Chasing LightWelcome. This is where I share my work and also the work of others, those that inspire me, the weird, the great, the unusual.
It is a goddamn marvel this life. Take a look.
Istanbul | Kanaat Lokantasi
At Kanaat Lokantas in Kadıköy, Istanbul.
I spent a few weeks in Istanbul, taking the ferries every day. No agenda, no plans, just taking random ferries to the Asia side of the Bosphorus. I’d wander the neighborhood, shoot the streets and people, settle down some place for lunch.
Constantine | Tilda Swinton as Gabriel
There are few things finer than this casting choice and styling.
Hanoi | Big Toe
One of my favorite images.
The reasons?
Saint Petersburg | Vi, Chaise VII
André Kertész | Landing Pigeon, New York, 1960
This was taken around 59th Street where they had demolished the houses, and I saw a pigeon flying in and out.
Hanoi | Lunch
Shot on my favorite film, the original Agfa APX 400, printed on the legendary paper, Agfa 111.
Arthur C. Clarke | The HAL – IBM Myth
And I’ve been trying for years to stamp out the legend that the word, that the letters HAL was derived from IBM by one letter displacement.
Bucharest | Birthday Dinner
I was at a cafe in Bucharest and met this lovely group of people at the table behind me.
Helmut Newton | Cindy Crawford’s Legs
The woman in the image can be mysterious and to me I think it’s important that she is mysterious.
Cairo | The Bakery
I was lost in a neighborhood in the eastern part of Cairo. I had entered this warren of tiny dirt floored alleys and was wandering and unable to find my way out. I started to walk down an dead end when I saw this boy bringing out freshly baked bread.
Garry Winogrand | Leica M4
Garry Winogrand's Leica M4
Budapest | District X
“Draw, Antonio, draw, Antonio, draw and do not waste time.”
One of the few things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time.
Budapest | Semmelweis Egyetem
Roaming the streets in Budapest at twilight, I heard the sounds of music coming from one of the stately massive relic buildings through an open window.
Ann Ray | Willem Dafoe
In the middle of the night, a group of baboons came down and went through our packs and all that stuff.
Paris | Bugs Bunny, Cafe
We had finished shooting in my AirBnb and I took her out for a drink and some pastries.
Annie Dillard | The Death of Archimedes
During the Roman assault on Syracuse, Archimedes, oblivious to the tumult around him
Saint Petersburg | Vi, Chair VI
Saint Petersburg | Vi, Chair V
Belgrade | Tijana, Buckethead
I was shooting Tijana in Belgrade, a beautiful model, but things weren’t clicking, there was no rhythm happening.
