Horrors

I went to see the Horrors play at Music Hall of Williamsburg last Friday. I've seen the Horrors play about 12 times over the past four years. Their shows are better and better each time. They've grown to be such a tight band, and their new album is really really good.

Shingai from The Noisettes in the new Nylon. She is a really cool chick! It was the second time I shot her. The first time she wore little race cars in her hair. Adorable.

Look who I ran into in Central Park on my way to the Wild Things Premiere~

Wild Things

Everyone go see Where The Wild Things Are this weekend.. It's beautiful, and there's something in it for everyone. Honestly, I was lucky enough to see the NYC premiere, and it happened to fall on the one year anniversary of my dear friend, Jesse Valentine's death. He was a sweet soft and furry lovable guy, and at one moment in the film, I bawled my eyes out. It felt good.

ABC No Rio

I've lived in the lower east side for 10 years, and there's always been one place you could rely on to see or make art.. where there's a darkroom and screenprinting, where you can checkout real punk shows, a place that never turned into a little boutique or a sports bar: Art always lived there, and luckily still will! Abc No Rio was threatened to be torn down by the city and thank fuckin god the people stood up and said, "This place is important. We need it! Nyc needs it."And somehow the city granted them $1.65 Million to rebuild the space and preserve the independent arts center. This is beyond awesome. So last week they had a wake for the building that will be torn down (the bldg is condemned), but will be rebuilt for the same use with the same intentions. They dangled some sort of fabric off the roof into the coffin on the street, then we all marched around the neighborhood behind the coffin. It was a very special moment.

Thee Oh Sees

Thee oh sees were great at Mercury Lounge. They actually got NYers dancing!

Fashion

I've been shooting more fashion stories lately, switching up my lighting. It's a new season. Refresh. Refresh.

Atlantic City Roadtrip!

Last night I went out to some fashion parties, and the most interesting chick of the night was at a gas station on the street..

Matthew Williamson for CITY

I have a new photo in City magazine of a great designer, Matthew Williamson.

TV

I'm pretty sure I can post these now.. I shot these up in Bear Mountain for that Bravo Tv show. I love animals. :)

Islands

The new Islands' album art I shot was just released. The music is really good and catchy.

I have lots of new work I hope to update soon from shoots with The Noisettes, Amerie, Wolfmother and more! But for now, here's a cute pic of my little brother, Adam Aleksander at a cool 24 hour restaurant in Chinatown.

Bat For Lashes at Webster Hall

She has a beautiful voice and a very kind soul.
I photographed her awhile back and she was sweet as pie.
