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.

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.
