swell photo blog

I wanted to make a diorama

...like in Esquire magazine. It took so long! But I did learn a few things:

1. I need sharper scissors.

2. I love spray glue.

3. Rarely do I take a photo that is not cut off in some way- which makes looking for images for a diorama difficult :)

Saturday + snow = practicing my InDesign skills :)

William Eggleston show at the Art Institute in Chicago

I'm so excited it's almost time...starts February 27th, 2010. Please don't miss it- you'll be so sad if you do...

 

All of the above images are copyright William Eggleston. The one below is a photo of him taken by Juergen Teller...I think it was in W- but don't quote me on that...

In other news- look how much I'm blogging today...crazy :)

run fast Pierre Garcon!

Pierre  was part of the Singles feature I shot for Indianapolis Monthly (so nice!)- and he's playing in the Super Bowl this weekend! Fun fast Pierre- good luck! Get lots of touch downs :) Photographed with him is KJ Testin --super nice and talented country singer :)

fffflickr

I may be behind...I usually am, but if you haven't played with fffflickr yet you should. It's so fun...

And look what I found there (by dinovitch)- I love this photo so much :) That's my favorite color of blue too...

Indianapolis Monthly- the singles

Some tears from the February issue of Indianapolis Monthly- which I shot and T'ai styled- yay.Pick one up if you can.  It was great to meet all of the featured singles- they were all really nice and interesting. can't wait for the party!

wonder if this will work-adding video

I seriously should probably not embed this- it's very rough, but I have to see if it will work... and why is it so tiny? And what did I do to make that black border show up? hm

Beautiful day

I took some polaroids this morning while shooting Tai's beautiful day concept...they are just like magic. Press all the levers- get your tripod squared up- see if anything is in focus if you can- press the big red button- then pull the little tab- then pull the big tab...count to about 70 and peel...magic :)

Oh- forgot this behind the scenes one too...Yanna is the model and T'ai did all the styling (but i made the eggs:)...more to come from this shoot...

old and new
