i’ve been having fun working on my most recent book project. above is an iphone pic of my desk today. what a perfect mix – thinking + writing + experimenting + making pictures + working on layout design…. i’m loving it!

douglas kirkland
this photo was captured of douglas in his home (in the garage) in the hollywood hills (click on the photo for a larger view). douglas is someone who inspires me with his down-to-earth and enthusiastic approach to photography. for this portait, i was using the 5dmii and 85mm lens with natural light. that’s a combo i have been enjoying and using a lot these days. the lenses i’m using most these days are: 85, 50, 35. i’m always curious to hear what others are using for their people photography work. what’s your “go to” set up?

sojourner of the sea
i came across this photo of christian beamish that i took a while back. at first i didn’t like it that much. yet now i do. it’s funny how time changes the way we see and what we like. does anyone else ever experience that?
