happy new year

here’s to searching and finding.

lonely LA

slowly sorting through photos from the past year or so, been putting things that should go together… together. these are from last winter when i went to visit my pops in LA.

i think he found one of those guns in a fireplace somewhere.

just because

d squared and caught kitties, they go hand in hand.

outtakes

bang bang bang, do you wanna see my gun?

some outtakes from the consumption shoot. no retouching, just some cropping.

consumption

“i had originally wanted to do a photo series on tuberculosis but dressing my model in $6,000 worth of clothes seemed more fun and far more relevant.”

i shot this for design for mankind’s consumption issue #6. i had intended for this to be a series of layering to the extreme but of course my visions are never 100% translated into reality. it turned out to be a contrast between start and finish where a girl ends up wearing everything she owns… hence, consumption.

the biggest thank you to the cutest girl in the world for being cute.
