GO

This was definitely one of the most fun assignments I’ve had in some time. The MO was to join a family on an eating tour of NYC and document every meal they shared for GO Magazine. The kicker was the kids were 6 and 8 years old, and we were hitting some pretty foodie spots, no children’s menus. [...]

Monocle

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of joining George Lois for lunch at the Four Seasons in NYC. I was there to photograph George for Monocle’s “My Last Meal” column. George has been dinning at the Four Seasons since it first opened in 1959 and the day was filled with stories of the advertising world, his [...]

HHMI Bulletin

Unfortunately Loren Looger is not “real” samurai, but fortunately for the science community, he is one hell of a scientist. In April I headed down to Janella Farm, just outside of Washington D.C to spend the day with the eccentric scientist, Loren Looger for HHMI Bulletin. I shadowed Loren on a typical day at the [...]

All Gone 2011

I just got my hands on the 2011 All Gone. If you’re not familiar with All Gone, it’s kind of like a year book for the most sought after street culture items of the year. The book usually sells out before it’s even released and becomes a collectors item itself. This year I photographed the Harmony Korine + [...]

Site Update: Travel + Leisure

This past July I spent 9 days in India roaming around two of the finest hotels in the world for Travel + Leisure. I’ve done travel stories before but this one was unique because I didn’t leave the hotel for the entire trip. The best way to describe it would be Lost In Translation meets [...]

Site Update: Le Grand Fooding NY

A couple of months ago a rare thing happened, the opportunity to photograph some of the world’s most talented chefs literally landed on my doorstep. Food is one of my top five passions/obsessions and I must say I was just a little excited when I found out this years Le Grand Fooding event “Equisite Corpse” [...]
