sarA lov's new video

You may remember Sara from some previous blog posts. I had the good fortune to photograph her a couple of months back at her house in L.A.

Well Sara just put out a new video for the song "A Thousand Bee's" from her latest release "Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming" that I think is pretty special and wanted to pass along. The video is made up of 4000 still photos pieced together. I love the sparseness, look and concept of this video. And of course, the song.

You can watch the video here. And you can find more information about Sara and her new cd on her website here.

The last of Susan



Here are the last of the images of Susan that I am going to post. There are others that I really like but I don't want to overdo it. In several of the images I'm amazed at how different Susan can look without really trying. Her whole look changes by putting on a pair of sunglasses or pushing her hair up.

I was so glad to have access to this setting. If anyone out there gets word of an abandoned apartment or other interesting locales, feel free to pass them along to me. I would be most appreciative.

Portrait Photography Series #21 (susan)


I had an opportunity to photograph in an abandoned apartment the other day. I had been talking to Susan about us doing some photos together a couple of days prior. Once I walked through the door of this place, I knew I had to shoot a portrait here. I immediately called Susan and we decided to shoot the next day.

Susan is a wonderful subject. She is beautiful, loves to dress up and is at ease in front of the camera. She showed up with this amazing blue dress that worked out really well for the photos. I love how it goes perfectly with that bare mattress.

There were so many fantastic shots that I'll post a couple on different days this week to the blog. A big thank you to Susan for collaborating on this shoot.

Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction

I went to go and see Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction the other night at the Erwin Center. I must say that I haven't been to an arena show in quite a number of years. The spectacle and theatricality of it all was kinda mind-blowing. Nevermind the fantastic sound and killer sets by both bands. In this photo Trent Reznor works the crowd.

Portrait Photography Series #18

A big congratulations to Jen and Jeff on the birth of Karlo. You are going to be two amazingly cool parents.

Stella and I hung out with Jen the other day and took some photos. This is one of my favorites from a pool of many. Jen is terribly awesome. And also a very talented painter. You can check out her work here.
