New book, new promos, new website, shoes shined. Heading to NYC tonight for NYCFotoWorks, PDN PhotoPlus Expo, a week of meetings, and as much food and music as I can pack in. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

For the last year and half, myself and several friends have been hard at work making this short film, which we’ve just completed, and are incredibly excited about. Email me if you’d like to watch it (we can’t put it online until it gets a chance to premiere at a festival next year!) I was so lucky to get to direct such an amazing cast (Jason Ritter, Lucy Punch and Robert Axelrod) and work with such a talented crew. We can’t wait to share it and see what happens next!

Los Angeles Magazine just published an interesting feature story profiling the work of LAUSD chief Dr. John Deasy. Dr. Deasy was supposed to arrive to the location at 8am and have an hour to be photographed, instead he showed up at 745am and had to be gone in 15 minutes. It was a good lesson in being prepared and working fast.

A couple of outtakes after the jump:

Burning Man is hard to put into words, and I won’t try here. It’s also hard to fully immerse in the participatory nature of the event if you have a camera in your hand, so mine spent the majority of the trip packed away. But I did bring it out for a couple sunset cruises around the playa.

More photos after the jump.

While I was on location in Canyon Country north of Los Angeles I came across this classic looking guy, Tanner, and had to stop to make his portrait.
