On a separate note - some of what I've been cooking up has leaked out into the world.  Read this lovely little article about how things have come together at the Belljar, and how my music series started with Daniel Lanois.  Pretty neat to hear it reflected back.

Honest Ed's - Duets

When I shot the "Duets" piece at Honest Ed's a few months back with Worn Fashion Journal, it hadn't been announced that the end was near for the historic business. As I passed through the hidden passageways of the building I felt there were many more stories to be told about this place and those who had kept it going since 1948.

Most of my memories are of my Great Grama Rose coming to visit from Los Angeles and just going bananas over how great the deals were.. She always had her eyes on the "BEST DEALS IN TOWN!", was pretty comical, and easily as much of a character as Honest Ed was himself.

Living in Print - Behind the scenes

I always love behind the scenes videos of shoots I've been involved in, what took us a full day to shoot replays in mere moments and all the best moments are there to invoke memory.



Taking full advantage of the unique details and beauty of the new offices of Worn Fashion Journal, here's a look behind the scenes during the photo session of Living in Print, Issue 16.

Fresh off the Press: Worn Fashion Journal - Issue 16
