Fries from restaurants all over NYC were on display for a weekend in Nolita for an exhibit called Fries of New York. I was pretty eye-rollie about this until I realized that this was a brilliant marketing move by Sir Kensigton condiments.
I've started posted collection of my favorite images from each month into galleries in a section I am calling What I See. I'm still in the process of catching up on the past few months but here are some images from August...
Cards on the table: I've never read a comic book in my life but I've always been interested in the scene. So I was pretty excited when the creators of the comic book Zindan asked me to shoot its launch at Comicon. This was an excuse for me to check out Comicon and dive a bit into how this whole sub culture operates.
Here is the video that I put together for the launch. If you are interested in learning more about Zindan you can check it out here.

As some of you know I was recently signed to an agency called The Wall Group and the first job that came through them was to document Naeem Khan's Bridal Presentation. I have shot quite a few fashion shows in the last few years but have never shot a presentation before. It was a nice change from the really fast paced, hectic nature of the runway. I found that shooting a presentation allows you to slow down a bit and focus on all the details the designer has meticulously thought through and placed in front of you. I really love the way this video came out, I feel like it has a different vibe from the rest of my videos. If you enjoy it please share and like it on Vimeo.

Any time I'm hired to shoot video I try my best to snap a few moments in photos as well. Here are a few images from Naeem Khans bridal presentation, full video coming soon.
A few months ago I was in Vegas shooting this video for Liberty Fairs. I've been to Vegas a lot, at first it was to show Vane at trade shows and then for a few video project and in my time there I came to hate it. I don't gamble, I've cut down a lot on partying and coming from NY thats really isnt a selling point, I don't do strip clubs and I hate the heat...so there really isn't anything I enjoy doing down there. That being said I actually had a great time while on this trip. The key is to get off the strip and stay out of the clubs.
Addicted to screens
My client booked me an unnecessarily large suite at the Palazzo. But then again I guess Vegas is all about going BIG

Capsule has some extra wild displays by their show. I know they were trying to be edgy but I kinda thought it was tacky.
Went to XS to say hi to Diplo
New homies.
Getting on the catwalk and shooing down at the show was pretty cool.

So this was my favorite part of the trip. My homie Jeff, founder of Blind Barber, hosted a dinner in downtown old Vegas at the Carson Kitchen. This place was more my vibe and the food was amazing. If you ever find yourself in Vegas get off the strip and go here for a meal.
Red eye back to NYC
My homie Rummi, who I have mentioned here before, hit me up to cover another show he put together during the APPNA convention. I shot a bunch of video of the performance (which I'll be putting up soon) but was able to capture a few photos throughout the weekend.

The grind never stops.
