Happy New Year!
It’s usually slow for me around new years, but I love shooting so I called up one of my favorite models to see if she’d be game for a quick (25 mins) shoot.
Here are my favorites from the first shoot of 2012 (the first of two shoots I did on 1/1/12!).
All images are unedited.





















I got to shoot MVP Bruins goalie Tim Thomas recently for a cover. Due to his tight training schedule I only had 10 minutes with him outside the bruins practice facility in Wilmington MA. having recently just shot a few of the younger Bruins players for a fashion feature it was great to meet a veteran team member. Here’s a video of Tim’s unreal talent: youtube

I’m always inspired by the art of others. Any medium. Visual artists, musicians and even chefs have inspired me with their creativity. (i’ll never forget a balsamic vinegar sorbet I had at Chillingsworth restaurant when i was 16, not only because it was delicious, but because it was a reminder not to be bound by my preconceived notions of things – i would never, EVER have thought such a flavor could work as sorbet and it was delicious.)
This past weekend I went to Miami for Art Basel and was amazed, energized and inspired by all the good art. specifically in the Pulse show. anyway below are some favorites that i snapped pics of with my phone.
Enjoy!


just a super shiny sculpture of a shoping cart with a balloon inside? looked cool as hell!

this is a sculpture in a glass box, with one eye closed it looked like a painting.


Art Basil is bananas. yes, they’re real, smelled great. on the last day they were starting to brown a bit.



Sushi trucks!


This Hotel had carboard cutouts of Storm Troopers on their balconies. they did it last year too, glad they brought it back.

i LOVED this sculpture, looked like melted plastic drizzles over lots of stretched fishing line, beautiful effect.

one of my favorite paintings. most works seemed to focus on new media and mixed media. I liked that this was a new creative approach to just Oil on canvas with a timeless & simple subject.

Just shot a couple catalogs for New Balance so the “N”s jumped out at me!

2011 baby.

all cigarette filters.

i just saw the Daphne Guinness exhibit at FIT a few weeks back so this jumped out at me.

I like cars, I like art, I like photography… this guy gets me.



amen.

The artist builds these sets then photographs them.

simple, elegent, love the proptions of birds to paper, to frame. yum.


Among my favorite things are cars, autumn and photography.
I was lucky enough to be able to combine all three on a beautiful fall day a couple weeks ago when I was invited to attend an American Bugatti Club rally in the Hamptons.
If you’re not familiar with Bugattis, they are a very rare, beautiful and collectible car. They were mostly made in the 20s and 30s both race cars and town cars. (Some well known Bugatti owners: Nicholas Cage, Jay Leno, and Ralph Lauren) The Rarest Bugattis have been sold at auction for as much as $30 million. VW bought and resurrected the company name creating a new Bugatti super-car – the Bugatti Veyron. the fastest and most expensive production car ever made.
anyway i’ll stop there as I could go on about these things all day… enjoy the pics!


The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, yours for just $2m



Finally had some time to get to some old photos this weekend! Here are shots I snapped with my Canon G11 at my sister’s wedding in India in May.
