Dancing Ties for Fortmakers

I love working with the folks at Fortmakers, because we do things like this.  These amazing ties, handpainted by Naomi Clark, have a life of their own.  We are headed to Montauk this weekend for something even more fun.  Hope your summer is going well.

You can find these ties by contacting Fortmakers or online at Grey Area or End of Century

Mom for BAM!

Look for my mom, Gayle Landers, on the NYC Subway and in the Atlanta airport I think.

Fortmakers

I had the good fortune recently to meet the good people of Fortmakers and we are working on their lookbook for their Fall 2012 collection. Their clothes are beautiful and filled with energy and life, it buzzes right out of their fingertips. Fortmakers is a company where art and commerce have somehow found a way to live together in an authentic way, which I believe is rare. Totally cosmic. This picture is kind of an outtake.

Working Life: Abbie Zuidema

I was honored last month to photograph an old friend from RISD for the Working Life project, Abbie Zuidema, a very talented painter.

Proverb of the Day

72. Smiles wait at the end of patience

(from Proverbs of the Sene-Gambian)
This is my apartment hunting mantra. I've seen the pitbulls and grime, now it's time for the glory.

So I have to find a new place to live, but I still want to live in the shire, so shout if you know of any free green doors in Williamsburg or Greenpoint. xx

Walden

I took some pictures this week of my friend Jamie Gray's new place Walden at 502 Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It is a great place, with a fantastic wine selection, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. Go check it out asap. Call me first, I'll meet you there. Actually, I might be there already.

Syncronicity watch: balloons

I noticed this little guy trapped at my subway station. If I could have set him free I would have. Are balloons following me home from California? What does it all mean? Maybe we are all filled with hot air and need to float around more.

holiday enthusiasm in Greenpoint

how could you walk by this and not smile. I almost didn't, but then I did.

more pics from TEEN shoot last June

I am still so into these pictures I took for Kristina's new project, TEEN. She is in Here We Go Magic, on keyboards and vocals and now has this amazing new project on her own with some talented friends, TEEN. More to come on them in the very near future, I am sure. She asked all her favorite girls to come hang out in Greenpoint and be in these pictures. So fun.
