Architecture shoot in the Navajo Nation

Earlier this year I spent a week shooting two assignments in Southeastern Utah, one of them was a story about Design Build Bluff for D2 magazine. The writer and myself had the opportunity to meet with some very inspiring people, among them Poet Lorraine Nakais. Though a bit reluctant to be interviewed for a story, she soon opened up and we spent a couple of hours with her, guiding us through her house and talking about life at the Navajo Nation.

I'll post the second story in a not too distant future. 

PDF Update

I've updated the PDF section with some new work so if you need a downloadable overview of my work, this is the place.



New Inc!

About 2 months ago I moved in to a new shared workspace (at least part-time) called New Inc. It's a new Incubator conceived by the New Museum that brings people together from the Art, Design and Technology world. Needless to say it's a really facinating mix of creative minds all sharing an entire white walled (for now) floor next to the Museum.

My main focus will be to continue developing a new body of work after Suburbia Gone Wild and I think this is a great place to explore new ideas, technologies and concepts.

Summer in America

Summer is officially over, at least here in the US. During the last three months I had the opportunity to visit a couple of new places while on the road. I usually try to stay an extra day or two when I'm out on assignments in order to discover the area in my own pace.

This Summer I stopped at Willie's Fish Pond in Virginia (which I first thought was a sea food restaurant). I met a homeless man who perform a flawless dance routine to Chic's Le Freak at a bus stop in Detroit (he was not waiting for the bus) and shot a tremendous amount of images of skyscrapers in Lower Manhattan (don't know why, I just love it). Oh and I went Upstate as well.... but more on that next time.
