More to come

in other self important news, if you want to know what happens when i get day-drunk and try to correspond with alec baldwin, check out my fresh twitter

Other things:
I turned 24. I shot for AnOther Magazine recently (whom I was wishing to work with for a while !). I shot LIAM GALLAGHER (THAT Liam) and Dave for GQ.com. Cassie pictures came out. Definitely thought Bridesmaids was good. Finally saw Zoolander a couple minutes ago. I want to adopt a kitten. I try and make time now for personal work (?) Went to my first wedding. GQ has become more nurturing then I thought it would be. I love shooting children lately (for some reason??) My friend Katie and I shot a fashion story for Brooklyn Magazine. TRUE BLOOD SEASON 4 IS BACK. I’m looking for a new apartment in a month (CATS ONLY).

I got back a couple rolls of film the other day including a time capsule. I lost a roll couple months ago at Le Bain and a friend of mine who works there told me the other day “I have it.” I really hated the thought of losing photos and never knowing what they’d look like.

So, future stuff! Get a job, make a website, bedazzle everything, and get myself to NYC.

Past stuff! Graduation was weird, Draft8 was sweet, after I got my prints to stay on the wall for the senior show that was cool too, getting evicted was a blessing because now I have a way cheaper apartment with a trampoline, and the show I had (and is still up until the 16th of June) at the Owl House was fun from what I don’t remember.

93% done and I’m always happy to hear opinions and not too heartbreaking criticism.
It’s hard to imagine this film outside of my school and I still cant decide what is stupid and what is funny about it.
People here like it, but im always scared how much of it is knowing the people acting in the movie and how much is genuine.

You be the judge, and I hope you like it.

I’ve accepted the fact that my updates are infrequent and so, 56 days later after my last post about Miami, these are things that have happened since then.

It is summer time, sort of, if it ever stops raining in New York. This month is officially one year at GQ, one year of traveling to Times Square everyday, and one year of working with some amazing people. It also marks one year that I’ve lived in New York after moving back. And in 31 days, I’m turning 24, and it’s weird to say out loud.

I’m not sure where to start, I’m not good at writing, let’s face it — I do pictures. Over the last month or so, I’ve shot a couple things, another feature for Brooklyn Magazine, Cassie for Nylon, a really tiny thing for GQ (but finally, I made it!) and am still carrying my beloved Contax everywhere I go.

Two weeks ago, the photo and art department attended the 46th Annual SPD Awards (my first!) and we won Magazine of The Year which catapulted the night into drunken celebration and lots of bumming of cigarettes. I saw a lot of past colleagues and even several RIT Alumni like Whitney Tressel, Photo Coordinator at Esquire, Justin Solitrin, Creative Director extraordinaire, Ryan Moore, designer at Time, and GQ’s own Jason Sfetko. It was really lovely to see people from college who I believe are really talented and deserve their success.

I’ve never attended an event like that and didn’t know what to expect besides understanding that Wired and The New York Times win a bunch of shit (well deserved though.) But winning the last award, Magazine of The Year was kind of like icing on the fucking cake. I think the night was blurry for everyone involved.

I’ll definitely remember that moment after my time is done at GQ.

Less blah blah, more, pikturs.

FINLAND

I got back form Scandinavia two and a half weeks ago. I’ve only got a few bucks to my name, no apartment and to many belongings. I’m trying to sell everything. Get rid of it all!

Finland in April is a dark and cold place filled with depressed, pail skinned, shy types; just how I like it. I spent five weeks couch surfing and ride-sharing my way around Finland, Estonia, Sweden and Denmark, staying with everyone from uncertain college students to 40 year old crust punks and foreign transplants. Without question, Finland wins. Sweden and Denmark were too much like America, but a more well behaved version, Estonia was pretty bad ass, but Finland had fucking hot sauna, naked girls covered in blood, smelly punks, Devil Boy, and meatballs lathered in jam. I hope to soon have some scans to share with everyone, once I rake in some cash.

I’ve been working on this book since the fall. After a month away from it, I finally decided on an edit. Check out the video on Double Cuddle. This book, along with Double Trouble by Graham Walzer and Nathanael Turner and Hunting Ghosts by Graham Walzer, will be featured at the PhotoIreland’s Library Project this July in Dublin.

OJODEPEZ

Five of my photographs were recently featured in the Spanish photography magazine, Ojodepez. Bruno, from Self Publish Be Happy, curated a selection of photographs from 20 photographers in a portfolio entitled, “When We Were Young”.

Hopefully I can put together a more substantial/intellectual post soon. Here are a few photographs from my last tripto California and Mexico.
