Great publication and a great site.
I don’t watch tv but I guess I should be watching Parks & Rec. Anyone who’s been with me on set/location knows I can relate.
Riitta Ikonen is one of my favorite artists, she also has a mesmerizing accent and says the word “super” more interestingly than anyone I’ve ever met. Here’s images from an afternoon at her favorite Brooklyn beach, see and learn more in my interview at Converse Play here.
I spent some time with Kaya Sorhaindo at Metaprojects’ new offices to get some shots and discuss his latest endeavor, Six Scents Perfume. Check it out at Converse Play here.
Converse has a new blog called “Play” and I’m honored to be a part of it. Starting today, there will be 5 blogs profiling 5 creatives, with each blog representing one of the 5 senses: sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing.
Today, “Play” introduces everyone to one of my favorite people, Maia Lee Ruth. Maia took the time to reinterpret some of my recent photos, check them out here and stay tuned for more profiling and collaborations over the next week or so!

We got to work with friends Kota Shouji and Hitomi Kaneda on a quick shoot during my last visit to Tokyo, here’s some outtakes.
The weather in New York is craaaaazy. Made me think of the last NYC snow storm where I was shooting Saturday Night Live funny man Fred Armisen in and around a Soho rooftop. Lots of laughs and a ton of snow.
Outside.
Inside.
Check out how Fred’s glasses become shades when he gos outside, that’s star power people!
The good people at D Mag in Buenos Aires, Argentina published some of my Tokyo shots and recently sent me this jpeg. Make sure to check out their recent issues online. Thanks for the love Lucre!
A few shots from the AW09 collection Eiichi asked Tyler Askew and myself to create for the Japanese brand Minotaur. Also, the last shots before Taylor McFerrin cut the dreads.
Julie Le joined forces with Lipstick Queen’s Poppy King to create a limited edition fiery cake ball made of red velvet cake blended with spiced cinnamon frosting, dipped in chocolate, & rolled in coconut flakes with a red hot candy in the center.
I took some product shots and ate a ton. If you haven’t tried Julie’s balls you’re missing out, more info here.
I shot this Spring 2010 Video Lookbook for my friend Monihan.

I’d be blown away if more musicians could be this original in the States. An impressive effort by the South African-based trio Die Antwoord! Sociopolitical rhymes, wild cuts and some crazy bass make for some great tracks. Check this video and make sure to see more photos, videos and interviews at their equally impressive website here.
Fujifilm just announced the GF670 Professional medium format folding camera. The foldable camera features 6×6 and 6×7 dual-format shooting for use with 120 and 220 roll film and comes with Fujinon EBC 80 mm lens, coupled rangefinder, exposure compensator, and aperture-priority automatic and manual exposure modes. Oh please yes.
I’m surprised companies are still producing new FILM cameras, very good news indeed.
Ali D. was on hand to help me with a New Era shoot yesterday, here he is letting the ladies know as we got our lighting together. We go back to the days of Underoos so it was great fun having him around.
A belated XMas gift from Miss Julie Le, I love it! The Fujifilm Instax Mini 7S polaroid camera was made famous by my friend Yone and I’ve wanted one ever since my last visit to his studio. Big thanks Julie!!!
I brought it to a product shoot for the good people at Enki on Wednesday, I didn’t shoot still life with it but I did catch Alec, Ro & their kids afterwards.
Just got a great holiday gift from one of my favorite photographers, David Burnett. A signed copy of his recent book Soul Rebel. An Intimate Portrait of Bob Marley. Soul Rebel honors Bob’s 60th anniversary and is a must have for, well, everyone. Bob Marley people! David Burnett!
David is a photojournalist with more than 4 decades of experience covering the news and tempo of our age. He is co-founder of Contact Press Images, the New York-based photojournalism agency now entering its 33rd year.
