Capital Cities Rock - As if you couldn’t tell from these pictures, I had a f*%$ing blast with these guys! What a great band and amazing sound. They did a small show at the Victorian on Main St. in Santa Monica. The place had to have been way over capacity, on the second story, and everyone was jumping up and down so much it felt like the building was gonna come down. Their song “Safe & Sound” is unbelieveable, gotta check it out. Actually all their stuff is great, here’s a link to their soundcloud:
Most New Yorkers make it a rule to avoid Times Square like the plague, but damn it looks good at dusk.
PS the Betsy Johnson after party was the best of fashion week. Just one man’s opinion, but she’s really built her world and her world certainly knows how to do an NYC party right.
Milly 2012 - I’ve been slowly learning to love Milly. Mostly it’s a trust thing, they’ve only been around a short time comparably, but I must say that Michelle Smith really impressed me again with her Fall 2012 collection. The design, color, craftsmanship, were all first rate to me. Everything looked interesting and of high quality. Anyway, a few of my favs - literally shot these to have a reference to hand to a stylist. Hope you’ve got extra sample pieces for shoot pulls this season Michelle!
I walked by these the whole of fashion week and when I finally stopped to appreciate is when I realized how amazing some were. My picks.
Back from 2012 the Abyss! It’s been a crazy busy new year with travel and new projects, I’ve been shooting constantly and finally getting a chance to share it. It’s nuts that we’re already a quarter way through this new year, where the hell did it go. And it’s hot in NYC aready. What the hell! Does this mean it’s going to be a disgustingly hot summer????
One great moment in 2012 so far - The Mandel Brothers cutting it up at Piano’s in the LES. Definitely favorite Thursday night spot. Plus a great burger… Bang!
Looking back on the good times with friends in 2011 I’ve realized what an amazing year it was. Just a few priceless faces from the end of the year. C’mon 2012, you’ve got some big shoes to fill.
Zink Magazine - A few out-takes and behind the scenes shots from the ‘My Crowd’ editorial I shot for Zink Magazine out later this month. The idea was to take local taste-makers here in NYC (djs, bloggers, artists, models, directors, actors, LES socialites, etc…) and shoot them all at a New Years party together. …So obviously I just had a party at my studio and invited all 35 of them over. Actually we had to stagger them in two groups because my studio just can’t handle 35 people for very long. I think it was hardest on the styling team and my assistants who had to maneuver lights and equipment in a cramped space. But a photographer expected to create that type vibe, I’ve gotta say, if it were much less crowded in the studio, it would have been more difficult to keep the energy going. We had a little overlap for an hour in the afternoon so we could get some images of everyone going ape-shit together and what da’ya know, it worked. Don’t think my neighbors were too happy that night though.
Thanks to Ni’ma Ford extraordinaire and her styling/production/everything else team; would never have managed without you : )
PDN Magazine - Just found out I won Photo District News’ best portrait of an artist contest for an image I shot of Kesha.I wanted to present her without her masked stage persona, just as the beautiful young woman that she is.
Totally had my little Vanilla Ice running-man moment in the living-room, go Marco go Marco go Marco, go, go, go.
Coney Island Mermaid Parade - It’s Freezing in NYC and I’m feeling nostalgic for all the good times this past summer. Definitely a good one : )
