Jeff

My friend Jeff is moving to Germany next month. He's selling off hundreds of his books, frames, and darkroom stuff in Chelsea this weekend.


Didn't really do it justice with these poor snaps..there's a bunch of other stuff all signed and in cases and stacked up.


I went down there earlier today and he let me lurk around behind the curtain where they run Errata Editions...

The view out back


The darkroom


Awesome posters and janky lights


Robert Frank test print


The leaky darkroom sink caught my attention..


This took a minute..not so easy with a little point 'n shoot that doesn't fire when you tell it to.


This one took about 5 minutes


This one was just luck


I'm outta town for a few days... back next week

Curtains

People trying to get backstage a few weeks ago

Popular Mechanics Nissan Leaf

Shot this electric car for Popular Mechanics.
Had to get a few static distant shots and some detail shots

A few more wide shots

Print Sale II

A few prints from my Maho Beach project just went up on 20x200.


Thank you so much to all those who bought my Irish photos over the past year and a half. The money went to good use and rest assured that any profit on these will go towards finishing a new project I started this past summer.

Backstage at the Opera

Got a call last week to shoot a dress rehearsal up at the Met for Vogue.com.


The goal was to try and get photographs of soprano Anna Netrebko in costume. Access and available light were limited but I managed to get a couple of cool snaps. I've never been to an Opera before so the whole experience was awesome..

Here's some outtakes I like..






I did get an escort backstage after this photo and it was insane. It goes back like 5 times deeper than what you can see in the front and there were hundreds of people back there making stuff and rehearsing and goofing off.

Popular Mechanics welding test

Shot some welding photos for Popular Mechanics a few months ago. This is the one that ran..




The still life stuff proved to be tricky with just one pocket flash in the dark New Jersey warehouse.


There was a couple pieces of white cardboard bounce laying around so that helped..I think they turned out pretty nice.




I like these assignments because I can be nerdy and ask a lot of dumb ass questions and nobody seems to mind.

Phone call

Backstage last night IV

Some photos from last night's Marc Jacobs show. Really tight security with no backstage access allowed..


..but I did manage to hide up next to the stage and camped out there for the 10 minute show...the curtains pulled back and it was pretty awesome.
