10/27/2013: Lou Reed died today... What a bummer. I saw him in concert many years ago, when his record "New York" was released. But despite everything he did after, and all the other bands and musicians he may have influenced, The Velvet Underground will probably always remain among my favorite musical groups of all time. Thought I would repost this photo today as a tribute of sorts (note the guy's White Light/White Heat V.U. t-shirt). RIP, Lou. Thanks for the music. And thanks for being a contrarian and challenging the status quo.
Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA.
On assignment for Changi Class Magazine.
I didn't know you could walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. I didn't know it was one of the biggest tourist hot spots in the city, either, but that didn't bother us much. I'm also happy to report that the bridge is not, as has been reported, falling down.
(Come to think of it, that might have been London Bridge...)
It was good fun to check out one of the great marvels of 19th Century engineering and one of NYC's most iconic structures. The cold wasn't much fun, though. Bloody East Coast cold!
I can't wait to get back to New York and shoot the city at night. The first time through a new city or country is often cursory, a time to get my feet wet and get acquainted with the place. However, I think I'll wait until the spring for round two.
GEEK:
A little NYPD Blues preset action for the masses!
I shot down to NYC on assignment for Changi Class Magazine and was lucky to have Jahrensy and Damian along for the ride. NYC seems as familiar as any place I've ever been and bursting at the seems with good times. It's also really cold in December. More to come.

Congratulations to Patti, who recently won a National Book Award in the Nonfiction category for her memoir, "Just Kids." (I can't wait to read it!*) I had the great pleasure of photographing her with Lenny Kaye backstage at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco this past October.

*Update: I just finished reading "Just Kids" - Patti's memoir about becoming an artist alongside Robert Mapplethorpe in NYC in the late 60s and 70s. It is a beautiful story about two beautiful, creative souls and I highly recommend reading it if you haven't already.
P.S. It's a tearjerker, so have your hankies ready when you get to the end. I mean, we already know Robert M. died of AIDS in 1989 going into it, so it's not like we don't know what's coming, but Patti's poignant recounting of it is very moving.

Kitty, with two of her twelve sheep. There are also two horses, and two ponies just out of frame. I had the pleasure of photographing Kitty, and her farm, while on assignment yesterday. Amazing land, a lovely lady, and beautiful Winter's day in the *heart* of the country...
What's not to love?
Times Square, Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA.
On assignment for Changi Class Magazine.
An addition to my uncertain period collection - Times Square at night. Bokeh Madness. Plain and simple stuff!
I was lucky to have Jahrensy and Damian along for the ride on this NYC adventure. See what they have to say about it.

Guilty as charged!
Right in front of my nose, huge buildings, occupied by hundreds of families.
Downtown San Paulo, Brazil.
Few blocks from the City Hall, the Stock Exchange, the Central Bank among so many other fundamental, worthy and basic institutions.
In just one of the buildings, 475 families occupies 27 unfinished floors.
Kids play and run.
Clotheslines on the outside of the building, without any protection from falling down and in front of the entire city.
Windows, with breathtaking views, of one of the biggest and most populated cities on the Planet, made of compensated wood or sticks, even at the 27th floor.
People that use strength and organization to impose their reality, to a society that doesn’t care to listen.
Guilty as charged!

In Katsikas camp near Ioannina, Greece, refugees blocked the main gate to raise a strike for several days. They were frustrated about the living conditions in the camp - especially with the fact, that the future of their medical care was completely uncertain, since the responsible NGO "Médesins sans frontieres" decided to end their service there. Greek authorities didn't react on the complaints.
Since there was no police and no private security company, NGO-staff had to bargain with the strikers and the Greek authorities, until the problem was solved after several days. Since there is nothing to do at the camp anyway, some men chose Volleyball as their favorite pastime.
