Poached

My good friend Kirk launched a new business, Poached, which is a kind of jobs listing service for restaurants, bars and hotels. Sort of a high end alternative to craigslist with a much cooler interface. Anyway he asked me to shoot some chef tattoos for him to use in promos, etc.. Here’s a few:

More new work…….

My friend Lauren Henkin made a compelling case on her blog for saving work for the experience of seeing it printed and finished and the risks of showing online. The average website stay is something like 37 seconds, so it’s doubtful anyone ever takes a considered look at worked seen on the web. The briefest of looks, judgement made, “Next”.

So I’m having doubts about the wisdom of leaking this work in this way considering the project is still taking shape. In other words, I’m not sure exactly where this thing is going. Then again, I miss those dinner potlucks with friends we used to hold regularly, wine and photography. Throw down some work prints and ask for opinions from people who know you, your work and what your sensibilities are. Casting risks of overexposure aside once again, I’ll throw down a few more to share. In a few weeks I may come back and delete all these, or re-arrange, edit and organize them better. But for now, here’s a couple more. Please forgive the lack of continuity and obvious technical flaws, dust spots, etc..

Sneak Peak – New Work #5

I’m continuing to scan, have about 55 now. These images I am posting are akin to viewing work prints as they have had little consideration as to whether they work in the context of this body, much less any sequencing, etc..

New Work – Sneak Peak #1

Last spring I drove from Memphis to Portland over the course of 7 days and made pictures along the way. Last week I began the tedious process of scanning negatives. I’ll be posting some sample images over the next couple weeks so check back for more. Here’s the first.
