My Boston Terrier (Pancake) loves the camera, and my friends love him, and we all love taking trips together. And I love Polaroid film, and my Fuji Fotorama camera, and perfect natural lighting. Going on vacation is always a great excuse for me to work on a creative side-project. Here’s a series I did last [...]
Crunch-time is hitting the studio, and in order to clear my head a bit before diving in to a challenging and rewarding day of production I thought I’d spend a minute with a few favorite Polaroid images from this Summer. I came across these portraits of my father tending to his bees while putting together [...]
So, I got stuck in Irene. The devastation and long-term effects of Hurricane Irene on various parts of New England are truly heartbreaking. People lost their homes, roads are completely out, historical buildings have been washed away, and entire farms are under water. It’s terrible, and I hope the recovery initiative moves quickly and gets [...]
A new favorite image from my ongoing Instant Dog Portrait series with The Impossible Project’s PZ600 instant film. I’ll be teaching a CLASS with The Impossible Project on Aug 28, 2011 at their famed New York gallery space. If you’ve got a soul at all- you’ll be moved by The Impossible Project’s creative drive, fearless [...]
Sometimes I think I can’t cram anything else into my schedule- between a full calendar of Fine Art Dog photography clients, teaching more photography seminars than I’ve ever taught before, and travelling back and forth between SF/LA/NY, my Summer is pretty busy. But I love being busy. I thrive off of it. I think it [...]
I always feel blessed that I can continue being true to my roots as an artist, and maintain momentum as a business. I’ve never sacrificed my style or loyalty to analog photography, and now more than ever I am seeing this dedication being returned to me. And it’s pretty exciting. I’ve got a lot of [...]
I can’t believe a year has already gone by. Can you? Exactly one year ago today I was in the studio with a group of my close friends, sewing and taping and glueing and getting drooled on by some of my favorite dogs in the city. Pulling Polaroids and flashing strobes and laughing and pushing [...]
To celebrate a very exciting, exhausting, and succesful first 1/6th of 2011, I decided to take Monday off, throw the dog in the car, throw a million cameras in the daypack, 3 types of film, snacks for me, snacks for dog, water for me, water for dog, doggie bowl, 27 layers for me, 1 layer [...]
My very very secret stash of original Polaroid T-669 film is quickly dissapearing. My cameras keep eating it. In order to make it last longer, I’ve hidden expired packs of this revered film in easily-forgotten places: the back of my vegetable drawer, under files in my file cabinet, inside boxes in my trunk, sealed in [...]
I recently returned from a whirl-wind tour of the East Coast (my stomping grounds). I spent a week in New York City, schmoozing various galleries and animal rescue groups. Had a great meeting with my good friends at The Impossible Project. Bought my first fully custom suit (a modern black cut with red pinstripe lining!!) [...]
