A huge thanks for CORBIS editor Sara Wight for bringing me on to the CORBIS team. It is extremely, extremely exciting to be in the stock photo world.

I am now shooting and producing shoots for Heeb magazine here in NY. I spent the other afternoon in the Village with comedian and actress Iris Bahr; it's great to be working with these folks

I am curating "You Broke My Heart, Way Down In New Orleans," at the Civilian Art Projects gallery in Washington D.C.
"Through the vision of the artist, work in the exhibition will give examples of the tragedy, while simultaneously portraying the hope and humanity inherit in the recovery effort." I am presently accepting submissions of non-photo work until March 10th. Contact me for details.

The first segment of Roxy Music Renditions is done! View them here.

The Childrens book, A Frame For Cleo I am producing with author Darcie Stevens is coming along beautifully. Keep up with us along our journey to publishing.

I have started teaching digital photo and video in NYC public schools through the Brooklyn Arts Council and Wingspan Arts. I will post my students work as the semester progresses. There is some talent in those little ones....

I will be working with Refugee Services of Texas this holiday season, providing free family portraits to refugees relocated to the Austin area. If you are interested in donating to print costs so these folks can send portraits back home to their respective countries, please email me.

New work is in the latest December issues of: XXL, Giant, Under the Radar. Thanks to XXL for sending me to Chicago to shoot the Cool Kids and Giant sending me to Vegas to shoot Panic at the Disco.

THE COOL KIDS

R.I.P. to my friend Obatallah, the maestro, who recently passed at age 67 in Austin. His beautiful photo below.


Thanks to Chicago's Pylit for bringing me on board!

I spent a hot 24 hours in Richmond, VA shooting the Action Patrol reunion show, it ruled.

Famecast had me back in Austin to shoot their season 3 finals, thanks to the folks at Famecast and Action Figure!

The gals at Kindling and Tinder have a bitchin' site up for their custom knits; I love working with these ladies, their look book was a pleasure to shoot.



The Chronicle gave me the cover back in November; shooting the Strange Boys and the Golden Boys was a dream come true.


Cheers to my pal Brad Neely who has been writing with South Park this season, totally radical. A portrait of him from the archives is below.

The VIDEO section needs to be put into action, I know. I just shot Faceless Werewolves first video while in Austin, we'll have that uploaded with a slew of others by next month. Below is a teaser from the completed Ugly Beats Video. Thanks to everyone who participated to make that production run smoothly.


It's very difficult to come home to the dirty streets of Brooklyn after spending 3 weeks in the absolute pristine wilderness of Alaska. Really, really hard. You can see more Alaska photos in the travel section, as well as here




So, you know how to awesome Roxy Music is? Well I have teamed up with Austin designer Cheree Jetton to recreate 8 RM album covers for exhibition. They are coming along beautifully. One of my favorites is below. Thanks to Kelly Amanda for hair and makeup on all of the shoots, and Soft Action for styling. I'll be getting them up in the projects section as they are completed.

I recently shot an album cover for my old friend Rapid Ric. He's a total badass, and I have love shooting the Whut it Dew crew over the years. Album outtake below.

I have almost completed design for San Angelo's Sean Rasul. It is always a pleasure working with him.


I gave Austin's Kilombo Njinga Center for African and Afro-Diasporic Martial Arts portraits in August, they were an amazing set of gentlemen.

Thanks to Uber for featuring my Attack Formation "Truth Moves Out" video on IMF tentatively the week of August 13... Rad.

15 images from BST are on display in Austin at Rio Rita for the month of August.

There has been a WHOLE lot of action lately. I am presently in the Anchorage airport gearing up for 3 weeks of travel amongst salty recluses and grizzlies. My summer's travels have been insane; from Europe to a Northwest bicycle tour, to the present...I am road weary and missing NY's summer. I return on August 19th, and will catch up with my life and this site then. If your bored, check out my portraits of Patrick Cleandenim in the newest Under the Radar, and the fabulous Jenny Hart in the newest Juxtapoz.
