German dinner

celeb work just out

Moran Atias..
from her pub. Jane OH MY GOD, Moran looks unreal! Thank you!

totally f**ked by a cab thinknning I was a tourist

in the cab with my sis and hub. flagged a cab from battery park where the ferry's come in. strapped with a camera, sunglasses and my family in tow, we looked like tourists from middle america.. jeff to cab driver "bleeker and christopher" a $6 cab ride at best and 10 minutes away. the asshole takes us up the fdr to houston and crosses over.. a brilliant moment for me. i did not stop one screaming at him calling him and idiot who prey and robs tourists. i was not gonna have any of his shit. such a pain in the ass.. totally scammed. non stop berating and upon arrival, i threw 6 bucks at him and left the cab with 22$ on the meter.. FUCK YOU cab driver. don't mess with NYkr's. you are lucky I did not turn you into the taxi police.

moral to story. don't look like a tourist when you flag a cab downtown, you may be taken for an expensive ride.

my sister laughed and was delighted with a tour of lower manhattan, lower east side, east village, soho, greenwich village and finally the west village

playing tourist in my hometown NYC

been back form germany for a week. f**ked up my knee in munich.. so I spent all last week with my leg on ice and elevated. The weekend arrived fast with a trip to dc to retrieve my prints form the show. They been in storage at the inlaws. I gave a print to them and they loved it! Always nice to make someone smile.
NYC came fast on Monday morning only to find my sis and husband in the pad for a few days. Return a car to LGA, take big and iggy to the vet and viola tourist for 36 hours.
Here is a nice pic from my travels around the city.

today in munich

a little shot from today.. starving now.

2nd night in Munich-dinner

last nights dinner with my very very sarcastic friend Sandra and my friend Daoud whom looks like Lou Ferrigno after a litre of lager. Lucky for me they took me to my first beer garden. It was like a giant American BBQ with beer, but better and in a foreign country. I was in complete awe, wished I had my camera camera instead of my iPhone..
Hundreds a nd hundreds of people on a cool beautiful July evening, the first day after many days of storms. The Germans were out and ready to party on Monday night. YES!! My kind of country! A nice gathering of lager swilling Bavarians and a nice night for me as well.

I was notified that we would be eating and drinking here.. I was a tad intimidated standing in line staring at huge medieval renaissance sized jugs of ale that were as tall as I am, paired up with HUGE pieces of meat on gigantic bones. Women and men running around in their traditional garb. TOTALLY COOL!!

ANyways a pic of my food..
Mystery meats- Brawtwurst and and the meatloaf in which Sandra told me was delish!
tasted like baloney, but crisper on the outside


YUM YUM

OFF TO GERMANY ON SATURDAY

I am off to Germany on Saturday for two weeks of shoots, meetings and photo. A little nervous traveling all over with luggage and camera's.. But hey F*^k it.. YOu only live once.
I will try to post from the road.. Well see!

This week is non stop shooting. Advertising all week in the studio and shooting the main lead of the Cohen Bros new film on Wednesday. Double header. Non-stop fun for me!

cheers

must give a shout out to my pal Andy Hetherington of "what's the jackanory" fame, who just celebrated his birthday over the weekend. I did not make it to the party which I heard was the weekend draw in NYC.. Cheers mate

what does one of my pics look like unretouched

Just to share a little about my pics, I thought I would go out on a limb and show you an unretouched photo from a recent shoot. So unprofessional!!

If you are going to give me shit about this... keep it for yourself.. Just being open here..

another quick trip to LA.. celebs

yea another quick trip to LA, twice this month. no complaints. never touched celebs or musicians since the beginning of my career after having a few very bad experiences, all of them not my deal, nothing to do with me. it all really left a bad taste in my mouth. after that i promised myself that if i ever photographed celebrities again, it would be on my terms and i would not bend on my vision of what i wanted from my shoot. and it have stayed true. i can't show a pic of what i shot, but i can give you a behind the scenes shot. no pun intended. kayla with anthony

casting on a rainy day can be sexy

Just when it can't get any better.. someone beautiful walks in
