Wil Wheaton and his Thrown of Games. We made this thrown on the Joco Cruise Crazy 4 that I was covering for Wired magazine back in January of 2014, it was a real hoot, I must say. Thanks to will for sitting for this shot as well as the bathing costume shot that I will be posting shortly.

By the time Ian Allen came across the motorcyclists and their ancient machines, they’d already been riding two weeks. They’d worked their way northwest from Florida, crossing the Mississippi River and the great, sprawling plains of the heartland before climbing up, up, up Loveland Pass to cross the Continental Divide. And here they were in Utah, with another 1,000 miles to go. Allen had chanced upon the third annual Motorcycle Cannonball Run, a leisurely 4,000 mile tour of the back roads between Daytona Beach, Florida, and Tacoma, Washington.
Great write up on my chance encounter at the Bonneville Salt Flats with a bunch of crazy people riding pre-1937 motorcycles across the country

This june I had the extreme pleasure of accompanying a documentary film crew to Mocimboa Da Praia in Mozambique. We were there to document the efforts of a charity run by Ethan King, a 15 year old from Michigan who started Charity Ball to bring soccer balls to developing areas. His father runs, VOX, an outfit that installs wells across Africa to get fresh water to those who need it most. Accompanying his father on a trip, Ethan saw the yearning all these kids had to play soccer, so much so that they were making their soccer balls themselves. Kids making soccer balls out of condoms, rubber bands and shopping bags is a worldwide phenomenon, and he set out to get real soccer balls delivered to those who wanted them most.

This was gross.
Ian Allen was allowed to make exactly 3 exposures of David Hockney for his TIME Magazine shoot. David Hockney, for your next painting you will be allowed only 3 strokes.
Oh yeah!!

It’s a reblog kind of day. We were completely remiss to not mention Goldteeth & Co. on the list of newish agents. Chris is the bomb and carefully building a very editorial roster. We love him. Congratulations on Ian Allen!
We love us some Dwell too. Those photo editors over at Dwell have it going on with their own blog called Promo Daily. Love it, love, love it.
awesome! thanks to Art Buyers are People Too and Chris!! Happy to be aboard!
A month or so ago I got a call from the wonderful Marvin Orellana at the NYTM about a portrait shoot in my hometown. Jason is a really interesting guy, I met him at his house at the base of the Kitsap Peninsula, and we spend 3 hours talking, taking photos, and putting some masking tape over secret operation names that were on plaques on his wall. He was a great host, and I can't wait to get the rest of the images up on the website, for now here is the opener from the article, I am still shocked that one of my images is running full bleed on an opener at the NYTM.
I photographed a feature for Dwell a few months ago that is incredibly winding up on the cover. It was shot at a wonderful house in the Dolores neighborhood of SF. One of my first shoots since getting to SF and it was really great. Just comparing the pace, light, and ease of making photos to similar dwell shoots in cramped New York apartments, it was night and day, and a real joy. We had three straight days of beautiful sun, beautiful sunrises and beautiful sunsets. I'd call the owners around 5am when I pulled up in front, they'd open up the blinds and go back to bed for another hour while I photographed the house in the pre dawn light, then we'd all have coffee and shoot with the sun beaming through the front windows. The final night they had some friends over and I photographed the house as converted into an entertainment space, Images coming soon on the site! Thanks to Anna and Julia at DWELL!!!
