I just stumbled across this photo I shot late last year in the most recent issue of Main Line Magazine. The photo is of Howard Taylor, who through an interesting turn of events became the owner of two very nice restaurants in the area. We shot him at his restaurant on 12th street, a New Orleans’ style creole place called “Les Bons Temps” (The good times - I think - my French isn’t great).

You can read the article here.

I was very happy with the photo selection that was made because I felt that the really warm colors in the dining room area (where he is sitting) reminded me of my time spent in New Orleans for Rethink over the last two summers.

Not for nothing, it was the type of assignment you wish all assignments were - the subject was easy going and fun to be around and the setting had an appealing atmosphere (Not to mention, the food is great and the beer selection isn’t half bad either)

Below are two out takes from the shoot I also enjoyed.

Several weeks ago, one of my favorite bands in Philadelphia - Papertrigger - approached me with some pretty awesome news. They had gotten into SxSW. Of course, this meant we would need to do some new press photos.

Always a good time , I signed onto the project right away and we started to brainstorm ideas.

Brian, the tallest member of the group, lives in a fairly sweet loft building so we figured it would be fun to just hang out there for the day and shoot in a couple different scenarios. It was a very cold, early morning, but it was a blast.

The photo above was shot by Thom Carroll who was nice enough to assist me even though he was just in town visiting on vacation.

We also had a little fun with a bear costume during the shoot.
