I love using the Canon G11 to film things that I see along life’s interesting road. Here is the lovely Poison Waters in Phantom of the Opera, filmed at Darcelle’s in Portland, Oregon.
Video is here. (Quality is not as good as the video I shot of Jack White in Dead Weather…not sure what happened on the upload to YouTube.)

I love a good indie band. Here are The Hugs….definitely a band to check out. They are setting off on another European tour soon, and needed some updated promo photos before they leave.
And after the shoot, right as we were packing up, they wanted to shoot a quick video. I grabbed the camera, and here is my first attempt at shooting a music video!
I dug this photo out of the archives for someone, and then thought I should post it here. I was in Harlem the night that Obama won the presidency. This was at Sylvia’s, and the house was rockin’.
A few years ago, I asked a painter, Margie Smeller, who has Downs’ Syndrome, to paint one of my photos of Torina.
I then had the idea of asking her to paint several other commercial photographer’s images. This resulted in a show that paired her paintings with each photographer’s photographs. The pairings sold, and proceeds went to Margie as well as to three charities.
A link to that show is here.
When I visited Mary Ellen Mark last month, she was struck by Margie’s talent. She asked if Margie would paint two of her images. Here is a pairing of one of Mary Ellen’s images:
This is Margie, and her website is here.
Not with guns and rifles.
But with all of the care and sensitivity you have in every part of your bones.
It took various visits, and a slow introduction to lights and different people to get a series of shots for the newly launched magazine, 1859.
Video of part of the shoot is here.
Shot with a Canon G10, in very low light. Hey! I did not know I liked taking video so much.
Jack White, The Dead Weather, Roseland Theater, Portland Oregon.
