    My friend Dan emailed me this awesome link the other day to a page on the NASA website where there are links to all of the images that the Apollo 17 astronauts took while documenting the mission. After clicking through about 300 links, I immediately agreed with his statement that “It would be nice to…

    It has been a while since I have posted a throwback. Joy Division tapes were one of my staples, in my long haired skateboard riding days. Before I ever really heard much of their music, I was completely captivated by the whole Joy Division-New Order Kineckt. Stories about suicidal rock stars are easy for teenagers…

    I was approached in early December by the editor, about using a shot of the Roa mural at Factory Fresh Brooklyn. After he checked out the rest of my photo blog he asked me if I wouldn’t mind doing an interview. Of course I was totally stoked (and still am) about it. Thanks again for…

    I finished the latest issue of GQ on the train yesterday. All in all, it was a pretty crappy issue. The feature story was about about the “25 coolest athletes” of all time. The only action sports athlete that they mentioned was Kelly Slater. I have to agree with GQ on that one. But I…

    I know that this is kind of a cop out. But I have really been busy. I’m not just making excuses, here. One of the things that I have been doing, is putting together some photos for a little feature that an art mag is doing on my work– toot toot (the sound of my…

    Thursday evening we set out on a secret mission that I dubbed “project: snap tree.” We hit 6 trees, all in one evening. We started in DUMBO and worked our way up town, mixing in some burgers along the way. For the most part these shots were a combination of super long exposures with light…

    It has been a rough couple of days, following the holiday. I have been stuck at the office basically non-stop since then. I did, however, take the opportunity to stop off at Houston St. on the way home last night and snap a couple of shots of the new Kenny Scharf mural going up. Also,…

    The photo above is a bit anachronistic, if I were to order things according to the title of this post. But I really, really like it. So there it is (at the top). Friday night, I was running around like crazy person trying to get some stuff shot before galleries closed, etc.. The last thing…
