YOU'RE THE STAR OF MY MOVIE

I can now cross SUPERMODEL off my photos-to-take list! Want more details: This was easy, I’m lucky, she’s awesome. You can read an interview on LOVING and learn about her secret blog. She is an excellent photographer: Listen to her speak and see some of her work for Oxfam. Thank you Helena!

Kate Jones has a wonderful eye for both making jewelry, with her label Ursa Major, and for editing photography, on her blog which covers style and sailing. Check it out and tell me you aren’t ready for an adventure on the high seas! My wife and I started researching used sailboats this summer. Bill Storandt [...]

I have new photo’s of  Karyn Starr (top) and Nina Freudenberger (bottom) who are featured on my wife’s blog LOVING.

You know that feeling when a Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, or Russell Lee photograph isn’t up to snuff and you take a hole punch to the negative? No? Me neither, but Roy Stryker did when he ran the Works Progress Administration (check out this interview with Mr. Stryker). Artist Lisa Oppenheim’s series of worked based [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 have a new portrait up of Molly McCommons at the West Village’s favorite store Castor & Pollux. I stayed up late prepping the file, with a basketball game on (high five: the Lakers lost), listening to Bob Lind (who has a record entitled “Photographs of Feeling”), and wondering what kind of picture I’d made. [...]

A new pic went up at the Castor & Pollux Loving blog today of Italian Vogue writer / jewelry maker / West Village neighbor / good cheer maven Stefania Pia. She is in a word a hoot (is that two words?). Capturing a pic of her careening personality while she’s not laughing or one where [...]
