YOU'RE THE STAR OF MY MOVIE

Lesley M.M. Blume sells books much faster than most people. Her new book, Let’s Bring Back, based on her column for The Huffington Post is selling like hotcakes. Here’s a pic I took of her for Castor & Pollux.

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 [...]

I shot the cover for Colin Loggins’ latest Full Catastrophe Living release “Drowning By Proxy.” It’s got an indie pop sensibility + drum machines + a love of 80s English new wave. Think Ultra Vivid Scene, Guided By Voices, and New Order. It’s both ecstatic and introspective and it reminds me of feelings I had [...]

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 [...]

Here’s a new portrait I took of of beauty expert Jessa Blades. See her interview at the Castor & Pollux Loving Blog.

You can read about Julia Bainbridge, whose portrait I shot, over at the Castor & Pollux LOVING blog. We had a great time hanging out in Prospect Park. You can’t tell from the shot but we were surrounded by a healthy amount of bags from the Farmer’s Market.

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 [...]

I hung out with Lucy Punch last week and she was both funny and a delight to be around. You can see her in Dinner for Schmucks which opens today. She is getting raves from critics saying she stole the show. The picture is for the Castor & Pollux blog Loving.

Is the 4th of July the most photogenic of U.S. holidays? It certainly is the most fun. Food, drinks, explosives. From the house I grew up in I could see the fireworks streaking over the Washington Monument and the 4th of July is filled with many strong memories: –a Beach Boys concert on the National [...]

I’ve been shooting lots of television ads for the Nickelodeon show Dora the Explorer (you can see one here). But I managed to shoot another picture for the Ladies of Castor & Pollux. Here’s Julie Engell:
