Espresso

2011-04-22T04:43:00.000-07:00

George Butler

2011-04-22T03:03:00.000-07:00

George is a cool illustrator. The video and portrait were made at a Mayfair gallery on the first day of his London show. It was a test with my mate Will from It's Nice That.

2010-10-18T02:55:00.000-07:00

When I was in Sicily I saw some goat farmers, stopped the car and I jumped out to take some shots. That's how I met Angelo (right) and Guiseppe (left), two very typical Sicillians. I'm editing what I think is an interesting portrayal of where they live and work. Goats pictured above.

Gaetano D'Palermo

2010-10-14T09:21:00.000-07:00

I recently travelled to Sicily with Lisa from Le Dolci. Gaetano from Palermo(pictured) was quite a dramatic subject. I'm sure he is related to De Niro in some way. He has to be.

Pablo The Puerto Rican

2010-09-06T05:40:00.000-07:00

Pablo. He's a deep guy. I took this shot while he was watching the basketball at Rucker Park. Soon after me and Pablo had a very interesting conversation and I met his son.

2010-08-19T16:03:00.000-07:00

A few of my coolest friends had told me about this publication/site and I finally met one of the founders last week in NYC.
