Photography Lessons in Tribeca

I started giving private photo lessons about 1 year in to shooting when Dana (now one of my best friends) flew from LA to Chicago to learn what I was doing. I’ve helped several others since I first worked with Dana. Today I was giving lessons in Tribeca when I realized how fortunate I am to have the opportunity to do what I love and teach others.

The Blow: True Affection

with 2 comments

I heard this song at Tenjune last night. It’s a trillion years old but somehow I missed the memo that it had existed. I wrote down the lyrics when I heard it and googled it as soon as I came home. It’s now my song of the day. Enjoy the video (odd that the colors in this video go along with some of the pieces I shot there last night!)

News About the New Site

leave a comment »

You may recall I changed my site the other day. It turns out it was a GREAT idea! I’m already seeing that it is helping people see more work, it seems people are staying on it longer, and I’m getting more people contacting me. Now the pressure is on: how do I outperform this?

I just finished a shoot and a meeting and now I’m off to another meeting and another shoot followed some art receptions in Chelaea. I’ll keep thinking of ways to outdo myself throughout the rest of the day! 😀

That’s my buddy, Mel, playing the tamborine on the left 😉 Crank this shit up…

They’ll be playing soon with The Fold in LA next week. (oddly, I occasionally hung out with the wife of one of the guys from The Fold when I was living in Chicago, small world, ay?!) Go enjoy yourself:

Antony & the Johnsons: Hope There’s Someone

There was a time I would play this during shoots and then I learned it was bringing everyone down. It’s still one of my top 50 favorite songs of all time.
