Hi Friends. Hopefully you saw my #IceBucketChallenge video and donated or participated in the #ALS internet meme (and were able to keep sight of the real target of raising awareness + $$ for ALS!) To be clear we were just goofing from a production standpoint, but since there was some cinematic playfulness and we used a bit of photo tech for my icy challenge, I got a bunch of questions / comments from readers asking... read more ›

I know, I know! I'm two weeks late for the #ALS #icebucketchallenge...I hate being late for an internet meme, but this is obviously way more/bigger/important than a meme... In this case, as you know by now, the world is raising awareness and money for ALS research.

And yes, I rarely write about gear since there are entire websites dedicated to that pixel peeping universe... but my hope is that this makes the few times I... read more ›

Background Story. This image was a part of a global campaign — print, OOH and digital - for Naked Juice in 2011. This image was one image in a series of 6 ads where the goal was to achieve what we were calling "the Naked Lens" — a superwarm, hard backlit look, complete with lens flare and jeweled tones throughout the image. While it might be an overused look these days — lens flares hadn't... read more ›

It's fair to say that I'm obsessed with the human spirit. It is amazing, bizarre and lovely at the same time and it can accomplish unthinkable things in the face of the most harrowing odds, in the face of challenge, in the face of "never". Which is why I believe in the following quote and the following story that relates to this quote. You may have seen this story 'blow up' on social a few... read more ›
