A bit ago i matched up with a great, electro pop artists from the UK Edmond Kurkjian. He sent this song to me and it immediately caught my attention and i knew i needed to make a video for it. Here are the fruits of our labor.

Just publishing a new book of my photography. This is a series of images i have been taking & collecting over the years, entitled Love In Unexpected Places. A selection of images that i have captured in which a heart has been present. None of the images were set up or doctored to make a heart, nor did i include any where the “heart” has been drawn or made intentionally.  All of this is happening by chance. I think of it kind of like a “Wheres Waldo” but with hearts…Have a look see and let me know what you think.

Well as many of you know i have been fortunate enough to make the move into shooting and directing motion. This week we actually wrapped shooting a music video. I am currently not allowed to release any details, but the final piece will Air on National TV in April, and judging by the camera crews that have been following us for the past 2 days, i might be seen on the reality TV show it will be airing on. Anyways it was a really good shoot, special thanks to all the crew and support teams that made this possible. Proper thanks to our support team and sponsors will be detailed in a future post.

So i was asked to shoot and direct a piece for a new iPhone app, RECCO. Its a great new app where you recommend (RECCO) restaurants, bars, music, really anything to your friends. Its like a facebook for foodies. So think of something like yelp…you get recommendations from total strangers, who you have no idea if their taste is anything like yours…or your friends. Their tagline says it best, “Trusting Friends is better than trusting strangers”. Check it out, download it to your phone in the app store.

James Butler, a musician, was introduced to by a fellow director, Paul Stone, as a perfect addition to the series. James plays all around the city, but primarily in the SoHo area. Trained as a fine artists, James made reference to how the neck of a guitar was like a #2 pencil, each tools he feels comfortable creating with. James has only been playing guitar for 3 years now, and recently taken his talent out to the streets of NYC. If you see him be sure to say hi, “Be Kind It comes back to You…I Promise” -James Butler

While I was in Atlanta I had the opportunity to see our latest print campaign for Office Max.

Here are some of the images from the store.

The Other night i had the great fortune of shooting this piece with Casey Spooner of FISCHERSPOONER fame.
hope you enjoy

Native To This Land, is a still portrait series i started about 10+ years ago.  Over the years i have traveled to a handful of Pow Wows, set up a studio on the outskirts, and produced portrait of the dancers in their regalia.  Over the years i have created a portfolio of over 75 portraits.  I have exhibited the series in Maryland, Maine and New York City.
This is the first time i have shot motion for the series, and feel that i will be adding this into the continuation of the project.

Needless to say when we got the call from bbdo atmo creative duo joel &
Anna, we were psyched. Past projects from this crew have lead us to get
A tiger costume, hire a hair band, revolutionary war costumes, and this
Time was no exception. The request for a suckling pig has now been added
To the list of props.
