The City of Krakow hosted a month long Photography Festival and chose my Garageband series as one of the exhibits. They flew me in, put me up in a hotel, and even printed the show. It doesn’t get much better than that. Big red banners and flags were all around the city announcing the event. Here are pictures from the EXHIBITION. Call me an idiot but I never went into an old church or museum. I was content to just walk around observing the little things. This is what I saw in and around the various Streets.

Did a nice little 10 page spread for San Francisco Magazine on the town’s Best Coffee. I told them I just wanted to use a point and shoot. Their design director, Ellen Zaslow, is a joy to work with. Blue Bottle, Coffee Bar, Ritual, and Trouble Coffee (see picture) are all winners.

THE HOTEL CHELSEA. This New York landmark was everything I thought it would be and more. For a look at all the art and some of its inhabitants, look here. I was in town for a release party for our Hamburger Eyes book at the amazing Powerhouse Arena.

Check it out: Hamburger Eyes, THE BOOK!!
Hilarious yet scary, hardcore yet charming, the Hamburger Eyes crew put out the illest lil’ photography magazine the world has ever seen. Since the first issue of 30 xeroxed pamphlets was printed in 2002, Hamburger Eyes has become an elegant yet underground periodical combining the documentary approach of National Geographic with the hit-‘em-hard sensibility of a late-night tagger. A pictorial history of both the intimate and iconic moments of everyday life, Hamburger Eyes is a travel journal, a personal diary, and a family album. Inspired by the traditions that began with LIFE magazine and Robert Frank, the magazine revitalizes the sensation of photography as a craft as well as a tool to record and document.
