I love selfies

Growing up I was always overweight. When I got older I discovered a side effect of being overweight, i no one ever takes photos of you. Not sure what that did to my self esteem but it definitely made me a fan of the selfie.  About a year ago I started experimenting with selfies using my Canon Rebel 2Ti and a tri-pod. Inspired by LA based photography collective The Imps of Marge & Fletch I decided to start adding items to my pictures. I love creating richly layered photos that hopefully makes the audience wonder "what is this guy up too."
Milk in a boot, the Zack Morris cell, a cigarette machine and a coffin. Oh yeah the pants are Obey and the hat is Y&R.

  Growing up in Alaska I always had a fascination with guns which seems to show up in my photos.

 I love this La Marzocco shirt, the blue really makes my eyes pop!

This vintage chair is one of my favorite things in the world, my buddy was moving and was going to throw it out. Another fact about this photo, I actually took the other two photos in the picture.

Prada by way of Wes Anderson

Wes Anderson and long time collaborator Jason Schwartzman have came together for a new short film for Prada. Set in 1950's Italy Schwartzman plays a race car driver who crashes into the town where his ancestors came from. This is one of the most beautiful things that I've seen Mr. Anderson involved in. Bright vibrant colors contrast the small dim village set. This is worth a watch for the production design alone.

NY Times articles

So below is a fun little video clip from Bill Cunningham at the NY Times. This week he's taking photos of all the really colorful people at the New York City Marathon this year.

Check this out another one from the Times, submit photos of yourself in your natural surroundings. I always say I'm going to take some photos and submit them, do I? No, but maybe tomorrow I'll pull out the DSLR and take some shots. Hope you do to :))))

My new Favorite Socks by Arthur George

So I just got these amazing new socks a few days ago and I'm totally in love!! The sock company is actually created by Robert Kardashian, yeah him, he uses the Arthur George name so it will sound classy. He's teamed with Universal Hosiery Inc to create, develop and distribute the socks. They cost about 30 dollars a pair and are using the Toms model by giving away a pair for every pair bought. Go get yourself a pair!

I want to be Bill Cunningham

If you don't know who Bill Cunningham is, it's not that big of a deal. I mean you are missing out on something but not everybody has time for New York fashion. You got kids at home, 2 jobs, you wear one pair of jeans, of course you don't have time. The multiple job thing is the only part of that which applies to me directly. So Bill Cunningham takes photos of people on the streets of Manhattan and 35 years ago the NY Times started publishing them weekly. He usually does themes, white clothes one week, hats the next and so on. I suggest you go to this link to check out the great videos he puts together now for the web. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/03/fashion/bill-cunningham-costumery-on-the-street.html?ref=fashion&_r=0 .
