The first installment of my renting spree involves a ring light and hiking with it in Ithaca.

Everyone has seen this bit on Planet Earth right?

I started Fashion Week at Project Runway this past Thursday. Between the screaming for Heidi Klum and guest judge Jessica Simpson, the camera on a dolly swinging wildly over my head and the nearly hour-long show (they typically take 15 minutes) it was quite the introduction to this Fashion Week. I got some great runway shots but goddamn if I didn’t have the elbows to push my way to some of the front row guests.

This is the first time Fashion Week is being held at Lincoln Center and the accommodations are a beaut. I shoot another 6 shows (at least) and will try and take some more photos of the Lincoln Center fashion universe to share.

I’m in the small town of Girard, in the southeast corner of Kansas, not too far from the Missouri border. I’ve been documenting the surrounding areas since driving here from San Diego a week ago, but with a ton of photos in my backlog I thought I’d share a teaser.

Testing out Lightroom 3′s tethering capabilities at home is incredibly entertaining.

My sidewalk strolls have been replaced as of late by weekend excursions to California’s national parks. Here’s a set from a night hike in Joshua Tree National Park, starting at the popular Jumbo Rocks campground, during which I experimented with the light cast by headlights worn by myself and my brother.

Washington-based artist Dale Chihuly showed up at Luis Kahn’s Salk Institue in La Jolla for a short photo op with his latest exhibit of glass sculpture.

After over a YEAR, I have finally updated my website ladies and gentlemen.

I’m still working on it (the scans of all my published work are not cooperating). Will would like me to take down my essays except for my most recent “Forever Young,” but since I haven’t been working on stories, I don’t have anything else to fill in here at this moment. What do you think?

A piñata in a window caught my eye walking down University Avenue in City Heights, and I knew I had to see if this so-called ‘pinata house’ would live up to its name.
