South of the Mason/Dix

driving south through rural pennsylvania you quickly cross over the maryland border and at some point there is a small blue roadside sign that simply says Mason/Dixon line. there’s a bit of historical significance to that sign and i assume it is there to serve as a reference to those interested in the historyContinue reading “South of the Mason/Dix”

Evil, Evil Men and the Women Who Love Us

So, I’m fortunate in many ways to have the opportunity to have the chance to collaborate with so many creative people on a regular basis. The creativity often come in the form of collaborating with talented models and more often than not, the collaboration requires a fair amount of trust. The model has to trustContinue reading “Evil, Evil Men and the Women Who Love Us”

some ghosts

this weekend i had the opportunity to work with carly erin again. we’ve been friendly enough to each other on the socializing sites, but it suddenly came to our attention that we hadn’t actually tried to collaborate on making some art in almost a year! i set up some time at my friend george’sContinue reading “some ghosts”

Drill Baby, Drill!!

29 palms

its been a fabulous and very intensely creative week of shooting in the high desert of california for the past week. is it hot here? you bet it is. the bullshit about it being, “a dry heat” is a lot of bunk. its still hot. most everyone plans to shoot either in the early morningContinue reading “29 palms”

the high desert

we finally made it out to Joshua Tree National park and the 29 Palms Inn. yesterday’s trip out of NYC with Rael was a non-event and getting through the airport was a breeze and the flight was great. Virgin America seems to be a hip airline with seat-back entertainment systems that offered movies, a foodContinue reading “the high desert”

finding the moment

there’s no doubt that Elizabeth is a wonderful model. she’s easy to travel with, has an incredible sense of humor, and when she’s modeling for me is positively luminescent! however, one of the key elements to making true art is that you have to put yourself into a space where the defining moments will present themselves. andContinue reading “finding the moment”
