I was going through my archives tonight for another project and found the black & white photos above, which I never shared. I think I took them last May.

Major black & white inspiration right now: Koto Bolofo’s photos for the new Margaret Howell SS13 campaign. Woo-eee.
Published: March issue of Bon Appétit

An editorial I photographed for Bon Appétit is out now — it’s in the March issue (“Fast, Easy, Fresh”).
Food styling by the incredible Simon Andrews and prop styling by the talented Amy Wilson.

When I arrived back at home last night, almost 19 days later, I felt different. Going away for a long time does that to me. It’s like I hit the “reset” button. It wasn’t a vacation (I was working almost every day) and it wasn’t the sort of reset that comes with leisure time and relaxation. But it was great to see new things, meet new people, hang with old friends, drive down roads hugging seaside cliffs, eat at a new place, learn new things, and get out of my comfort zone.
The photos above are some digital photos I took in CA – I have a lot of film to be developed and processed in the coming weeks, but I wanted to share these in the meantime.
It is good to be home, even if it’s dreary and gray here today. Something about sleeping in your own bed after an extended trip…
Also! If you would like me to make a print of any of the photos above, then please get in touch for pricing and other details — selling even a few prints would really help me to cover the costs of my trip (some travel expenses as well as personal film costs). In fact, if there are any photos that you would like printed from California over the coming weeks, then the same offer stands – get in touch to discuss purchasing a print.

Lots more from California soon. I’m excited to get back to posting here regularly.

I couldn’t be happier to share this work with you today.
In October of 2011, before I moved back to Brooklyn from London, I had the incredible opportunity to shoot photos for Freunde von Freunden at the studio of British artists Tim Noble & Sue Webster. I had walked by their studio – a notable building in Shoreditch by architect David Adjaye – many times before (often looking at my reflection in their mirrored windows along the ground floor). It was an honor to spend the morning with them, seeing their old work as well as a new series of work. This new series would culminate in “Nihilistic Optimistic“, their first major exhibition in London since 2006, at Blain Southern in late 2012.
Click over to Freunde von Freunden to read the interview, see the full set of photos, and watch a video from that day.
If you don’t know Tim & Sue’s work, you can see their website (and read their Wikipedia page for a quick & dirty version).

(Thanks to Timmi and Frede and the FvF team for asking me to shoot this one – it was my first collaboration with them and I’m so glad we’re still working together on good portraits.)

My good friends Al and Peter have launched a new line of sportswear today, called paa.
It was an honor to shoot pictures for them a couple of weeks ago. For their first lookbook, I photographed 3 local NYC gents who own small businesses. They are each wearing one of the hats in the first paa collection.
I have a couple of these hats and I love them — check out their website at houseofpaa.com and you can see the hats as well as the rest of the photos I took. Big congrats to Al & Peter!

-(ps – sorry for the silence around here, I’ve been in California and have not been in front of a computer very much. I have more new work to share with you tomorrow – stay tuned! In the meantime, you can follow my adventures on Instagram)

Film Photography Class at LDBA in Brooklyn!
(photo credit: Molly Wizenberg)
. . . . . . .
Hello party people.
A quick announcement: I’ll be teaching an analogue film photography class at L’Ecole Des Beaux Arts (LDBA) in Brooklyn on Saturday, February 23 from 10:30-11:30.
You can find the class details and register HERE. I hope you’ll join me if you’re interested, it will be a lot of fun.
I’ve mentioned it here before, but LDBA is the brainchild of my super-talented friend Sara Moffat. There are an incredible selection of classes available in the coming weeks so check out the LDBA website (and sign up for my class if you’re interested!).
Thanks.
