Etsy and Me

The moment you've been anticipating with bated breath and manic impatience has arrived. I have an Etsy shop. I'm selling B&W prints of a series I shot, and am continuing to shoot, of ficus trees around Culver City and L.A. The pictures examine the trees in terms of volume and mass and their urban setting.
Tell a friend.

Thank you, Sharon.

Page Relief Pt. 2

Here's a Polaroid of the relief at the Page Museum, (see below) shot a couple of years ago. Don't know who the kid in this picture is, but I'm sure he's not recognizable enough to sue me.

You Be the Monkey

Photo Booth #2

Jed set me up with another photo booth opportunity, this time at a CD release party for Janet Klein and her Parlor Boys. With foredrops created by David Barlia, we recreated Coney Island at the Steve Allen Theater.
Sort of. This unsavory character wouldn't give his name, but did share knowledge of this with us, and for that we are grateful.
More photos from this fun event coming soon.

Alpine Explorations

One of about 150 Polaroids I shot at the Velsalavasay Panorama's Grand Unveiling Saturday night. Paula painted a magical backdrop; Jed came up with the concept--and pulled Polaroids; Eva supplied brilliant costumes and helped everyone get them just right. Sara, Mary Jane, Oswaldo and Jaun set up the wonderful landscape.

If you happen to know someone who was there and has a Polaroid from our studio, please ask him/her to scan it and send me a copy. I would be ever so grateful.

One more thing: If you enjoy seeing beautiful things, pay the Panorama a visit. You will not be disappointed.

Alpine Fotostudio

There's going to be an Alpine Fotostudio Saturday July 21, 2007, at the Grand Unveiling of the Effulgence of the North Panorama at Los Angeles' one and only Velaslavasay Panorama. Yours truly will be manning the camera and there will be perfomances by Tony Hartenstein and alphorn player Loren Marsteller, among others.
A night not to be missed. Even for busy urban homesteaders/writers on deadline.

Random Polaroid 002

The Birthday Robots

One of my favorite films ever is a short titled "Max Is Four." To watch it is to know cinematic perfection. Here are the film's stars and creators. Photographing them was incredibly fun, and it was also a great privilege, as I'm a big fan of what they do.
