We actually went on Google Earth to try and approximate as closely as possible the featured areas, with longitude and latitude.

"Phil- we have to do something with this suit". Sure enough, a few weeks later we were shooting an accessories fashion story. We enlisted Larry Q, one of my neighbors, apparently the only person we could find that would fit the part, and fit into the suit.

Not wanting to cast "pretty boy" models for this one, I lucked-out when I did a google search, finding that the cast of the Roundabout Theatre Company was actually rehearsing to take the play on the road. A few calls later, we had the ultimate cast. All 12 members agreed to be part of this shoot, and actually rehearsed their lines for us, giving the story a real feel. Photographer Matt Hoyle brought an amazing point of view and texture to the shoot. Note: If you haven't seen this movie, you owe it to yourself to rent it from netflix, or at the very least view a few clips on youtube.

Based on the west coast, the owner Shinmin Li has an obsession with making just about anything into a cake. After approaching her with the idea of making several handbags out of cakes, she went straight to work. We had the cakes shot out west and had the fashion produced in NY. She was able to get on a plane to NY with one cake so that we could integrate it within at least one fashion shot. Amusing Anecdote: When she got to the airport, Homeland Security INSISTED that she open the silver bag, not believing for one second that the bag was made entirely out of cake and frosting.

While the job at hand was to feature the latest collections of designer handbags, the intent, and the undertone, was also to bring awareness to the public about what these products represent in the bigger picture. Striving for a more conceptual execution, we turned to ace photographer and longtime friend and collaborator Kenji Toma.

No photoshop manipulation on this one! By printing backdrops on matte paper, we were able to create a setting for the little peeps, which were bought in a toy train store.

We developed the idea to use these as the starting point for a women's bathing-suit story in a summer issue. Striving for the more conceptual, I turned to ace photographer and longtime friend and collaborator Kenji Toma. The story line was that of a man doing time in a penitentiary, having a bizarre obsession with these pens. The story was nominated for an ASME award in photography, one of the highest honors in the industry. The story was also noticed by a website dedicated to Floaty Pens called "Float About ".
