To Manhattan
To Manhattan is a book of photography I shot in collaboration with Popular Photography magazine and Blurb.com that commemorates the 10th anniversary of 9/11 by capturing images of the 19 bridges that lead into the borough. It was an exhausting four days of shooting and a rushed two days of processing and layouts. The book, in its entirety, is available to view online. Enjoy. <div...

Brands that get content (and branding)
Colin Meloy, of The Decemberists, plays live at Ace Hotel NYC with uncanny audio. Shot beautifully, subtle title cards. Just beautiful. Big shout out to KEXP for consistently producing amazing videos.

Fake Kenneth Cole publicly blackmails real Kenneth...
A little backstory here. @KennethCole made a shitty joke about the riots in Egypt and an online sale. I’m not saying it wasn’t funny, but someone probably got fired. About eight minutes afterwards, @KennethColePR popped up and started making similar crash jokes. I can only assume that they were asked to stop and the proposed this solution: If there were ever a gray line ready for...

Show & Tell
I’m a serious proponent of creating content that nails a brand’s strategy. To me, it simply boils down to proving you believe in the things you say you believe in. Any decent person would agree that being disingenuous makes you an asshole, but somehow brands are forgiven for ignoring the obvious. Times are changing, brands. If you want attention you’ve got to earn...

Give someone the benefit of the doubt
I recently bought a tea kettle from Target. Sadly, when I brought it home and opened the box the tea ball was missing (I’d even bought some tea to use it). So I decided to write the manufacturer, explaining that the missing merchandise was no doubt the work of a tea ball vandal, and asked if they could help. I wasn’t expecting a response, but when someone actually replied I had a...
