p.s. scanning hi re takes forEVER....i'm really wishing that i had a few more scanners to run at the same time....it'd be like doubling down on enlargers in the darkroom...which i used to love doing- for the efficiency.

a little at a time..

i know i've been slacking on my updates here, it's just that i've been terribly busy+barely home as of late...but i want to let you know about two very exciting things that are happening this week.

1. a photograph of mine (of chris grassi, shot at the madonna inn last fall) was chosen to be included in the Humble Arts Group Show #36....(+given that i've applied to it a few times, it's beyond FANTASTIC to finally have been chosen!!)

2.EXPOSURE opens tomorrow at THIS los angeles..
it's a group show full of wonderful work and great boobies...the show was put together by the dear+talented magda wosinska in accordance with the launch of her (super radical) book BITE IT YOU SCUM...see more on her in this great interview on camerabag.tv


i have to say i am lucky enough to have a great crew of friends who not only model for me (constantly!) but were endlessly helpful in the preparation for this show.. critiquing+editing (mi senor, mercedez, rachel, chris+all the csf-ers at pete van leeuwen's bbq a month ago or so), tirelessly contributing to the retouching, printing+layout (xabi), and last but certainly not least-my amazing LA hosts (suzanne+orlando) for bringing a little OCD to the hanging process...cause had i been left to my own devices-it's likely that this jazz would've been jauntily leveled;)
THANK YOU DANKE MERCI GRACIAS FOREVER ALL!!


anyhoo..if you are in LA tomorrow, please come to the opening...it will be followed by an extremely awesome afterparty at magda's casa...+if you can't make it-the show will be up for a few weeks..so stop by during opening hours..

we swaddled them in stars and stripes and crossed our fingers.

a raucous good ole july 4th weekend...unexpectedly spent in LA+not on our roof. (apologies again to those who called+texted at the door 3000 miles away when i didn't answer the buzzer;)

while it was awesome+full of goodness, those dodger stadium fireworks ain't got shit on the river jams..just saying, the right side is still just that for some things.

the night began beautifully yet ended in a slam.

now, i'm waaaay behind on this here blog+thus, i'm only just now finally telling you that the open ocean show at secret project robot was mad good-these gals just keep getting better and looking hotter..the experience was made all the more complete with fireworks and babes aplenty...


+speaking of these righteous babes...

the stylish and stunning bassist, accessories editor, artist and all around sweetheart, miss sarah kuhn, has gone ahead and designed the most covetable camera straps i've EVER seen!!!

i mean, you know i love some chanel+am never without my camera..so, here, now i present you with the genius (and remarkably affordable) SFK camera straps..go to her site and order one or ten! i'm eagerly waiting on the classic gold and black but am seriously considering the turquoise and silver as an awesome alternate.
