Buy a boob polaroid for $20. Each one is unique and 100% of the proceeds will go to my sister’s non-profit organization, Rocking the Road to A Cure, which provides resources for women with breast cancer.
If you are interested, send me an email for arrangements to come see all the boobs.

P.S. If you would like to pass on the boob, and just make a donation to Rocking the Road for A Cure, please email me as well.

Please join my studio for a holiday cheers. There will be discounted clothes by my studio mates, Bodkin, Samantha Pleet, Covet and beautiful jewelry from Dirty Librarian Chains. I’ll be offering up photos of boobs (a percentage of the profit will be donated to breast cancer non-profit run by my sister), some Holster zines, copies of the new SWALLOW MAGAZINE, and maybe some proof prints.

Upon the official announcement that Barack Obama would be America’s next President, Gary and I roamed the streets of Park Slope and Downtown Brookyln. Hundreds of fellow New Yorkers filled the streets inciting impromptu fireworks, parade-esque drumming (on mailboxes), dancing, hugging, crying and cheering. New York’s attitude had been flushed away by the sheer joy that Obama’s victory brought us. Even the local police joined in and set uo barricades allowing us to spill into the streets.

Here is a video I shot from the corner of 5th Ave and Union Street in Brooklyn.

I worked for Danielle Levitt my first two years out of college. She sent me all over the place searching for quirky teens for her to photograph. We Are Experienced, her first book, is filled with images capturing strange and beautiful youth across America. The book comes out this November.

Gary and I did a letter “W” for Spelling Change, a project supporting Barack Obama’s campaign. Check out the site for more information. We’ll keep you posted on some upcoming events for this project.

This was my small contribution to the Polaroid Kissing Wall.

Louise Sturges & Katharine Barthelme pulled off a great opening for The Instant, a show embracing the polaroid, last Saturday night. My digital camera is very sick, but luckily there were plenty of picture snappers there.

Some more images of the Kissing Polaroid Wall by the adorable Elizabeth Spiridakis.

I’m still in the market for a muse as well. Feel free to suggest a friend, neighbor, or yourself.

Come up to Maysles tonight for a screening of Who Is Bozo Texino, Bill Daniel’s soon-to-be (if not already) classic film about freight hopping and hobo graffiti. After the film there will be a Q&A, and a book release for Mostly True, the companion book to the film that Phil, Rich, Sam and I lovingly labored over for the first couple months of this year.
