Thanks to Ibarionex Perello the very talented photographer and creator of the Candid Frame photography podcast for interviewing me! I loved the questions he asked - they steered our conversation to bring out some surprising thoughts and details I hadn't considered before. This is a very special skill, and I am in awe of people like Mr. Perello that can do it so effortlessly. Our conversation

I'm very happy to announce that my new book We are Dandy: The Elegant Gentleman Around the World will be launching this week! This second volume with writer Nathaniel Adams - our first was I am Dandy - explores modern dandyism as a global phenomenon. We began shooting and interviewing for it in January 2016 (!) - first visiting Italy, Germany, UK, France, and Belgium, then Japan in April

I had the distinct honor of being asked a million questions about my work by Glenn Wiggins of False Image Podcast. He started his podcast because he was so curious about the real stories behind creative achievements. Most of the time it get's glossed over, but he likes to dig deeper. Glenn is very thorough! Even digging up a story about my first ever creative job painting a sign for my

Brilliant creative director Carolyn London (think Don Draper if he was a badass bosslady, and not a jerk) has launched her own agency called London in New York. I first met Carolyn when she hired me to shoot her brain child for the Metropolitan Opera - the Last Night at the Met blog which I've been doing since 2013. For London in New York she is teaming up once again with long time

Cocktails and style go hand in hand in my mind, and the best bartenders have a style all their own. Whether it's how they mix a drink, what they wear behind the bar, tools they custom make, or the character or their hospitality, it all conspires with their bar to create an ambience that can transport us away from our ordinary day. For this new series called Bartender Style, a collaboration

Nick Sullivan, Fashion Director of Esquire Magazine, at home in Brooklyn, Aug 2012 One of my favorite shots from my recent work for Park and Bond.  We were channeling a bit of Irving Penn here.  Not sure exactly how, but it's there.  I love Nick's incredible deep teal velvet jacket, his unbuttoned cuffs and that wonderful table!

There is a little island in Newport Harbor called Rose Island.  It has a historic lighthouse that has been lovingly restored by some very dedicated group of local residents and supporters involved with the Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation.  Can you imagine my delight when I found out you can stay in the lighthouse?!   Rumor has it that they can host small wedding receptions (!),

I headed up to Harlem one morning last month to shoot celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson at his restaurant The Red Rooster for Park and Bond's "Man of Style" section.  See the full interview here. I love his rumpled look!  He was a great fellow to photo - very kind and gracious.

The days have been flying by as Rarebit (my video production company) has been working night and day on - not one - but THREE book trailer/how-to videos for Brett Bara's first book "Sewing in a Straight Line".   The book is beautiful, and I even found myself saying "I could make that too!", which I think is exactly what Brett was going for.  I am so excited for her - and for Rarebit!

Crafter extrordinair, Brett Bara has her first book, "Sewing in a Straight Line", coming out July 19!  She worked with Kelly and I (aka Rarebit Productions) on a series of how-to videos to promote the launch. Brett started with the simple but brilliant idea that if you can sew straight you can make a lot of really awesome things - things that may look complex, but are really made all with

Over Memorial Day I spent some time in Southampton, and one morning we went out to this estate sale on Gin Lane by the ocean.  The house was modest by today's standards, but I imagine that back in the day it was quite elegant.  There was a beautiful hazy ocean sunlight streaming in everywhere.  Tattered antiques and lonely personal items made for some beautiful vignettes, this

Raphael Saadiq, NYC, May 2011 I teamed up with the folks at Gilt MANual again recently to make a portrait of musician Raphael Saadiq at Raines Law Room.  Saadiq's new album is pretty great - it has a old school motown/garage sound that I would totally play on set.
