YOU'RE THE STAR OF MY MOVIE

I’ve been on a really nice jag work-wise and I am happy to report that I made it into The New York Times Magazine!

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 [...]

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!

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
