Grace and Kenyan’s: Part II

March 24, 2011 by admin | 1 comment

As soon as I got to their house, the first things I noticed were the changes between floors and all the new pieces acquired since my last visit. The “inspiration room” really felt like walking into an exhibit at the Museum of Jurassic Technology or a curiosities shop from a hundred years ago but as cozy as a home could ever be. The fencing mask with the top hat is still my all time favorite combination of pieces. So weird. These are the photos that the New York TImes missed.

Grace and Kenyan’s: Part I

March 23, 2011 by admin | No comments

My friends Grace and Kenyan were gracious enough to let me come up and shoot a lookbook in and around their house this past weekend. This is their second home upstate and it was really cool to see how they decorated and put together this new home. I ended up sleeping in what is called “the inspiration room” and now I’m already eager to drive back up there. Whenever I go visit them, I end up shooting all the objects, interiors, and the surrounding landscape. Kenyan’s acquired a bunch of new pieces I’d never seen and has a new studio in a three level barn down the road. Big thanks to Jake Jones for lending a hand on the shoot. Amazing weekend away.

Goodbye Horses: Bridle Hill Farm

Bridle Hill Farm is about 3 hours upstate in Jeffersonville, NY. I went up there with Derek and Eva for a shoot awhile back but I never really looked at the photos from that roadtrip until today. The farm was equipped with a riding stable both indoors and out, a few barns, and a perfect white house on a hill. I just saw the film Silent Light by Carlos Reygadas and started thinking about the pastoral landscape as a subject again. These are some images of the property and the farm.

First off, I have to thank Grace and Kenyan for hosting us this Labor Day Weekend at Blackies, their estate. It was amazing. We grilled, danced, dressed up, made pictures, and pretty much anything fun you can think of. These are the prints I’m working on right now.

Richard Prince

Today, I drove upstate to Richard Prince’s studio. Just outside of Albany, he has multiple workspaces and living spaces on a farm. The drive up there was nice despite the heavy rain. And the clouds cleared for a few hours when the shoot started.
