Aaron Huey

While on tiny vices a few weeks ago i looked through Aaron Huey's gallery being the first of a long list of many remarkable photographers, i decided to start there. Now, watching this devastating piece from TED.COM about the Lakota I recognized the images, and hearing the story behind them as the images faded in and out just went to show how closed in we are with these things happening in our own backyard. Please take a look.

A WHITE STOREE

A shoot i did for my FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY class assigned within the first week of class was inspired by the italian vogue spread A WHITE STORY shot by PAOLO ROVERSI in april 2010. With my own twist on things I set out with the help of ROBIN LINVILL as the model and assistant DANNY MEDINA I'd say we had a pretty successful shoot. All taken in my bedroom by the window while listening to the NEW YORK NOISE compilation we had a blassst check em out
