A few months ago my friend & neighbor Greg Behrendt approached me about doing a photo shoot with his band, The Reigning Monarchs, a super cool (all instrumental) surf-rock band. Well considering that my own brother Michael heads up the band with Greg and I totally love their music, how could I say no? So we scheduled it and then it was off to find the perfect location. Once Greg showed me this amazing vintage sofa he found on the side of the road, that settled it...we just had to shoot at the legendary Vogue Theater on Hollywood Boulevard. It just seemed like the perfect combination of tattered dilapidation with a richness of color and lingering air of old hollywood sophistication. And as luck would have it, Gary's good friend Abdi has held the lease on the place for the past couple of years with plans to eventually turn it

Hey everyone, I know I've been gone from this blog for ages and ages but hopefully you've been following things on my other blog, The Unbride in the meantime. But now it's time to get back to business and sharing all of the images I've shot during the past few busy busy months.
On Friday I did a quick session with the band Letters to Cleo who played a reunion show at the Roxy in LA on Saturday night. Those of you who know me know that my brother Michael and his wife (& my sis-in-law) Kay spent many years in this awesome Boston-based band until their move out to LA a few years ago. So it was pretty exciting for family, friends and fans to see them together once again. Check Kay's blog for info on upcoming east coast shows in NYC & Boston...

I just received an email that one of my pictures of Kay (who has an awesome brand new website by Tea) and Zoe was just used for an article about Kay on babble.com an online magazine that strives to tell he truth about parenting. How refreshing, right? Anyway, go take a look and have a read and get to know my awesome sis-in-law a little better.

Hello everyone, I am finally coming back to life after the stress of moving and am back in business. Yay! So anyway, I wanted to share a few images with you of the very delightful Curt Smith who I had the pleasure of photographing a couple of weeks ago. Many of you may remember Curt as 1/2 of the amazingly successful band, Tears For Fears. Anyway, Curt is about to put out a solo album so he needed some press pictures and images for the cd. So here are a few favorites. Hope you enjoy!

Hey everyone. I really have not fallen off the face of the earth, I am still alive. As soon as I returned to LA from teaching my seminar in DC, I had to pack up everything I own on the west coast and move it all to a new house. Today is the first day I have even been able to get on the internet which of course has been absolute torture to feel so cut off. Anyway, we are still living amidst towers of boxes and cans of paint but I hope to be very well settled by the end of the week and then maybe I'll share some pictures of the new house. In the meantime, I just heard from the amazingly talented Milena Mepris from Pin Me Down. It seems that they are getting a lot of press these days, most recently in the London Times
