Record player






A recent visit from our friend Roman Bejnar gave us a wonderful reason to spend the night gathered around the new studio record player. Records spanning a 60 year range of time were played, warming the room with their sound.

Street World is on the streets

This book was the bane of my existence for nearly a year. Days of resizing photos, creating numerous grids, contacting photogaphers, file prep, etc. etc. etc. I never thought it would be complete. Nevertheless, it exists. I first saw it in the Barnes and Noble bookshop window at Union Square.


Street World was printed in four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German) in five countries (US, UK, FR, ES, DE) with a first edition of over 50,000 copies this is one of the largest projects I've worked on. And not only in circulation; the book is nearly 400 pages and just about 9 inches square. Photos from a great number of professional and amateur photographers alike, including Angela Boatwright, Peter Dean Rickards, Robby Redcheeks, Erbierto Oriol and many, many, many more.




Get your copy of Street World on Amazon. To see more photos of the book, check out our portfolio.

Flipped over car at K&A el stop



I had some errands to do in Center City today and as usual to return home I took the Market Frankford el to the Kensington stop. As I walked down the 3 flights of concrete stairs I could feel something had gone wrong. The large crowds of people intently looking with worried and confused faces into the middle of Kensington Ave. confirmed my suspicions. A black SUV had somehow lost control, finally coming to rest upside down and on top of a another car. It couldn't have happened more than 10 minutes earlier, as police were just putting up yellow "Police Limit" tape. Aan ambulance had just pulled off, rushing the passengers of the SUV to the nearby hospital. I only had a few seconds to snap these photos before jumping on the 60 bus.

Never a dull moment.
