One of the world's great squares. Great restaurants, street performers, and artists converge here day and night. Lenny Kravitz once joined in with some musicians playing just below where I took this picture from. And not pictured but just to the right is the home of the legendary Cafe Du Monde.
Jackson Square, New Orleans, LA
Being on top of a building with binoculars is one of the coolest experiences you can give to a young person.
Grandpa Elliot is as close to royalty as you'll find, playing harmonica on the street of kings.

Shot headshots for Chicago playwright Jenny Seidelman. She was wonderful to work with and has some great projects coming up. Though I'm particularly intrigued by a now shelved play about Chicago's Eastland disaster. I hope that play eventually finds a theater willing to perform it.
This is one of my favorite burlesque photos, and one of the earlier images in my portfolio. Shooting burlesque keeps you sharp. It's like shooting sports, but in dimly lit clubs and there are no rules.
Lady Annabelle of the Belmont Burlesque Revue, shot at the Broken Hearts Bulesque Ball, 2009
For this shot I teamed up with fellow photographer and product stylist Carolyn Sinon. She needed some product shots for a project and this was one of the set ups we did. Warby Parker glasses, a map, and a journal. Three things I'll probably need in a few years.
Teamed up with burlesque star Deja Sue for some new portraits. Deja Sue has an incredible collection of oddities, including this tiny skull.
