Jon Paul Debut EP, Playing Sunday Dec. 18 at the Living Room

This fall I worked with Jon Paul, a talented singer songwriter, to produce promo photos and EP artwork for his debut release. Jon Paul and I spent an afternoon roaming the West Village looking for settings and light that would suit his music. After the sun went down we had a burger at the Corner Bistro and talked about NYC and music. It’s a pleasure to collaborate with an artist who puts som much care and vision into their own projects – and the music, in my opinion, is excellent, establishing a clear identity that builds off songwriting influences such as Ray LaMontange, Paul Simon and James Taylor.

Jon Paul will celebrating the release of the new EP at the Living Room this Sunday, December 18th at 7PM. The EP is also available on iTunes.

OWS Portraits in Mother Jones

In the new January/February issue of Mother Jones magazine, I have 3 portraits created on assignment of early organizers of Occupy Wall Street – Amin Husain, Sandy Nurse and Bobby Cooper – at Zuccotti Park only a few days before the raid and eviction.

If you’d like to check out the issue, MoJo publishes the entire issue digitally for free, just sign up on their mailing list to view.

Also, inexplicably, my giant head appears on the top of the contributors section (for alphabetical reasons only, I assure you). Big thanks to MoJo P.E. Mark Murmann for the opportunity to work with the magazine.

RIP Howard Tate, J Blackfoot and Hubert Sumlin

Over the past few days, 3 incredible and unique musicians passed away. I was very lucky to have the opportunity to make portraits with both Howard Tate and J Blackfoot (of the Soul Children) and photograph a performance of the third, Hubert Sumlin. I’m thankful for the music and for the brief moments spent with these extraordinary people.

1st Dave ‘Baby’ Cortez LP in 40 years on Norton, Cover Photo

Greasy Rock n’ Roll connoisseurs Billy Miller and Miriam Linna of Norton Records will be releasing a new LP by R&B instrumental organ great Dave ‘Baby’ Cortez this month, his first since 1972′s ‘Soul Vibration’ album. Effectively retired from showbiz for 40 years, Miriam Linna had tracked down Dave through his son David Clowney, a professional football player who recently played for the N.Y. Jets. With the help of veteran soul saxophonist Lonnie Youngblood and production Mick Collins (The Dirtbombs, The Gories), D.B.C is set to release a back-to-the-gritty-basics organ album that I am really excited to spin on the turntable.

Bonus: Here’s a photo we shot in the stairwell of the recording studio, NY-HED, that I liked a lot.
