BAY BOUND

Ready to depart Burbank airport with a destination of San Jose. Shooting for WIRED today (and resisting temptation to make a pun about being wired.) Can’t tell you the story yet but it’ll be out in the March issue.

Q&A with Music + Moxie

There’s a new interview now online with me speaking about 28 at 28 to music writer Kristen Lowman of Music + Moxie. Though music is her purview, I think Kristen sees a connection between the forces motivating the musicians she normally writes about, and the ideals and motivations that push the people in 28 at 28 as they move into their adult lives. Read on and you be the judge! 

Certainly, since music is a huge part of my life, and sets the tone for many of my endeavors, I was absolutely thrilled to learn that a music writer like Kristen connected to the series and wanted to sit down and interview me.

Delivery from Italy

A 1’x1’ envelope came in the mail from Italy yesterday. Not your normal mail. 

My friend Anna Godeassi, a talented artist and graphic designer had sent me a whimsical symbol of life and renewal to welcome in 2012.  

A tree! 

Thank you Anna for going through all the trouble to send this little piece of paper magic my way.  Visit Anna’s site to see more of her work if you think this rocks. 

Good thing the sign was there to advise me.  (Taken with instagram)

ALL VISUAL SLIDESHOW 1/20

Photographers in Los Angeles DO hang out together!  See, for example, the ALL VISUAL slideshow that Henry Diltz and Dola Baroni have organized for the last 3 months.  

Interested?  Me too!  

So I decided to show this Friday.  I’m taking the opportunity to workshop my latest shoots in Lost Hills and get some feedback. And looking forward to contributing artwork to what has been, in the last two events, a wholly excellent time.  Contributing, welcoming, and enjoying ourselves with new friends is how we build community, right? The Forge — 8pm — 2638 Huron St 90065 

Come out if you’re in town.
