Dreaming of Sleep

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.

Santa Monica

Our guardian angel watching over our fair city.

VIVA FRIDA!

This is the first in a series of portraits I'm creating through a collaboration with Palace Costume.
Cassandra Church breathes life into one of my favorite painters, Frida Kahlo.

Air Guitar

I rented this jewel encrusted electric guitar for a shoot I recently did of a female musician.
We weren't able to use it, so I had to shoot it in my studio because I think it's so damn cool.

Christmas in California

Puzzled

I'm feeling a bit like a puzzle these days.
Not sure if life is unravelling or if it's in construction.
Sometimes the two states look similar.
