Taboo of Color

I recently went into Taboo to get some blue and pink in my hair. Done by the amazingly talented Aaron Blackburn. I'd been thinking about creating a stained glass look in my hair for a couple of years, and finally mustered up the courage to do it. Gill Hodgson, the fearless leader over at Taboo was inspired and co created with Aaron on some amazing looks.

Growing Roots and Spreading Wings

I had a great shoot with Sandy Glass who is a lovely photographer/actor/Jazz enthusiast. Back in the day he rubbed elbows with so many of my heroes including Irving Penn, Alexy Brodovitch, Richard Avedon and Bert Stern. I drank up his stories while I photographed him in my studio with my daughter along side. Gill Evans played over Pandora Radio. I saw this random fake plant at Bed Bath and Beyond when I was styling the shoot and couldn't resist. It was just the right touch to complete the story.

Global Yodel

Jesse Weinberg contacted me a couple of months ago offering to feature my work on her lovely visual travel blog, Globel Yodel. Her philosophy is:

TRAVEL THROUGH A LOCAL LENS.

"Global Yodel is based on one simple idea: ones home is another’s destination.

This website explores the places and cultures of our globe, from the perspective of someone who really knows their spot, the local. This place-specific gallery, travel guide and artist showcase is as practical as it is just plain fun."

I was stumped for a while and finally created a collage with a Cassandra Church as Frida Kahlo shot with an everyday scene of Santa Monica Pier. It was a fun exercise coming up with something interesting in my own backyard. I actually had to get away to the desert and shoot there, in order to find my inspiration back home.
