max lamb/nyt.people watching/outtakes

Lots of outtakes from my NYT People Watching post on Max Lamb. This first one is one of my favorites, and Max's too as I recall. I love his collection of Richard Batterham jugs just standing there like little soldiers.
See more on Max here.

Just a quick pic today of designer Charles DeLisle's home. I'm a little obsessed with his Chainsaw Chair right now. Check it out here.

june schwarcz/american craft magazine

Just a head's up that some of the images I have been shooting of June Schwarcz's home and work are featured in a story on her in the June/July issue of American Craft Magazine. You can see the story if you click here as well. The story was written by Deborah Bishop and focuses mainly on her new work. Of course I love June's work, but her curatorial eye for the objects in her home is equally interesting to me. Here are just a couple of goodies that did not make it in the story.

barn raising/jesse schlesinger

Scene from a barn raising. It was pretty inspiring watching this structure go up. Jesse Schlesinger from my NYT People Watching post and here is at the top of the ladder and was pivotal in the whole project. I hope to share more on this soon.

speedies/shoreditch

Just an image today from my travels - this one in London.
They had some good stuff in that shop...

villa necchi/

Aren't you in love with this girl? I am. I have been admiring her since I shot this at Villa Necchi in Milan. There is something that is simultaneously self conscious and unconscious in her pose. And the way her mouth is a little bit open...is taking in a huge gulp of life, or calling out someone's name? I just love her. The ideas she conjures in my head are usually diametrically opposed to each other. She makes me think. And wonder.

yelena yemchuk/

A couple of my favorites from my shoot at photographer and painter Yelena Yemchuk's loft earlier this week. I have always loved how more is more with Yelena...the antithesis of me actually. There are layers and layers of reference on her pin board. In my mind taking it down would be one of the best ways to spend a day (and I think it would take a day) because you would go through her brain in some way and see the copious references that get sifted into any one of her many projects. It would be fascinating. As I shot she was working on some compelling new paintings for a show this fall. I cannot wait to see the final pieces...
Have a wonderful long weekend friends. I am heading to a barn raising in the redwoods, can you believe it?!? SO EXCITED!!!
