Day 186: Locked

Day 185: Kathleen

I’m doing my best ‘A-list, bald, creepy, on-camera flash photographer’ impression with this one. Easier than I thought. Luckily my lovely friend Kathleen (I call her Turner) stopped by to say hello in an adorable jump suit and was happy to oblige me.

Day 183: Eleanor

Eleanor and I spent time today, first getting her Super 8 projector lamp working and then using it to play back a handful of old films so that I could record them with my 5D2. Good stuff. The edit is uploading to Vimeo as we speak!  She’s the best.

See what happens when my mother sends me my old Atari 2600? The mrs goes all retro.

Day 177: Entropic Urban Archaeology

Sometimes you forget how many streets in New York City had streetcars. Apparently even the circle at 15th Street and Prospect Park West in Brooklyn. Sounds like a case for Forgotten NY

Dan Benjamin

I keep a wish list of subjects that I’d love to meet and & shoot, and it’s a real treat that I got to snag one of them while visiting my sister and her family down in Austin over the holiday weekend.  This time it’s Dan Benjamin, the man, myth, and legend behind the 5by5 internet broadcast network.

If you don’t already listen to Dan’s shows, well then shame on you. Go right now and subscribe to Back to Work and if you’re a little on the geeky side, add Hypercritical.  This is good stuff and Dan is a consumate host with knowledgeable and usually quite endearing co-hosts.

Dan took time out of his incredibly busy schedule to meet us downtown at 7AM on a Sunday. That’s dedication folks. The streets were completely empty, but it made for interesting backgrounds and nice conversation. An hour walk, 150 or so pictures, a quick breakfast omelet when we were done and now we feel like old friends.

Seriously, this guy was so nice to Heather and I, that I have to think that he and Gina Trapani have some sort of side bet on who can endear themselves to me more. It’s a very very close call.
