You Are Invited To My Art Show...

Always in need of a new promotional photograph.

Thanks to Beth Coiner, my model de jour, for taking a great photograph of me in front of the Comme des Garcons store in New York City. I'm always looking to change my promotional photographs of me, and I really like this one. Thanks Beth.

"The Best Camera Is The One That's With You!"

Amen! And it was so cool to meet the young talented Chase Jarvis, who, amongst his many talents as a photographer, published a book of iphone photos. He is a very fresh needed inspiration. Loved hearing him speak at the Photo Plus conference this year in New York.

You've seen his work, check it out...

Albert Watson, what an inspiration...

Over 100 covers of Vogue magazine, a career spanning over 4 decades, photographs featured in Rolling Stone Magazine, Time, and Vibe. What a career.

I had the honor of hearing him speak and meeting him at this year's Photo Plus Conference in New York City. Simply Amazing!

I now own a signed copy of his book UFO, Unified Fashion Objectives, and I love it!

Check out his wonderful website,

Just Love this Photograph

Annie Leibovitz rocks, and I just love this photo. Got to see it in the High Museum Show in Atlanta.

Retouching gone a bit too far...

The Power of a Photograph!

Corinne Day 1965 - 2010

photos posted taken by Corinne Day

I am sad to learn that Corinne Day has passed away 29 August 2010.

Corinne, a self-taught photographer, first became known in 1990 for the images she published in her book The Face of Kate Moss. The series of photographs launched what came to be known as 'grunge' style.

Glamorous images dominated fashion photography during the 1980's, Day's work was more informal, confrontational and confessional. Unconventional and sometimes androgynous models were her choice. This was in contrast to the gender of stereotyping found in the mainstream media and magazines.

Corinne Day made an impressive contribution to the world of fashion photography in the early 1990's. She was one of the pioneers of a candid and hard-hitting style.

Plus, with her photo shoot of Kate Moss in the Indian Headdress and birkenstocks, a huge increase in the sales of the birkenstock shoe followed. Oh the power of a photograph!
