LIVE, WORK, CREATE. TRASH!

So I've been spending the last couple of nights at Gabriel and Sabrina's and I thought as a gift to them for letting me crash at their awesome pad, I'd print some photos, hang them in their bathroom, make flyers and tell everyone about it. So check it out.

JESUS LOVES A GOOD HOT ROD

ADAM FROM LA OTRACINA

I met Adam one day when I needed an awesome man with a van. He filled both requirements. We've hung out a few times since then and realized that both of our first bands played on a compilation from like 15 years ago. Crazy stuff. So now he plays in La Otracina, a wild space ride of a band from here in Brooklyn. The other photos are of an installation of sorts on the dashboard of his sweet ass van.

ANGEL IN AMERICA

So my parents took my little niece, Angel on a month long road trip to the end of the world and back. And they gave Angel her own Kodak Easy Share point and shoot digital camera that even takes video! So with out further ado, Angel in America....

CAROLINE LIKE'S TO DANCE!

Me, not so much.

DEADBEAT CLIENTS BEWARE!!!

For all you clients out there that supposedly 'don't have the money' or whatever excuse you have, I got a posse now. It's me and Connor and his water gun...And you're going down suckas.

THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT

I think I totally shot more photos of the kids at Emily's and Adam's wedding than I did of Emily and Adam. Sorry dudes, there were just so many awesome kids running around having fun. I had to take their photos.

LITTLE MONSTER'S NOT SO LITTLE ANYMORE.

Man oh man is Connor all growed up or what. I shot this at the rehearsal of Emily and Adam's wedding. What a cool dude.

EMILY GOT ALL HITCHED UP!

Congratulations to Emily and Adam on their marriage and their awesome wedding and their awesome little guy, Connor, my favorite little monster.

STILL LIFE TEST SHOOT

Here's a few images from a recent test I did with a good friend of mine, Dani Fisher. I haven't done much of this kind of photography but it was interesting and I guess all this work with Lucy has been rubbing off on my. Dani just moved to LA, so all you West Coast magazines and photographers need to hire her. Or maybe you shouldn't, then she'll come back to New York.

SIMPLY MEXICAN WITH LOURDES CASTRO

I assisted Lucy shooting the Simply Mexican cookbook with Lourdes Castro. It came out in April but I totally dropped the ball in mentioning it sooner. It was a sweet and savory three days working with Lourdes and learning ways to cook Mexican simply. I even got an old school shout out in the book. Congrats to Lourdes on the book, and to Lucy for the great photos.

RROBOTS PAINTING

I bought this painting by RROBOTS at the Eastern District group show, Plenty of Room On the Couch. I finally got to pick it up today and I love it.

JULY 19, 2009...TONIGHTS DINNER

ONE MINUTE FILM FEST 7 - 2009

This years one minute film fest hosted by Jason Simon and Moyra Davey was interrupted by rain. But other than that it was a good time. And there were a lot of great films. Unfortunately, my film didn't air due to technical difficulties (stupid iDVD), so I wanted to put it up to show everyone that I did make one. I don't think I'll bring it to next years' fest just because it has meaning now and it was one minute in time in the Summer of 2009. Hopefully I won't feel that same way come Summer of 2010.

I included a few photos I shot during the festivities, including Mark manning the Martini station, as he always does. And I managed to capture one half way decent shot of the the barn, a film and lightning all in the same exposure. But not too well.

Hopefully whatever film I do next year will actually make it to the fest.

I AM HERE BUT WHERE IS AMY?

JULY 4TH, 2009

NEW BLOOD WITH AARON PIERCE

Spent an hour with Aaron Pierce today, shot some photos, had some iced coffee, talked some football. Good times.

CSA / CAFE CARIBE

My roommate, Christina is part of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). She was out of town this week, so I went to pick it up. They wanted to give me more than this but I was riding my bike, so I went light. I've already fried up the squash, onions and zucchini, if that is a zucchini. And I got a kohlrabi, which I have to figure out what to do with.

And, if you don't know about Cafe Caribe, it's the best coffee you're ever going to get for 3 for $5. That's right. 3 cans or 3 bricks for $5. Gotta love it. Awesome coffee in an awesome container.

BRICKS ARE HEAVY!!!

Riding the L home from work yesterday, I was right next to door L7 on the train. Got me thinking about the original L7. Man, when I was 17 they were the bomb. I got to see them a few years later at one of the Lollapalooza's and they did not disappoint.

JUNE 30, 2009, SPINACH AND MUSHROOM QUASI-QUESADILLA GOODNESS

While I'll never be mistaken for a food stylist, this photo still makes my mouth water. It's got mushrooms, spinach, roasted corn, cilantro, tomato, queso cotija, crema, valentina hot sauce, a pepper and a lime. So freaking good. And there's still one left over in the fridge. Michael better eat it before I get a chance to.

JUNE 30, 2009, COOK STREET, BUSHWICK

Sometimes, you could spend hours, days or weeks, trying to make a great photo and sometimes, you just walk right by, on your way to the laundromat. And unfortunately you only have your cellphone on you. By the way, Blackberry Pearls take horrible photos. But I still love this, old broken 45 hanging from a barbed wire fence. How does that even happen?

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF CHAUNCEY

GO STUDIOS

On Monday I assisted Gemma Comas on a shoot at Go Studios. It was the first time I had ever been there. The studio was real nice, new kitchen, great light, and an awesome staff that was there to take care of all of our issues. They have equipment to rent if you ever need it. If you have any questions give Sarah a ring at 212.564.4084.

CHAUNCEY AKA FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON AKA PROFESSOR CARROT

Chauncey is the newest member of 207. He was a little stand-offish when my roommates, Michael and Mimi, got him, which is what he's doing in this first photo. He eventually warmed up to the point where he feels it's ok to chew on my speakers. He's pretty awesome.

MAMMATUS CLOUDS OVER NEW YORK

I didn't know what Mammatus clouds were until I saw one and then got on the old Wikipedia and learned a little bit. Pretty interesting stuff. This shot was the last of the night, a few seconds later and the show was over. Pretty wild.

FORT GREENE FLEA MARKET

This is the first time I've been to the Fort Greene flea market and it rocked out. A lot of cool art and used/vintage things. Everything from found photos to Spongebob watches. And they have these crazy good quesadillas with spinach and mushrooms! And lemonade! MJ was playing on the turntable a lot. Watching little kids dance to that was kind of weird. But awesome.

PETER COLE!!!

I've talked about Peter's amazing art before, but he also is a purveyor of fine vintage things. He sells his wares at the Fort Greene Flea Market on Saturdays and in DUMBO on Sundays.
