Working Life: Lara Kurtzman of Kelacala Q

Last month I photographed my friend Lara Kurtzman for my ongoing series: Working Life. Lara is the lovely lady behind the jewelry line Kelacala Q, which you may have heard about from just about every magazine in the world (Vogue, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, Fader, Lucky and on and on).

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.

Working Life: Tamara Magel

Recently I had the pleasure to work with a New York designer named Tamara Magel. So I asked her if she would be a part of my ongoing series about Work.

Kinki tearsheets

This month I have a picture in a Swiss magazine, Kinki, accompanying a profile of my friend Nick Felton. This portrait is actually the first picture I took for my Working Life series, which is ongoing. All of my friend are slowly becoming super famous, so you should probably be a part of this project too. Let me know when's a good time.

Working Life WALL OF FAME: Michael Bloomberg

Bloomberg sent me a signed picture, which is going right up on my wall, right next to my framed notice of jury exemption until 2017. Thank you Mr. Mayor!

Working Life WALL OF FAME: David Sedaris

David Sedaris is a gem, but we knew that already. This just confirms it. I sent him a note and asked him if I could photograph him for my project, Working Life, and I got a postcard in the mail the other day in response. I almost fell over I laughed so hard. Thank you Mr. Sedaris

Working Life: Melissa, August 3, 2011, New York City

Melissa Lopez-Leach runs the show over at Annabelle's new store in the Lower East Side on Ludlow Street.

Work work work....

I re-worked the pictures from my Working Life project on my website, which you can see here. This project still has legs, big time. Included now are a few new ones from the past few months of artist Barbara Nessim, lawyer Vivien Krieger, and artist/interactive media engineer Eric Forman. I am grateful to these people and honored to have them participate in this project. Vivien I have known for a long old time, I mean long, I think maybe even pre-Guiliani, or at least the very beginning of that crap. She is a native of the Upper Best Side as well. heh.

Check out this wonderful post on Herman Miller's blog Lifework, which has a slideshow of my Working Life portraits. I am so happy to be profiled! Many thanks to Cerentha Harris.

Working Life: The Seiden Group

I took some portraits of the principles of The Seiden Group yesterday for their website, which fits right in with my own personal project about working life. The folks at Seiden are great, especially my old friend Kim.
