IF YOU DONT TELL THEM UNTIL THEY GET THERE, ITS HARDER FOR THEM TO SAY NO…

THE SET UP (aka the speed round)

THE SHOOT (just for fun!)

OUTTAKES (Proof that I don’t actually like ci******es)

For the horse lovers, the equestrians, the little girls who ask for a pony, and the dads who have absolutely no idea what they’ve just agreed to.

I found this vintage board game called Horse Show and immediately loved how perfectly it summed up the equestrian life. Entry Fees. Pay for Leather. Go to Barn. At some point I started to wonder if it was a game or simply an accounting exercise.

Add a family gathered around the table, a dog who refuses to be left out, and you pretty much have the horse world in a nutshell: tradition, competition, a little chaos, a lot of love, and an alarming number of expenses nobody mentioned when you bought the pony.

The family and I made a quick escape to the Hamptons. I had a photoshoot in town, and we had been looking for an excuse to see the newly reimagined Hedges Inn. And while I was there, I figured why not hop in front of the camera for Sarah Wetenhall Untitled Talk Show.

What the Wetenhalls have done with the hotel is pretty remarkable. With the very talented David Netto , they’ve given this historic inn an entirely new life. It feels fresh and considered, but still completely at home in East Hampton which, in a place with this much history, is no small feat.

I was especially happy to create a collection of custom black-and-white photographs for the hotel, leaning into that wonderfully nostalgic, slightly preppy Americana spirit of summer out East.

One of my favorite parts of what I do is working with great designers and clients and seeing where my photographs end up. A photograph can live one way on its own, but put it in the right room, surrounded by the right wallpaper, furniture, books, and people, and it becomes part of a much bigger story.

And I’m always happy when my work gets to help tell that story.

In the name of selling art, I’ve officially succumbed to the latest tik tok/instagram trend. I’ve heard it’s a slippery slope…

P.S. this took me three hours 🫣

Summer Break.
Day 72. Everyone’s doing great.

No long-winded explanation, it’s August, I’m tired, and frankly, the photograph is doing all the work for me.

Part of the my series “Please, No Photos” this limited edition print is available framed or unframed in multiple sizes.
HONESTLY it’s one of my favorites.

Pool House (2023) - I’ve always loved this image. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes “Deep summer is where laziness finds respectability”.

I also love the juxtaposition of this grand house and the inflatable kiddie pool. To me, this isn’t about luxury. It’s about comfort. It’s about knowing that on certain summer afternoons, the thought of getting dressed, driving to the beach club, making small talk, and finding a chaise lounge feels like far too much effort. So you blow up a $30 pool, pour yourself a drink, and call it a day.

There’s something wonderfully eccentric about choosing the easier, sillier option. I can picture my wife doing exactly this.

Sometimes the height of summer luxury isn’t going somewhere. It’s deciding you don’t have to.

The wide shot is what draws me into a room. The details are what keep me there.

As much as I love a beautifully designed interior, my favorite photographs are almost always the quiet vignettes. The stack of well-loved books. The collection that took decades to assemble. A favorite chair that’s actually been sat in. The heirlooms, the travel souvenirs, the fresh flowers, the evidence of children, dogs, and dinner parties.

I think the best designers understand that perfection isn’t the goal. Personality is.

The houses I’m most excited to photograph don’t feel overstyled. They feel lived in. Layered. Collected. They tell you as much about the people who live there as they do about the person who designed them.

Great interiors aren’t finished when the designer leaves. They get better with time.

These videos are AI. The photographs they are based on are not. For me, that produces an interesting conundrum.

I take enormous pride in the fact that my photographs are made in the real world. The houses exist. The people exist. The dogs, horses, alligators, and assorted chaos all exist. We actually found the location. We waited for the light. We convinced the kids to cooperate for at least thirty seconds. Every image represents a real moment, however improbable it may seem.

In a world where it’s becoming harder to tell what’s real, I think authenticity has value.

At the same time… how incredible is AI?

It’s one of the most exciting creative tools I’ve seen in my lifetime. It can extend an idea, build a world, tell a story, and let your imagination wander far beyond what a camera alone can capture. Just as film gave way to digital, and digital photography embraced Photoshop, AI is going to reshape creative work. Fighting that feels about as productive as arguing with the tide. And I certainly don’t want to be left behind.

I’m not afraid of the tool.

I’m only afraid of the tool replacing the creator.
Part of what makes photography great is knowing the effort it took to get the shot. It’s the human element that allows the viewer to wonder what happened right before or after these people put lampshades on their heads or lit the cigarette. Can you see my internal struggle? What are your thoughts? Do you like these videos?

One of the things I’ve learned is that you never really know which photographs will resonate with people.

The images I think are destined to be favorites sometimes get no attentions, while the ones I nearly leave behind end up becoming the most talked about. But I’ve also come to believe that an overlooked photograph isn’t necessarily a bad one. Sometimes it just hasn’t found the right audience yet. Or maybe it’s the kind of image that doesn’t stop people mid-scroll but quietly steals the show when it’s hanging on a wall.

That’s why I’ve stopped judging photographs too quickly. Every image deserves a chance to breathe before I decide what it’s worth.

With that in mind, here are a few that I think deserve a second look.

Do you have a favorite?
