’s pre-Clash band the 101′ers:

“I like to think of myself —as an artist— as being in a nondescript swamp, alone, up to my knees in mire, painting the vital beauty I see there, in my own way, not caring a damn about tradition, or anyone’s opinion.” — Charles Burchfield Gardenville, February 8th, 1938 I was at a party last [...]

Another pic for the T Magazine blog I took last week of an amazing new bike store, Adeline Adeline, in Tribeca. Check out the Guv’nor, it’s a beauty. Not too dissimilar from the crappy stripped down 70s Raleigh I ride now (not a fixie mind you) but a far cry from my days as a [...]

Playboy Playmates 1953-2008 (depending on your job possibly NSFW). This is a crazy … I suppose you can look at this in many different ways (!) but I totally geeked out and went for lighting setups (1973 is my favorite year). I suppose that is the equivalent of the old “I get it for the [...]
