Magic Beans "Surprises" Magazine
From this issue:
1. If I like it, it's mine.
2. If it's in my hand, it's mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it looks just like mine, it is mine.
8. If I saw it first, it's mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10. If it's broken, it's yours!

The assignment for three designers, was to take this iconic silverware pattern by George Jensen and design a unique table landscape. These each work in their own way and were interesting and fun to shoot.

New Portraits
I was very excited to see these two new portraits in the recent issue of Fashion Boston. I love photographing performing artists; they always bring their unique talent to the shoot and often take risks that most people don't. Here, from the Boston Ballet, the sister/brother dancers Lia and Jeffrey Cirio, and the rockers Endway.

Antiques Period
I was on assignment yesterday in Beacon Hill and met the most delightful proprietor, Lisa, at Antiques Period. She graciously agreed to pose of a portrait. She was quite a character and told tales of the Hill, of growing up in Denmark, of Mari Anntoinette, and sticky buns too. The shop is on the corner of River and Lime Streets and I'm pretty sure she'd be happy to have you stop by for a chat.

Jada
A while back, I photographed the super talented women of the pop group Jada. I just stumbled on this ad, with one of the photos. They are as nice as they are talented. I love their video too, which is linked to the title.

Miami Beach, 1993
The blog thing kinds of gets away from me at times. How much to put on? How mercenary should I be? Creative? Old? New? Josh Campbell, who I work with, is doing a bang-up job on his blog, featuring old and new work, including his "Film Fridays," where he showcases older work he shot in film. Remember film? Anyway, he's the inspiration for posting these four images, all shot on film.
This lovely lady is Cele Stein, mother of my friend Bea. Years ago, when Bea had told me her mother was modeling clothes at a Miami Beach hotel poolside (at around 70 years old I think), I jumped at the chance to photograph her . I went in with a sort of a Diane Arbus feeling in mind, but I don't think these photos went in that direction. Cele is way too sweet and she was having too much fun modeling (and being photographed).
I recently went back to the negatives to finally make prints for Bea (I know, I know, it was years later) and looked at them in a fresh light. They appealed to me on different levels then they had originally. I mean, she's stylin' and I'm happy to have documented her.

Industrial Design?
My friends and neighbors, Megan and Dominic, came over last week for a one-week-before-due-date pregnancy photo. Megan has never looked more radiant. Dominic is an industrial designer and art directed this abstract take on Megan. I think the top photo remains true to Dominic's clean and modern esthetic in all he helps create!

Design New England Magazine
File this posting under "better late than never." This story and photo, from Design New England magazine recently became a 2009 Filio magazine Ozzie Award Winner! It took the bronze medal for "Breaking Ground" by Molly Jane Quinn and Jenna Talbott. It sounds almost Olympian, right?

Elle Decor
Be sure to visit J.E.M. in the South End. It's a beautiful store with a great collection of pieces, both vintage and new, and some combined. I recently photographed the store and it's been chosen as one of Elle Decor's Hot Shops. I think you'll agree.

Carney Knowledge
What could be more fun than an adult themed carnival? The Fort Point Theater is presenting this series of plays and carnival-styled performances, starting January 29th, at the Cambridge YMCA Theater. I did this photo of several of the performers (and my neighbors) last month and I think it captures some of the mysterious oddity of a sideshow. Tickets can be purchased at:
