And here is a crazy statistic that became far to obvious while I was visiting -
Between January and June 2010, there were 95,357 foreclosures in South Florida*
In Miami Florida 1 in every 120 housing units received a foreclosure filing in August 2010.** In Homestead Florida (zip code 33035) 1 in 10 housing units received a foreclosure filing in August 2010.**

back from LA...
I just returned to New York after spending 5 great weeks in LA. The first 3 weeks I worked on a show that is up at Cherry and Martin until December 12th, 2009 I will post pictures of the show soon.
I was asked by the blog dot com dot co dot uk (a great site about LA and London) to do a project on LA. I chose to take pictures of the LA river. see it here...
Shigenobu Twilight
NY artist Anicka Yi and architect Maggie Peng commissioned me to take photographs of their fragrance Shigenobu Twilight.
"The fragrance is inspired by Fusako Shigenobu, former leader of the Japanese Red Army, who was believed to be in exile in Lebanon for many years after orchestrating some of the group's most political statements. Yi and Peng have chosen cedar wood as a central theme of this fragrance's narrative, as cedar is highly regarded in Lebanon as a national emblem. The scent uses three different kinds of cedar wood as its base note, along with violet leaf and nutty heart notes, and top notes of yuzu, shiso leaf, and black pepper. The packaging for this hand-distilled fragrance is made of raw cedar wood, each bottle uniquely hand-cut by the creators in architectural geometry, encasing a 10ml glass bottle of liquid within."

2010 United Bamboo calender...
It's a bit early to be thinking about what to put on your wall in 2010 but I want to share a couple pictures from a project that I just shot with United Bamboo. The super talented Miho Aoki and Thuy Pham made cat size versions of some of the outfits from the 2010 spring/summer ready-to-wear collection. The end result will be a limited edition United Bamboo 2010 calendar featuring beautiful kittens in United Bamboo Ready-to-Wear. Email help@unitedbamboo.com to reserve your copy...
