    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…

    So, yeah. These images are from a new series that I’m working on called “nerdp*rn.” That’s not really what I shot them for. But, until reading the previous sentence, the first sentence is pretty believable, right? In other news, I bought a book from Hare a Krnsa monk in the subway, today. The dude was…

    I recently finished reading the latest issue of GQ. Toward the end of the mag, they had this little editorial previewing stuff for spring. One of the first images was the one above, that I grabbed from the GQ website. It is a photo of Arnie Hammer, apparently about to knock someone’s teeth out with…

    Shooting from the hip, flying by night, whatever you want to call it. That’s what I have been up to. Actually it would have been nice if there would have been a little more flying by night going on over the past few days. We have been trying to get Reagan on a plane so…

    (photo I posted it because I was archiving last year’s stuff, and I came across it. It has nothing to do with this post, except for the fact that breakdancing is still awesome in 2011) I have been thinking pretty long and hard about some resolutions for this year.

    Reagan had this fancy idea to pass along some of her clothing via her blob. So, on Sunday night we had a little shoot with her modeling the clothes. I couldn’t help but make this little video compiling all of the frames (including outtakes with Reagan walking out of the frame, and shots where the…

    Above: my new beard. When I returned to my (real) job after the TN trip, I discovered that several of the first-year associates in my group were sporting some pretty aggressive facial hair. I was promised a certificate and a tote bag if I joined in on the cause. Although I have since discovered the…
