Izabella Miko

2010-06-13T23:31:00.000-07:00

Izabella Miko, a great actor. A freezing cold getting hit by rogue surf and being made to lay on rusty lobster traps and still look pleasant sort of actor. She looked good doing it and complained less than any of the rest of us wrapped in sweaters and voicing concern about getting stranded at high tide. She really did look lovely. The crew was so enamored with watching her that my assistants forgot over and over to tell me when the waves were coming up behind me.

A little ballerina came to the studio for a portrait. It was quiet and we just used the window for light. It was a lovely way to start the morning.

I am over the moon about this camera generously bestowed upon me by 2 dear friends. My dream camera. My "hangs on my neck all the time" camera. My always ready just in case something lovely happens camera. My "take a picture even if something lovely doesn't happen" camera that makes the most beautiful little click sound. My "can make even commonplace things so exquisite", camera.

Today I saw this on a blog. There were images of our Lost Things stop motion piece. I did a "auto translate" and i LOVE what it said.
I love it when people iron my work several times in succession.
People are lovely. I believe it.

Je viens de tomber sur ce très joli film en stop motion réalisé par la photographe Angela Kohler (allez voir, sur son site, son carnet de notes new yorkais est ravissant). Je n’ai pas grand chose de plus à dire sur ce film si ce n’est : vite, vite, regardez ça comme c’est joli! Je l’ai bien repassé trois ou quatre fois de suite avant de me décider à vous faire partager ce petit bijou, histoire qu’on s’exclame tous en chœur :)

(on est bien d’accord, c’est très Alice in Wonderland, tout ça?)

La voix, derrière les images, est de “A fine Frenzy“, si vous allez sur leur site, plein de morceaux sont en écoute et certains sont pas mal du tout. Voilà, c’est tout pour aujourd’hui, je retourne travailler. Belle après midi sous le soleil!

Et surtout, merci Fanny, pour cette si jolie découverte (comme toujours, sur ton blog)

which translated to this:

I have just fallen on this very pretty film in stop motion accomplished by photographer Angela Kohler (be going to see, on his site, his report card new yorkais is delightful). I do not have thing big furthermore to be said on this film if it is not: quickly, quickly, look this how it is pretty! I ironed well it three or four times in succession before deciding on me to make you share this small jewel, history that they cry all together:) (they agree, it is very Alice in Wonderland, all this?) The voice, behind pictures, belongs of " To fine Frenzy ", if you go on their site, full of pieces some people are in listening and are quite a lot of whole. Here it is everything for today, I turn work. Nice after midday under the sun! And especially, thank you Fanny, for this so pretty discovery (as always, on your blog)

2009-12-07T00:32:00.000-08:00

Mel's fight was yesterday. I always get jellolegs when my kid sister takes hits to the face, but she seems to give more than she gets, and it's fun just to see what she comes out wearing. This time a black tutu. Such a little thing, in those big glove. She won her fight, which was nice, and didn't get bruised about the face, which was even nicer..

When shooting crowded situations, Ithyle and I run diversions for each other sometimes... "Hey look kids, there is someone over there who REALLY wants to take your picture with both your thumbs in the air, smiling to beat the band. YES, run over there, kid who is in EVERY shot, shoving right to the front...."

2009-04-03T18:32:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I look out my window and the most interesting people walk by. Of course you can't help wonder where they are going, who they are. I started a portrait series today of the people that pass my apartment at 16th and Main Street. Such simple authenticity. And maybe the pictures don't answer the "where and who" of the people who walk by, but maybe they do a little.

I live here, where the roar of the behemoths tattoo my window, belly full of indifferent shadows, hunched over plodding lives, vomiting soot on the sheers that blow and flutter with the tide of motor and footfall. I lean way out and crane, you at my buzzer in a puddle of vapor, gold and humming, a guitar on your back.

Decent

2009-03-07T21:30:00.001-08:00

Sometimes
I think I am only mad at night
wild and imperfect
lounging hungry and lonesome
too full of howl and coney island
waiting to
burn and burn and fall
out of beds left blazing and useless and sudden
finding other ways to settle this score
a boxing ring circus
Allen and Jack leaving a bread crumb trail for the devil
standing shivering speachless and slouching
a pound of flesh in the palm of a quaking hand.
