Half-Frame

Scott Toepfer, who I worked with on the shoot in Portland, recently sent the picture above that he took of me with his half-frame camera. What a great tool for capturing glimpses of everyday life, I just might have to get one for myself.

Jens Lekman

These rainy days have me listening to Jens Lekman's, Oh You're So Silent Jens. I love this album cover and the melodies make me want to take piano lessons again. His lyrics are basic yet so descriptive...I particularly like the line in Sky Phenomenon where he sings "It's like someone spilled a beer all over the atmosphere." Another of my faves on this album is the defeatist's anthem, Black Cab.

back!

Came back from Portland yesterday after shooting for about 5 days. I had so much fun with our photographers Jeremy & Claire of Day 19 and their crew. It was my first shoot so I found it to be a whirlwind of excitement and challenges. What a surreal experience, I learned so much and was so lucky to be part of it all.

Here's some pictures I took that show behind the scenes moments, J+C did a great post of the shoot on the Day 19 blog as well. The real deal stuff has to be saved for when the campaign starts circulating this summer.
