It’s been sometime since my last post, but I’ve been hard at work and away in Iceland. Those photos will be coming shortly. This 4th of July, my buddy Ken was gracious enough to open up his home for a day at the pool. There was food, friends, tennis, basketball, and not much else you could ask for. Even a nature walk through the arboretum nearby. Here is part one of two.

Joel hosted Thanksgiving this year at his loft in Williamsburg. The meal was epic, and the desserts put me down.

This is a building I’ve photographed a lot over the years, but never like this. On Friday night, Tanlines and Yeasayer performed at the Guggenheim Museum for the It Came From Brooklyn Concert Series. Having press access to the space really helped out in terms of getting to where I needed to be. The stage was situated at the foot of the rotunda in the lobby, surrounded by the Kandinsky exhibition. Both performances were out of this world, and the ambient light only lent itself to my color treatment on these images. I’d like to thank Jesse from Tanlines for the press pass and invitation, and the Guggenheim staff for being so accomodating. I’m really proud of Eric and Jesse from Tanlines; they played great and on a very special stage. Also, big ups to Ira from Yeasayer, who also put on a great performance.

Restless People led off the night with their second show of the day for the True Panther showcase at Piano’s. Restless People killed it, followed by equally amazing sets by Janka Nabay, Glasser, Delorean, and Lemonade, respectively. I’m not really a fan of live performance photographs but if anything, it’s a good exercise. Josh Haner, a staff photographer for the New York Times, was also there at the show, and he does it much better. Check out his CMJ portfolios on the New York Times website. His photo of Delorean is below. Lastly, I’d like to thank Dean for curating one of the best shows of the week.

Telephoned is a collaboration between my friend Sammy Bananas (Fool’s Gold) and singer Maggie Horn. They played a CMJ show this week In Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and I was feeling the music and the lighting.

Last night, the Art Directors Club hosted an opening party for the ADC Young Guns 7 Exhibition. My girlfriend Keren Richter was honored with this prestigious award along with 66 other artists, and I am proud. It was like watching the “design” Oscars. Also, to accompany the exhibition, ADC in a collaboration with Moleskine released a Young Guns 7 book. (images below) Shouts to Tim and Ami for coming out to the event and hanging with us at the Ace Hotel for the after-party. It was a rad evening.
