I sure didn’t.  Getting ready for 7-day assignment.  For these kinds of assignments, the biggest question is not film vs digital, it’s “x-ray bag or hand check.”


Also, check out my espresso-cataloging efforts over on the tumblr.  As I leave the espresso capital of the East coast (ie Brooklyn) for the Great American West, the thing I’ll miss the most is my espresso machine.  This is a tribute to you, my espressos.

Marriage.  Check.

Honeymoon.  Check.

Pasta, pizza, gelato.  Check.

Now back to work. . . .

A couple weeks ago, Stephen Pierson sent me an email introducing his publication, Canteen, to me.  (Sidenote; I didn’t realize I was now on the list of “bloggers/photographers that matter.”  Cool!  I’ve officially arrived.  Please send more free stuff people!) The site looked great.  The contributors are on point.  They look like they’re doing cool stuff.  Also, if you’re in Brooklyn on Thursday, check out the Canteen issue Six launch party:
Party for Issue Six
August 19, 7-10 p.m., powerHouse Arena, 37 Main St., Brooklyn, NY
Our photo contest exhibition party will be held at powerHouse Arena in DUMBO. See the winning photos, enjoy cocktails courtesy of Bulldog Gin, listen to the tunes of Hank & Cupcakes, and get flash portfolio critiques from artist Arthur Ou.

I got a couple of their magazines last week and I’m even more impressed.  The photos look diverse, well-curated, and beautiful.  The printing looks fabulous.  They also have all these other things everywhere – I believe they call them words, or something.  I’m sure they meeeaaan something, but you know, I’m no smarty pants.

No but really, Canteen seems like something you want to sit down with for an hour or two and leisurely digest it.  Preferably here.  Some photos to encourage you guys to pick one up:

Francesco Millefiori. “Sandpit: Bagheria, Italy.” 2007
Rowan James.
Martin Kollar – Nothing Special.  I really like Martin’s work.  I tumblred him a few weeks ago.

So please excuse the lack of posting here.  I’ll be more active over on Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter as I find them quick and don’t require too much writing.

But for now, enjoy a couple photos from wedding weekend by Jody Rogac.

Polaroids forever!!!

Fort Tilden.  Only a bike ride away.  Get some roast beef sandwiches on the way back!

Recently, I was asked to photograph a group of Veterans taking part in Operation Free for On Earth Magazine.  Operation Free is coordinating a nationwide bus tour with Veterans speaking out against our addiction to oil.  They’ve returned from Iraq and Afghanistan and have seen, first hand, the effect of our addiction to oil.   They’re spreading the word on climate change, clean energy, etc.  Basically, they’re my new heroes.  See the full article here.

Here are some of the portaits:

I’ve been getting some killer postcards in the mail recently.  Please people keep ‘em coming.

The last postcard I got was a special one.  Graham and Nathanael are graduating!  Congrats dudes, looking forward to seeing you in New York.

Here are some other recent ones Graham has sent me.  My man always comes CORRECT!
