MAY 08 My secret life as a furniture photographer – I'm sure you didn't know that about me. Highly conceptual, painstakingly designed and manufactured by Martin Sprouse. Have been documenting his work for years and the new website just launched. Go visit and check out some amazing custom work. »
APR 08 Jonas Hiller, Anaheim ducks goalie for Das Magazin in Switzerland. What was supposed to be a straight-up editorial portrait turned into a two day shoot chasing down my subject in Southern California. On the fly it turned into a more journalistic story and luckily the publication gave the images some room. You can read the whole story in my native tongue online, if that doesn't work out for you browse their archives – there's some nice photography up there. A bit like the New York Times magazine without the snobbiness. »
MAR 08 Philip Zimbardo, author of The Lucifer Effect and creator of the Stanford Prison Experiment. Photographed for The Independent in London. Read the story and see another outtake. »
OCT 07 Headed into the redwoods with author Alice Sebold for a portrait commissioned by Harper's Bazaar UK. Here she's talking about her new novel on Fresh Air. We made it out unharmed. »
SEP 07 Taking a break from everything today. Hitting the streets with my camera and shoot like I used to - from the gut - who thought that photography could be fun. »
SEP 07 A few photoblogs I've been enjoying lately, providing a good mix of writing and imagery: Amy Stein, Speak, See, Remember by Christian Patterson, Tim Atherton's muse-ings, i heart photograph,flak photo, b sire. 5b4 does a great job reviewing photo books and has an excellent taste - lots of smaller titles - I'd love to spend a weekend in that library.

No better place to merge great design, typography and photography than book covers. Visit Covers for some great examples (and some failures) with always interesting comments and then head to the Book Design Review.
I love music videos that keep it simple - these two are beautiful, one with bikes, the other on a roller coaster. Enjoying the wacky and imaginative short stories of Aimee Bender. British journalist Jon Ronson always cracks me up and both his books are great finds in the bargain section.
JUN 07 Only a three piece, but Thee More Shallows sure pack a lot of sounds and instruments into their music. I've always enjoyed their layering of melodies and noise and their latest album Books of Breaks comes highly recommended. Photographed in West Oakland for Resonance, go see them live to find out what's in the red suitcase. »
JUN 07 Often the most rewarding jobs are the ones done for free. There's more room for creativity, less pressure and you're really helping someone out. I did a series of portraits of women with breast cancer for the Shanti project, we had a lot of fun shooting in a tiny office and it was nice to hear how comfortable and special everybody felt. »
