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...
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...
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...
YARN BOMB LOS ANGELES!! MAGDA SAYEG FOR THE WALL...
Last month Rebecca Horne at The Wall Street Journal gave me a dream assignment: shoot Magda Sayeg for the WSJ Weekend. Sayeg, also known as “Knitta Please,” is known for yarn bombing, or covering objects in public space with colorful knitted sheaths. She’s covered a municipal bus in Mexico City, a staircase in Sydney, and countless lamp posts and parking meters across the US. ...
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO TRAILER EDITOR...
A few weeks ago I got to visit the house that movie trailers built: Mark Woollen’s Santa Monica office. Woollen is one of Hollywood’s most sought-after movie trailer editors, and the wall covered in shelves brimming with awards gave me some idea of how successful he’s been.
I mean, his first large-scale feature trailer was “Schindler’s List.” He did it...
!!!!!!!!!New Year's News!!!!!!!!!!! "28 at 28"...
Just got word from Nextspace LA that they’d like to keep the show up for a month longer than previously planned. I absolutely had to oblige! It will now be on view through the end of February. Passers-by and Nextspace members have continued to relate positive feedback on the show over the last two months it’s been up — and that’s been incredible for me.
If you’re...

Videogame kingpin turns actor
When I saw “Moneyball” back in September my curiosity was piqued when I recognized the man playing the owner of the beleaguered Oakland A’s opposite Brad Pitt: it was Bobby Kotick, the CEO of Activision, who I’d photographed three years prior for Fortune. I didn’t know he acted —I thought he was busy making games like “Call of Duty”— so of...

28 at 28 Artist Statement
After the months of posting from the 28 at 28 series, I thought you might want to read about the intention behing the project. My statement follows:
“28 at 28 is an ongoing annual portrait series documenting my peers.
I sensed a turning point in my late 20s. Those around me were making strides in their careers, becoming prolific in their artwork, finding partners, buying homes, and having...
