sunny, breezy, quiet...
Good morning, Brooklyn. Happy 4th of July.

had the chance to work with an old friend the other day... i've known this dude since i was 10 years old and i last saw him when i was 17.  i'm glad our paths crossed again, it was great fun reconnecting and working with someone that i knew when i was a kid.  for those of you who are fans of Project Runway, you'll probably recognize the guy in the middle of this photo. i remember him as the kid i sold my skateboard to when i was 12, you probably remember him as a contestant on season 4 of Project Runway. 

keep a look out for Kevin's soon to be released creations (and the accompanying campaign)...



Thanks to Traci, Kevin, and Gage (and the rest of the gang) for making the shoot fun...

everything changes... and somehow, some things never change.

found this old photo. it's actually a composite made up of about 250 photos (the full sized composite is huge in resolution; to give you a better idea, that little red square below is the size of each exposure).



i got commissioned for a three week shoot in europe back in 2003 (paris, milan, and london) and while i was there, i did a bunch of these composite photos of landmarks and random areas of the cities and i completely forgot that i had them! i happen to just come across this one on my hard drive the other day. i think i made a gigantic print for an ex-girlfriend once and haven't looked at them since. what a waste! it doesn't take much photographic skill to take these photos, to be honest. just a lot of patience during (taking one exposure at a time) and after (when you have to stitch it all together).

maybe i can make a panoramic print of this and tape it to the outside of my window so i can wake up in the morning and pretend that this is my view...?
