“Tossing caution into the wind and their names into a hat, 20 brave musicians enter the Brooklyn Rock Lottery, where bands are formed, songs are written, and nightmares come true – all in the same day”. -Paul Canie, Nylon Guys – Out Now
View A series of images from the shoot here.
Stoked to have a image from my series “One in a Million” included in issue 6 of SC.
Had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Alix Brown for Jalouse’s article on cooking. We had chicken wings and beers for lunch.. Amazing. The images are on my site here.
With the cancelation of the NY Marathon after Hurricane Sandy tore through the eastern seaboard, many runners from all across the world gathered in Central Park to do the 4 laps that was the original marathon in 1970. It was amazing to see so many people still running the park, some taking their performance seriously, and some just enjoying the afternoon in the park. My assistant Perry and I skated along with the masses, and shot a small portfolio you can view here.
Finish line closed off to runners.

Traveling to Phoenix for Jalouse to document a few days of living at the architect Paolo Soleri’s experimental community Arcosanti was one of the best things I’ve done this year. Amazing architecture, amazing scenery, new friends.. Thank you to everyone I met along the way and thanks Jalouse!
For more images from the trip visit my site for a full web gallery and as well as my tumblr for some outtakes.

I got to hang out with Washington Wizards point guard John Wall for a day for an article in the newest issue of ESPN that is based soley on Washing DC sports. We spent he day at his stadium, apartment, and eventually made it to the Sneaker Ball gala where he had donated some items for charity. Have a look at more of the images on my site, and a few gallery of images from the days events on ESPN’s site as well.
Spent a day last month eating veggies and hanging out with Dr Fuhrman in his New Jersey office. I am positive that he is the one of the most energetic human beings on the planet, and is definitely an inspiration to stay in shape and stay positive.
The author Lee Child as photographed by me for a recent issue of Newsweek. His book Wanted Man is the base for a new action movie staring none other than Tom Cruise. Have look at the trailer for Jack Reacher here.
Shot Logic for XXL last month, stoked to see him poppin off the page in this months issue.

Couple Outtakes:
I recently worked with director Simon Cahn to shoot stills to accompany his casting videos of a handful of artists and musicians for LV’s new line of sunglasses. Here is a link to Louis Vuitton’s dedicated site, and here is a web gallery of images on my site.
I shot the model/designer Dree Hemingway in the line she created for Sandro at the Hotel Americano around the corner from my studio for Jalouse.

Having grown up around a car crazed father, it naturally rubbed off on me. But after selling my car upon my move to New York years ago, I was left with a void in my heart. So getting the call from Tara Klein at Autoweek to drive around in three supercars in and around the city, I was hyped to say the least. Here is a selection of images from those days of cruising around in some amazing cars that three gentleman use as their daily drivers. If you’re wondering which one I would want for myself, it would be the Enzo without a doubt. For the full edit have a look at my site.

Spent the day with Leandra Medine, aka The Man Repeler taking pictures of her and some of her possessions in her upper east side apartment for the latest “Dressings” column for Jalouse. Have a look at the article here.
Got to travel out to Lansing, Michigan to photograph 2011 all around gymnastics champion Jordyn Wieber for the “Next” issue of ESPN Magazine! She was a great sport and went straight into a routine on the beam at 7am. I love the image chosen, but figured I’d share some of the others that didn’t make the cut. Enjoy, and grab an issue on newsstands now!
