Here’s a promo I directed for the Wu-Tang Clan. The most recent album is called Legendary Weapons. Cop that disc, nahmean!
After shooting Joe Carini’s beautiful carpets, me and Scott talked about the business of creativity. Booming as it is, there are always doubts, cracks. Which is when you gird yourself up with friends and conversation. And, in this case, french fries.

Chinatown remains one of my favorite places to shoot photographs in the city. Maybe it’s because it feels dense and gritty the way New York is supposed to feel. Or maybe it’s because of how intensely foreign it feels at times. On Saturday, because of Manhattanhenge, the streets were particularly fetching.

Thursday was a good one for shooting portraits of “L” people at the office. Liz needed a grown-up photo for an upcoming book show and asked if I’d take one — which I did, in exchange for beer. Later that day, Logan stopped by and the afternoon light was just too much to pass up. Lucky me.

Allison Caviness is the most stylish person I know. You’ll never know, but we were standing on a table when these were shot.

Sitting with the actor and comedian Michael Blaustein the talk was about originality, credit, and plagiarism. Comedy and jazz have different things to say about those topics. Backlight on the scene was provided by the Thom Mayne designed New Academic Building at the Cooper Union.

Having a camera is like having a passport. It’s an excuse to look at things, and sometimes to be invited into people’s lives. Here are two fun shots from the last month.
G-Go is a young rapper and producer from Brooklyn. We met on the train and talked for a second about my camera before I snapped this shot.
The other is from the Apollo Theater where I was shooting red carpet for the Power to End Stroke awards. The guy pictured was just kind of looking over the shoulder of all the photo and video people. He followed his interest, I followed mine.
