At long last, here is the new editorial shot last month in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The team and I descended on an old brick warehouse used by furniture maker Jason Lambreth and shot new looks of 2010. It was an extremely frigged February day to be in a warehouse with no heat, but our model Katie took it all in stride. Our goal was to make a collection of photos that were stylistically different while remaining cohesive as a group, in the end I think the results are just fine.

I would also like to give a big shout out to the Norwegian painter Frank Brunner for letting us use his studio (and one of his paintings) during the shoot. Next up we head to the water for a new editorial this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather and stay tuned for many new projects! Here are a few behind the scenes snaps…

The past month has been a blur, sprinting through the days while trying to keep up with everything along the way. Though the days and nights have been filled to the brim with shoots, scanning, production and juggling 100 different projects, it’s been a rush.

So, to spare myself coalescing one of the new shoots for the blog prematurely, I am going to share something a little different. As some of you may know, I grew up playing the drums and have been in and out of a few bands over the years. Even though I always considered it a hobby, I now find myself playing in two bands in NYC with multiple shows a month. It’s quite a lot to keep up with but a lot of fun.

Last week, I went into the studio with one group, The Dennis Padula Band a R&B/Soul ensemble, to record a live demo. I just received this recordings this morning and thought I’d to share a song with you. Now, it’s just a rough demo so don’t be too harsh, but I have to say I think it came out pretty nice.
