My Styley Friend: Jessie Cohan

I met stylist Jessie Cohan way back in September. We were both at the Alex Olsen opening at Lisa Cooley, and we chatted about the madness of Fashion Week (it was my first time shooting streetstyle...

Notes from the Home Office: Business Travel

That’s Yoshiko, editor of Japanese Elle, shot during NYFW F/W 2013. Great bag, right? I was on a business trip to San Francisco this past week (exhausting), and I have another one next week (more...

Streetstyle: Sophie Moore

Sophie Moore is a student and painter studying art history at UCLA. I think it’s safe to say that she’s killing it with that hat. What is your profession? I’m an art history student and a painter....

Streetstyle: Stripes, serenity, and Samantha

Let’s take a minute to talk about the wonderfulness of film. The richness of its color! Its texture! How seeing what you’ve shot after waiting feels a little bit like receiving a surprise gift. So...

Streetstyle: Lonesome Traveler (but not really)

Margaux in the Marais. I photographed Margaux this past summer while I was in Paris. She was working at Claudie Pierlot, where I had just purchased a pair of black ankle boots that I now wear...

Streetstyle: Susan Joy

Stripes and bling. Yes. Stripes. Can’t get enough of them. I’ll walk into a store and before I realize what’s happening, I’m looking at striped shirts. It’s totally unconscious. Do you have things...

Frenched

Piping and a dark lip. So nice. I love piping on a shirt. It feels so French to me, probably because of that knack the Fnch have for making special. A certain attention to detail. Every meal is an...

Meditation: Michelle Williams, Jason Segel, and unrealistic expections

Olga, model, on the street in Soho. She’s rocking a Michelle Williams-worthy crop, which I think we can all agree is no mean feat. While I wouldn’t call myself delusional, I think it’s fair to say...

Art Style: Three portraits of Dean at Anton Kern

Last week my mother sent me this article about the artist Man Ray. In it, Man Ray is quoted as telling a curator, “It’s the subject alone that makes the interest of the photograph.” I didn’t have...

Art Style: Benjamin Senior at James Fuentes

NYFW Dispatch #7: Girls Who Wear Glasses

Samantha reminds me of a red-haired Aubrey Plaza. That’s a huge compliment. Very few ladies could rock white frames, but Samantha is doing it. Props. New York Fashion Week ended yesterday, and I am...

F/W 2013: NYFW #6

A simple equation: f(Maria in raspberry)=Magnificent. Taken outside the Theyskens’ Theory show at Skylight Studios. What is love? Love means being willing to go to any lengths for someone or...

F/W 2013: NYFW Dispatch #5

Matt outside the Details accessories show. Yesterday was so much better than Saturday. Oh my god. First, it was sunny. Second, my shoes weren’t ugly AND wet inside. Third, it turns out that I AM a...

F/W 2013: NYFW Dispatch #4

Ray–or blue on blue–outside the Highland show. David Hockney on my mind, I guess. Yesterday was long. It was the day of flagging courage. It was the day of snow piled up everywhere, water running...

F/W 2013: NYFW Dispatch #3

Tara at Lincoln Center, after Rebecca Minkoff. As you may have heard it is, um, cold in New York. Talk about the understatement of the year. To say that yesterday was brutal is probably more...

F/W 2013: NYFW Dispatch #2

Kim outside the Dannijo presentation. Yesterday was a triumph of layering.I didn’t quite get it right during the day, but when I left the house for round two, which included a brief stop at Dannijo...

F/W 2013: NYFW Dispatch #1

Gigi Engle of Caro Marketing outside the Lauren Moffatt presentation. Yes, it’s that time of year again. Fashion Week is back, and I’m excited about it. Today I had the pleasure of loitering...

SF Diary #5

Victorians across the street from my old office in Pac Heights. So I thought I’d wrap up this SF Diary (and this week) with a few last snapshots of my movements around the city. Hope you all have a...

SF Diary #4: The Radical Camera at the Contemporary Jewish Museum

As you’ve probably figured out by now, I love looking at art, and I love taking pictures of other people looking at art. While I was in San Francisco, I went to see “The Radical Camera,” a show at...

New York Diary: Lunch at Hauser & Wirth

Dieter Roth, “Sugar Tower,” my favorite piece in the gallery’s inaugural show, “Dieter Roth. Bjorn Roth.” The exhibition tells the story of a 20 year collaboration between father and son....

New York Diary: Andrea Bergart

Yesterday I spent the afternoon with the artist Andrea Bergart at her studio in Ridgewood. Andrea and I initially met way back in September, at a gallery on the Lower East Side. I photographed her...

SF Diary #3: Josh Faught

While in SF I had the pleasure of photographing the artist Josh Faught, one of the winners of SFMOMA’s SECA Art Award, which honors Bay Area artists. Rock on, Josh! Josh and I were introduced by...

SF Diary #2: The Fear Project

In case the lack of action on the blog didn’t make it clear, my trip to west was somewhat of a whirlwind. I think I had something to do every single minute of every day. When I got back last night...

My Styley Friend: MeiMei Fox

So I’m in San Francisco for the week. A business trip. I was lucky enough to be able to schedule things so I could attend the book launch party for my friend MeiMei Fox, who has co-written a book...

Art Style: Joseph Andre Motte at Demisch Danant

Happy new year! I hope that you survived/enjoyed the holidays and feel ready to take on 2013. I’m grateful for my much-needed break from various social networks–no Instagram, Facebook or Twitter...

Streetstyle: Coats

Isabel, first-year med student. I pulled my back a couple of days ago and have had to leave the DSLR at home while I heal. (Believe me when I tell you that it pains me–oh god, yet another pun–to...

Art Style: Cheryl Donegan

The opening of the Keltie Ferris show was an aesthetic treasure trove, both in terms of what was on the walls as well as the people milling about the gallery. The artist Cheryl Donegan was one of...

Art Style: Angela Ledgerwood

The Keltie Ferris show (that’s her work behind the lovely Angela) at Mitchell-Innes & Nash is so exciting: the paintings are large, the colors are vibrant, the shapes make you feel like shaking...

Styley Stuff (holiday gift edition): CCTV, Cynthia Daignault

I met the artist Cynthia Daignault way back in the fall, at Alex Olson’s opening at Lisa Cooley. I’ve had a friend crush on her ever since. In 2011 Cindy showed a painting called “CCTV Monitor” at...
