...I MISSED COACHELLA?!...

yes, it's true, i missed coachella. for those of you who dont know what coachella is, it is the biggest 3-day music festival in california. just to give you an idea of who played this last weekend...here is the poster



and beyonce showed up to sing with jay, thom yorke played some radiohead...the list literally goes on and on for how dope it was. i had vip passes, and i missed it.

but i didnt care.

know why?!

i became an aunt for the first time!!! some of you are gasping...'WHAT?! YOU MISSED THE WHOLE 3 DAY FESTIVAL?!', but some of you know exactly why i don't care even a little bit, and why i was literally at the hospital for all 3 days. becoming an aunt for the first time is one of the most amazing moments i have had in my life so far. i can only imagine that having my own is the one thing that can top it - ok, and getting married too! i was the second person to hold her (after my sister and her husband)!! she is the most perfect little angel i have ever seen, and i am still in awe of her.

here we are together for the first time



so, yeah, i'm sure coachella was amazing, but i'm pretty sure my weekend was even better. and i will apologize to madison in advance...you will have a camera in your face for the rest of your life, sorry. :)

...COME BEHIND THE SCENES...

wanted to share another video from an editorial i did for the winter 2010 issue of eliza magazine. this shoot was a dance movie inspired story, meaning, we chose some of our favorite dance movies and re-created moments from each film. the shoot ended up taking 4 days to complete, so we have broken down our behind the scenes videos into separate parts. here is the first!

grease and breakin'



and here are the images...

grease




breakin'


what made this shoot so cool (besides the obvious), is that we used models AND real dancers! in fact, some of the best, most recognizeable dancers in the world.

you may remember devin jamieson in the grease shot from 'this is it', the recent michael jackson movie!! we also got to work with michael riccio, and jimmy federico. our breakin' dancers were shonnie solomon and aja george

our beautiful model for grease, was natalie fabry, and our gorgeous breakin' model was kate herman

as usual, the team was awesome, gia harris on makeup, nikki providence on hair, and nra kudelka on wardrobe. thanks to alex smith, my assistant on these two movies, and to nicholas bentley for the amazing video.

...SHOOTING...

today is a super busy day...i am on location shooting for the hundreds. not gonna tell you too much, other than it is gonna be awesome, and i am shooting guys this time!

i am really excited to finally collaborate with the hundreds, and cant wait for everyone to see what we have dreamed up.

i will keep everyone posted, we are shooting a video, and when the issue comes out, i will expect you all to go out and get it...ok, not really, but that would be cool. anyway, behind the scenes stuff to come.

in the meantime, the heart and soul of the shoot is built around the idea of urban displacement...marinate on that one, and check out some of my inspiration images...
