Here is Wil at the JCCC2 2nd annual Paul F. Tompkins Moustache formal sporting his custom made D20 fez made by Fez-O-Rama. He is looking a little evil, as he knows he is favored to roll a 20.

Scott plays guitar for Marian Call when she tours. Part of the fun of the boat was pretty much anyone who wanted to do something could book some time in one of the several bars and lounges when no other activities were going on. Scott is a great singer song writer in his own right and took some time to play a set in the Piano Bar. His blues/jazz/bluegrass style is a bit different than the nerdy theme on the boat but it was great to see the diversity in the performers. This is one of my favorite portraits from the trip. He was also voted in as the Ambassador of the beards at the annual Paul F. Tompkins moustache formal. Cheers to Scott and his amazing beard!

The performers on JoCo Cruise Crazy 2 were fantastic. Every show that they had was on par with most of the best shows I’ve ever been to. They do such an amazing job of working together and making every show special.
From the top left, standing, we have Dammit Liz, Scott Barkan (from Marian Call’s band), Chris Collingwood, Molly Lewis, Wil Wheaton, Storm DiCostanzo, David Rees, MC Frontalot, John Roderick, Robin Goldwasser (aka Lady Flans), John Flansburgh, and Marian Call. From the bottom left, kneeling, we have Joseph Scrimshaw, Adam Bernstein (JoCo’s bassist), Vi Hart, Jonathan Coulton, Paul F. Tompkins, Paul Sabourin, John Hodgman, Christian Cassan (JoCo’s drummer), and Scarface.

I just got back from a week on a boat. I was photographing Jonathan Coulton’s Cruise Crazy event. Now in it’s second iteration we sailed the high seas of the Caribbean from Half Moon Cay, to Aruba, and finally Curacao. This year I was invited to be the official event/backstage photographer and had an absolute blast. In the following few weeks expect a large amount of images to be posted here as well as my Flickr page. Please check back often as I have many many favorites.

Getting back into the swing of posting this year. Here is a close crop of a shoot I did of a friend of mine with part of his new shoulder tattoo. The tattoo was done at Calypso Tattoo by Dan DiMattia in Liege Belgium. This shows the resolving power of the Leica M9 and a 1946 Leica Summitar lens as well as the intricate detail of Dan’s tattooing style.
I have been working with the clothing and accessories designers at Below the Deep and had a great time creating their new company logo. They have some super soft scarves for sale over at their Etsy shop. Enjoy our little holiday fish!

I am in London and found this nice chap on the street. He was hocking magazines but our beard solidarity allowed him to take a minute to pose for this photograph. It’s always nice to meet another beard as luxurious as mine, as they are more rare than one might imagine in the UK.

This is my friend Bacon. He is a very busy dog. When he isn’t working the room at his job as greeter at the Dickson Hair Shop in NYC he is busy tweeting. There isn’t anything this dog can’t accomplish. From making the squeaky toys squeak to taking well deserved naps in between ridiculously cute facial expressions, he is the complete package. What else would you expect? His name is, after all, Bacon.

I have been on a swimsuit advertising job in Maui, HI this week and was able to catch some great light with my camera. Here is a 4 shot panorama captured with my M8 and put together in Photoshop. It really is that beautiful here.

I have been following the nerdy awesomeness that is Jonathan Coulton (affectionately known as JoCo) since I saw him at the insistence of a friend at a few years ago at PAX East. He just came out with a new album called Artificial Heart that truly rocks. The other night I got word that he was going to be playing a free show at the SoHo Apple Store, with his full band, so I went down to watch him rock out some new songs and entertain the crowd with some old favorites. It was a lot of fun and hopefully he will play more NYC shows soon despite his busy Nov. tour schedule. Jonathan is the guy who wrote the ending songs for the video game series Portal-perhaps you’ve heard of it. I was right up front and got some fun photos with my M8 and 50mm Summitar from the 1940′s.
