Now Magazine, December, 2014
Gallery 44 is having their "Wall to Wall" ("Off the Wall") group exhibition from Dec. 4th to 13th. Come on opening night (free admission) for the festivities, where I'll have a couple pieces hanging on the wall and I'll likely be shooting some polaroids in our "Ames Room" installation just for fun! Come for the art, stay for the booze and support some wildly talented local artists all at the same time.
Pieces at Wall to Wall:
The concept is very simple: one dude, two moustaches...to bring to you...the "Double Moustache."
We're stepping up our commitment to Movember and Men's Health with our campaign offering double the Moustache for double the Donation, so consider generously donating to Movember here.
Follow and support us:
Follow along as we roll out more #DoubleMoustache models to come....
In the meantime, take a peek under the #DoubleMoustache in the behind-the-scenes video of our latest shoot:
And for the photography nerds, you'll see we also shot a few frames of real vintage analogue film on a medium format (6x6) Rolleiflex 6008, which is an amazing experience.

Thank you to CreativeLive for the recent interview and writeup.
If you're not already aware of CreativeLive, you've got some catching up to do. They're busy changing the way we think about education and challenging tradition while boosting the reputation of online learning. They're no longer a platform for photography exclusively and have since branched out to music, business, health and many other areas. Truly an amazing and valuable resource. Have fun, but be warned...it's highly addictive....

Day of the Day "Dia de los Muertos" starts tomorrow and what better day to get the festivities started than Halloween?

First of all, huge thanks to Andrew Miller from The North American Circus Competition for generously sponsoring the shoot and supplying most of my gear for the day including a Phase One camera and full lighting kit (and tasty soy sauce marinated eggs). If you're a creative, you'll definitely want to check out the Circus Competition with several categories for makeup artists, photographers and many others with some mouth watering prizes on offer. At the very least its a very well curated collection of world class artwork created out of collaboration and community that's definitely worth a peek.
And on the topic of community, I put a call out very last minute to do the shoot expecting most people to be unavailable. The lesson for me is never to underestimate the power of people coming together with a unified goal to create and much to my surprise, a lot of people made themselves available to come and lend a hand to pull it together and I'm very grateful to everyone involved. After all...who doesn't want to hang out at the beach and play with fire?!
Special thanks also to Maida of Anna Fora for the amazing body chain above. We also recently did a shoot that we're excited to release soon - some of the behind the scenes here (as well as Brian's bts video here). Thank you also to Crystal Lee for coming out to help and join in the fun. Big thank you as well to MAKE UP FOR EVER for sponsoring the makeup used on this shoot.
