Imitation of Life

Mime and Photographer

Representations of the world, each in his own way, from Grovefest. So how come the mime isn't shooting an imaginary camera?

It's unusual to see a left-eyed shooter. When I zoomed way in I saw he was using some high end equipment, a Canon 5D Mark III and, I think, a 16-35mm L Series f 2.8.

A New Orleans Photographer

New Orleans 2013-03-19 31

I met Christopher Porché-West on the evening after I shot my TV commercials in New Orleans last week. His studio and workshop is at the corner of Burgundy and Desire in the Bywater neighborhood. Could there be a better address? It was across the street from the place where we had dinner so we went in for a look.

The place is a gorgeous, tiny museum. You gotta watch the video on his website to get a sense of his view of America's most exotic, mysterious city. If you find yourself in New Orleans, you must visit. Once you've been, you'll understand why.

Portraits of St. Louis Artists - Thomas Shepherd

.
Thomas Shepherd, a photographer, has the unique position of having been featured on this blog twice. I first met him last summer, during St. Louis' annual artists open studio weekend. He has his own space at Soulard Art Market and that's where I photographed him both times. Click here for the post about him on July 27, 2008.

Shepherd always seems to have a puckish quality when I meet him and his work is full of appropriate wonder. Check out a selection of his work
here. Doesn't he look cool in the tuxedo?


WHEN IS THE NEXT FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME?
Now. Soulard Art Market did a little feature about me and this series on the gallery blog.

Portraits of St. Louis Artists - Garrett Roberts

.
As promised, we are stating a little series of portarits of the artists I met at the Soulard Art Market gallery last Sunday. Garrett Roberts is a photographer who has permanent space there (so you can go check it out any time). His mix of images done in infrared, hand-colored or shot with a Holga is fascinating. I just love his photo in the bottom picture, a cartoonish bowler passing in front of the Arch in a parade, shot with a Holga. Garrett, hold that one for me. I'd like to buy it the next time I'm at SAM.

Do yourself a favor and browse through Roberts' web site

WHO WAS THAT POTENTIAL NEW CLIENT WHO CALLED ME YESTERDAY?
A former lawyer who is picking away on a Ph.D. thesis in constitutional history. Don't get a lot of that. Awful serious medical problems, though.


TOMORROW:
the Thursday Arch Series is back from break, along with a new Arch photo on Gateway.
