    Last night I had a pretty fun editorial shoot for Edwin Jeans, using hip hop artist Gilbere Forte as the model. Here is a sample: I’ll post the set to shotbyjake.com when I finish editing, etc.. Reagan was able to get to Michigan, safe and sound. Today is another blizzard, to liven up my already…

    Not to beat a dead horse, but I have said it before about the Swedish and their rock/indie pop. I have been digging Miike Snow since the first time that I heard “Animal,” last spring. BTW, of all of the countless remixes of Animal, my favorite is still the one on the tarp surfing video…

    And when it is cold like this, Reagan wears her huge hairy hat. She has been playing a fun little game where he tries to do outfit posts each day leading up to her b-day. It has been kind of fun shooting some of them for her, for the 3 days this month that she…

    When we rolled up to Piper’s house on Sunday, Reagan asked Piper if she felt like having a haircut. Piper seemed a bit uncertain about it (see above). Reagan went into full salon mode, breaking out the wash/rinse basins etc.. After Piper’s hair was all squeaky clean, Reagan got down to cutting. As always, Piper…

    I skipped last week. I know, I know. Sorry. I know how the entire music world shuts down when I miss a LMC post, hahahah. Anyway, I have been listening to a lot of downtempo stuff lately. Especially while Reagan has been out. One of my downtempo favs is Telepopmusik. You have probably heard “Just…

    And now, the flipside to this post-– Here is a video of me interviewing Reagan, also during our trip to VA. BTW, I suppose that I should have punctuated the lead-in text a little better. Because it sort of seems like it says that I’m interviewing Reagan about what it is like to live in…
