Here’s something you should all get excited about, Robert Frank books and movies getting re-released!
Steidl has started The Robert Frank Project which is basically re-printing some out of print titles and rare books and films of Mr Frank’s to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of The Americans. I believe about half are available already with the rest coming out by 2009. They even have a catalogue on their site documenting the time they spent with him re-issuing these amazing books. Check it all out here. And check out this bookshelf we just had built to hold them all, the Ikea shelves and stacks on the floor just weren’t cutting it anymore.

The painting in the middle was done by Mr. Travis Millard.

We updated our ever growing Polaroid Project and are finally editing it down a bit for volume 1 of the book to be released later this year. There’s a nice interview y’all should watch that aired on NBC news this past Sunday with the man pictured above…http://video.knbc.com/player/?id=267745

and here are the photos we all shot together.



Thanks to Isaac for giving us the chance to shoot MIB, it was a memorable one for sure (we listened to his CD the whole way there and the whole way home). And thanks to the always wonderful Amy Chance for her hair/make-up/grooming skills.
XLR8R TV did a nive litle episode on our good friend Christopher Duncan and there’s a ton of great Aya footie. You can watch it here.

Yesterday, Claire, Eli and I went down to the West Hollywood courthouse to shoot portraits of same sex couples signing up for marriage licenses for NPR and it was a media frenzy like I’ve never seen before. Since we aren’t newspaper photographers or paparazzi we’ve never really dealt with the madhouse that is event photography. Literally everywhere you looked there were flashes popping. Luckily, we weren’t really covering the event but rather shooting portraits of people so we didn’t have to deal with the pushing and shoving and jockeying for position that the other picture takers had to deal with. It’s a madhouse I tell ya. It was pretty emotional getting to see some couples who have been together for 30+ years finally be able to call their significant other a wife or husband and everyone had a great story about why they decided to brave the long wait to get hitched the first day it became legal knowing their wedding would be crazy. Why is same sex marriage even an issue? And who are these people who are so against it? Here are some photos of people that got married yesterday on NPR’s website. Click the photo gallery.
