Here are pictures I shot in New York last month; more to follow.

Jason Polan in NYC

I photographed Jason Polan in New York a few weeks ago, and it looks like he drew me as well. He’s on a mission to draw every person in New York; he also once drew all the people in People.

Nate Wooley portrait

Trumpeter Nate Wooley, shot in Brooklyn on October 11th, just before he played a gig with Canada Day. This is for a series I’m doing on imrov musicians. I’ve been loving shooting at night with only available light–challenging but fun. Here his main light is coming from a storefront window. More NYC pictures soon, been (thankfully) working like crazy.

OK, last Taos picture for a while–here’s the alluring Kristin on her Harley. More about the project in these last two posts, and pictures from last year’s New Mexico trip here.

Insightful and wisecracking Tuk, another lovely Taoseño I shot last week for Black and Gold, a film in progress by Diane Izzo and Marco Zas. Pt. 1 is here.

Film project in Taos, New Mexico

For the last 5 days I’ve been in Taos, shooting stills and video with my friends Diane Izzo and Marco Zas. They’re making a film with the working title Black and Gold. Here’s a picture of Vincente Martinez, one of the fabulous Taoseños we shot. More to follow.

Frank Ockenfels 3 Workshop: Cult of the Silver Card

newberry — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 18:04:13 +0000

I had an incredibly inspiring workshop last week with the fabulously gifted and imaginative photographer Frank Ockenfels 3. Ockenfels bestowed each of us with a 2′ square silver card and sent us to Home Depot to scrounge together whatever hardware light sources we found interesting. I’m not at liberty to discuss the remaining depraved, bizarre rituals that he inflicted upon us, but l can say that our mantra was “less light” and that the mystical and enigmatic “starting a conversation” incantation was used liberally. All of us attendees got along swimmingly and had a great time over the 3 and a half day class. In the evenings we watched fascinating presentations with great photographers including Douglas Kirkland, Jock Sturges, Ockenfels, Joel Meyerowitz, Kenro Izu, and Ed Kashi. Really illuminating and energizing.

Here are a few photos I shot at the workshop.
