Things to do in Reno when you're bored...

Some quick photos from a sleepless night this week just before my departure home. Reno is a modern ghost town in the making - deserted streets and half-lit signs comprise a disparate landscape of glitz and despair...

A few new things - more to come tomorrow...

In lieu of the impending major website update, I wanted to share some recent tears and outtakes:

From a recent Washington Post Magazine 6 page story on a rare record collector in Baltimore - Ian Nagoski.

Above: Some recent photos from the Nevada Brothels book.

A new story for Maxim where our fearless yet scrawny writer attempts to train with Dallas Cowboys lineman DeMarcus Ware - in Dallas... in August.

Christina Kim, Professional Golf and Sundance winner 'Catfish'

Some of my favorite outtakes from recently published stories...

Christina Kim, the bad-ass of the Women's PGA Golf Tour for the Wall Street Journal.

The documentary that cleaned up a Sundance this year, Catfish, is a mythical and haunting epic that leaves you questioning your own reality and excited at the possibilities of cinema. I worked with the two directors and star of the film for a crazy hour of four locations and harassment by various midtown security guards...

At left, directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. At right, documentary subject Yaniv Schulman.
 

"A Witty Title for Some Random Things..."

A really fun shoot with the band Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt for Paper this month - no pigeons (or bears) were harmed in the production of this photograph.

This month's Paper Magazine Fashion Spread - Fashion Editors Luigi Tadini and Zandile Blay sport their favorite looks of the summer. Also a few favorites that didn't make the mag:

Got this a few months ago and forgot to post...

A page from "Flight 93 Remembered,"a publication for the now National Park on the site where Flight 93 went down on September 11th, 2001.

Here are a few adoptable dogs from my recent still/video commercial shoot for Dog Habitat - the rescue from the owners of "Unleash Brooklyn" and "District Dog." We had a challenging but fun time moving the subjects through our mini-studio. If you're interested in adopting, or know someone else who might be, forward on this page and contact Carola or Rob here:

Bang Art features the Nevada Brothels Project...

Really excited - the Italian Fine Art Magazine ran a spread about my Nevada Brothels project:

Now if I could just wrap up that proposal...

Check 'Portfolio II' on my website for more recent photos from Nevada.

...impressed. If ever there existed a stereotype of the photographer that prefers to STAY on one side of the camera, it would be me. I just got some copies of this illustration from PDN's magazine: Emerging Photographer. They had interviewed me a while back about what music I like to play on shoots and why - it was a really fun story to participate in. I assumed I'd be one of 20 in a little box on the bottom of the page... What I didn't realize was they were going to illustrate me. I think this is totally awesome, and I am sure you will get a good laugh from it for many reasons. It is such an honor to be included in PDN's pages and I have to say, I've never been "drawn" before. So indulge me in shameless self promo. How did he know I always wear that jacket...?

And thanks to the illustrator who created this- Chris Philpot. Check out his work here: (Click)

Awesome, Chris.

In current news, I'm heading to Texas to shoot NFL Star DeMarcus Ware tomorrow... Stay tuned. And please follow me on Twitter as I attempt to integrate blog, facebook and twitter in some cool interviews, polls and contests!
