Now on to the playoffs and the chase for the MLS Cup. Good luck boys, knowing your fans will be there with you every step of the way.

Have you ever had one of those neighbors? Not the one that makes your life miserable, but the other – the one that enriches your life. That was Adam and Taylor. Adam and Taylor were dream neighbors – quiet, respectful, super interesting. Even our dog Duke and their dog Soul were besties. Life is good when you have awesome neighbors. During their time living in the granny flat Adam bought a vintage Italian Vespa. I would occasionally see the 2 of them come and go on the scooter. I loved this romantic vignette of youth. Before they moved, I shot a short video and some portraits to capture their spirit. We miss them already.

For some time now I’ve been working to recreate a look I’ve been shooting on film for years. The “look” is from my Yashica Portrait series, shot on film, with a vintage camera. This new approach is all digital. These film characteristics combine a distinct color profile, graininess, and a bit of punch in the shadows. I also love how they retain the intimacy and rawness from the original series. I’m hyped to shoot more portraits using this new technique. Reach out if you or someone you know would be a good fit for this style of portrait. I’m always looking for interesting subjects.
Right after the final game snack and right before the Annual Parents Kids Showdown….
