I'd like to invite you all to a fellow artist and dear friend's exhibition in NYC.
"The Life of Ruby Gold" by Mariette Papic: November 13, 2008

Lumenhouse

So a heads up to everyone, if you are looking for a studio space in NY with a great day rate, check out Lumenhouse.

It's very close to the subway, its a great facility with everything you'll need and you are always well taken care of.

I have shot there a few times and Aurora and Marshall have made it a great experience every time:
47 Beaver street, Brooklyn.

Quote of the Month: Septemeber

Love on another, but make not a bond
Of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between
the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from
One cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat
Not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
But let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
Though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but no into each
Other's keeping.
For only the hand of life can contain
Your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart
And oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."

-Khalil Gibran

Quote of the month

You talk when you cease to be at peace
With your thoughts;
And when you can no longer dwell in the
solitude of your heart you live in your lips,
And sound is a diversion and a pastime.
And in much of your talking, thinking
Is half murdered.
For thought is a bird of space, that in a
cage of words may unfold its wings but cannot fly

Khalil Gibran from "The Prophet"

Quote of the Month-July

"To get beneath the facts I would have had to be an artist, and one doesn't become an artist overnight. First you have to be crushed, to have your conflicting points of view annihilated. You have to be wiped out as a human being to be born again as an individual. you have to be carbonized and mineralized in order to work upwards from the last common denominator of the self." Henry Miller, Cancer of Capricorn page 35

Ain't that the truth!

My new Canon HV20

So I never thought I'd buy a Canon as I shoot exclusively with Nikon, but I did, the Canon HV20

I decided to experiment with video and below is my first attempt at gauging lighting and coloring, and the camera itself. It was fun and the outcome isn't too shabby:

Mechante of London Spring/Summer 2009 Collection

Another season with Mechante of London:

The shoot for the Spring/Summer 2009 Look Book and catalog was a roaring success. We had a great time on set, I think the model suffered most as she had to sit through a painstaking two hours of body paint. But it was well worth it. The look book should be out in a couple weeks, check the Mechante of London website for updates. Thank you to LumenHouse for a wonderful space

Here is a video of the actual shoot:

And here is a little slide show of the images:
