on the nytimes website there is a great 7 part series ‘the case of the inappropriate alarm clock’ by errol morris getting under way. it deals with the controversies surrounding the FSA photographers and issues that are still at large today regarding the manipulation and altering of photographs.

isaac lin, megawords

isaac, philadelphia 2008  (photograph by me)

isaac t. lin is an incredibly talented and amazing individual. he is one of my favorite artists and probably one of the nicest dudes you will ever meet.

he is having a solo show soon and asked a number of his friends to donate a photograph with which he could incorporate one of his paintings onto. i was honored to be asked to do this and am really excited to see what the end result will be. he is known for doing these intricately designed and intensely kaleidoscopic murals and paintings, ranging from huge (like the mural he did in the above photograph for the megawords storefront project) to rather small (like the photograph below)

los gatos matadores

October 3, 2009

i have an uncontrollable urge to photograph cats when i see them. im not sure where it comes from.  they sit still and allow you to photograph them, in a very human way. they pose, they offer a little something of themselves to the camera (unlike dogs who just want to lick or bite the camera) they are curious, i guess.

here are some recent photographs of cats…
