Okay I'm really sorry but in order to keep myself grounded I'm going to post random photos in my back catalogue in this thread. Hope you enjoy:
my buddy Kenwyn
a diorama 15 years ago in Calgary
a fun accident when I duplicated some adjustment layers from another headshot into a new one I was working on
smoking is bad for you but it looks really fucking cool (this was a stage prop cigarette)
a broken teacup shard that mysteriously appeared in our backyard.
a photo taken on the rooftop of the duomo in Milan (my hopes, sympathies, and warm wishes to everyone in Italy right now)
a couple on the Bund in Shanghai
a long exposure experiment with a dancer (no photoshop, all in camera)
a beach at Cinque Terre, Italy
a shoot I did to show off a hairstylist's portfolio.
Fred, our backyard squirrel, during simpler times.
Fred again, taking a snooze on our sun-warmed fencetop.
Talisa, behind the scenes, getting her makeup touched up for an outdoor shoot that was ostensibly a fun in the sun set for her agency but ended up being shot on the coldest, darkest, greyest September day of the year. What a trooper.
back in the saddle: I was testing a new lens here.
Loved this shoot. I had to style it myself at the last minute using the old trick of H&M + saving the receipt.
. @britttanych being lovely and looking incredible as always.
outtake from a candy-themed fashion shoot for Mode Models (you can see the hand of the stylist ( @plants_n_rocks I love you and miss your work!) making a slight adjustment)
I did a set of mugshot photos of all the attendees at a bride's bachelorette once at the start of their evening.
backstage at a fashion show. feeling the weather.
a tiny hunter: mid-howl.
my poor model between shots: dressed in fall fashions but really in windy winter weather.
a more flattering photo from the same set. Elizabeth is astonishing, kind, and shockingly game for anything.
a beautiful street cat I saw while travelling in Jordan.
Okay I should wrap this up but here's one more: I hate photos of myself but @RianneMcZ took my camera and created this amazing shot of me and @shereenzink a couple months ago (remember January? When the world was new and full of possibility?)
Thanks for putting up with my stuff, hope everybody's holding up!
Morning friends! I hope you all slept well but if you didn't that's okay too, I get it.

Thought I'd show some travel photos; I'm not nearly as experienced at travel photography as portraits but I try.

Here's a picture by Kowloon Bay in Hong Kong
(yes I suppose it's cheating by really being a street portrait)

street cat eating fish tails in shanghai
puppy taking a nap in Marrakesh.
Honeybees attracted to a bakery counter in Chefchaouen
Our guide stunting in a truck going top speed through Wadi Rum (they filmed Lawrence of Arabia here as well as any film that needs to be set on Mars)
view from an air balloon: like I said, if you want to shoot Mars on location, here's where you do it.
You have to get up pretty early to ride the air balloon.
Early morning in Petra

(Imagine that, a photo of Petra that isn't The Treasury)
Hey friends, hope you're enjoying a nice lunch.

A street cat on the island of Hydra.
Walking out to the lighthouse at the end of the Jetty in one of Crete's Venetian-style towns.
There's a town on the isle of Santorini that, for orthodox easter, lights around 6000 candles across the rooftops of every (thankfully stone/plaster) building in the town as soon as sun sets once a year. It takes 15min and pretty much every man in their 20s there to do it
A little closer to home. This is the Bradbury building in downtown LA (probably most famous for being the flooded out apartment complex most of Blade Runner's action climax takes place in). Note my wife Jackie's cameo at the left edge of frame.
…and now it's time to get back to work for a while. Hang in there, friends!
