Noam Chomsky for Malibu Magazine

My good friend Jason Rouse from Malibu magazine www.malibumag.com asked me if I would meet him and his uncle Denis at M.I.T. in Boston on a cold day in January to take a few pics of Noam Chomsky for the current issue.. Not my normal assignment.. but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get to meet one of today’s greatest and most controversial intellectual minds. What ensued was me getting to also sit in on a very intimate closed room interview, in his office, conducted by Denis Rouse.. My mind was blown to say the least..

Erin has been a friend for some time.. we used to get to hang out in the dog run together. I was happy to finally work with her. Erin is more than a top model.. she is an acomplished stylist, designer and now has made a jump into acting in the new film, Abraham Lincoln- Vampire Hunter.

We shot this cover story inspired by the history of Indochine’s celebrity nightlife past for the June cover story of Scene Magazine.. special thanks to Indochine, Scene & Nicole Trunfio

Matisyahu

Not long ago, I received a call asking if i was available to travel to Isreal with Matisyahu to take photos for his new album, Spark Seeker (out in July). I wouldn’t have passed up the opportunity to visit that amazing land with such an inspirational and spiritual man.. Little did i know i would find Matisyahu to be all that i expected and so much more. a modern day man with his spirtuality tied to ancient teachings. A fun and sweet friend with a positive message.. Exactly what i needed.. We traveled from city to city from coast to coast and spent the night in a bedouin camp so we could shoot sunrise near Masada and at The Dead Sea.. Not to mention a fun night or two in Tel Aviv taking in the clubs.. i haven’t eaten hummus or falafel since.. check out his new single and download it for free

Lena Dunham

Every once in awhile comes along a fresh new talent that speaks for a generation… Lena Dunham is one of those very special artists.. A writer, director, actor and also producer.. Her first film Tiny Furniture was a preview of the honest humble perspective that Lena brings to the big screen.. Now with her new show (one of my favorites), GIRLS.. on HBO, Lena further invites us into her world and a world here in NYC that not only Girls can relate to.. I shot these portraits of Lena not long ago.. She is as sweet, sincere and lovely as you would imagine… Keep it up Lena.. ur killin it!!!

The other night i went down to the Electric Room to shoot some portraits of The Big Pink. I had not seen Robbie in quite some time and this was our first time takin some pics together for a quick session and private show..

Ingrid for The Last Magazine

On friday i was asked to run down to The Bowery Hotel for soundcheck to take a portrait of Ingrid for my friends at The Last Magazine. Ingrid is a unique collaboration created by Swedish musicians Lykke Li, Miike Snow, Peter Bjorn and John, and Teddybears. I had photographed many of them in the past so it was nice to see them all together and then nice to hear them all perform together.
