Zombie Photos
My friend, Shawn Laasch recently mentioned me on Facebook, to which I responded. He was working on enhancing some of his photos with Photoshop for a Zombie movie he and his brother are working on. He needed pretty quick turnaround on these, so I wasn’t able to give them as much love as I would [...]
Self-portrait (Inside)
I took this shot with my Hewlett-Packard iPaq 3700. It’s a self-portrait reflection of me in one of our frosted-glass tables that we have recently given to Mayday. These tables were beautiful, chrome, and super-spacey, but also super sharp and all Tami and I could think about was Sophie once she started walking falling over [...]

This question came up particularly with the 8×8 Remix Series I’ve been working on. As I’ve been working Microsoft projects for so long I’ve started to co-opt some of the [...]

Alicia Dooley
We had a party at the Brooklynhaus that attracted police helicopters and the police forcing DJ Erok to turn down the music he was spinning in the center room. Off that room was the bathroom and the secret door to where we had all of our computer equipment. Alicia Dooley and her boyfriend Mike Tracey [...]

Paul Cooper
This piece began with a photo contributed by Paul Cooper, one of my friends and co-workers at Avenue A | Razorfish. It really was a great photo to start with. Paul took it using a digital camera in the bathroom of his apartment. I was able to mirror the background which got rid of a [...]
