I’m so excited to announce that my documentary, Naked Ambition: An R-Rated Look at an X-***ed Industry, is back on Tubi.

You can watch it for free here: https://tinyurl.com/szb9f8v4

Love to know your thoughts after viewing.

Ancestry, the site/app, can be pretty amazing sometimes, especially when someone you’ve never even met, like a second cousin once removed, posts a piece of your past. I don’t know this relative, but they shared a photo of my great-grandmother Filomena and my godmother, Cousin Jena (my mom’s cousin).

Filomena didn’t speak a word of English, and every time she saw me, she’d squeeze my cheek and say in Italian, “Oh Mikey, you’re going to be a doctor.” Loved her like crazy… but I guess that didn’t quite work out. LOL

My amazing wife, Elizabeth Waterman with her gallerist and a fan from the RCA London in the booth at Photo London. So great to see her work getting this kind of attention.

Hi all, as some of you know, I’m on the advisory board of Los Angeles Center of Photography and support the organization in every way feasible.

On Wednesday, June 10, the LACP is hosting a fundraiser in honor of Frank Ockenfels 3. If you can make it, please join. I’ll be there that night if I’m in town.

We had such a great time at Photo London. I had work at the Iconic booth and met the photo curator at the National Portrait Gallery USA. Elizabeth Waterman was at the other end of the hall showing her work with Albumen Gallery. A pretty perfect London trip.

Two weeks ago, we headed to London for Photo London. Elizabeth Waterman ’s gallery there, Albumen Gallery , gave her half the booth to show new work from her project, Propulsion. So proud to see this work out in the world.

Remembrance of Things Past: This brings back memories. There is a very good and practical reason I do not live or shoot in Boston anymore. I think we were waiting in the cold for a dead firefighter to be pulled out of a building for hours. I was heating my sneakers on the exhaust of an ambulance until the tops melted from the heat differential.

Oh, give me a cozy studio with good catering, please!!

I believe this is from George Rizer of the The Boston Globe. Thank you.

In the digital age, dominated by smartphones, watches, and glasses that capture photos in an instant, billions of photographs are captured every day. Sunsets, dinners, concerts, streets, people, places, and things have never been photographed in history as much as now. People are constantly taking haphazard photos to publish on social media. Making photographs begins with taking photos. Make no mistake, there is a purposeful difference between taking photos and making photographs.

History tends to simplify things.

When it comes to punk, that simplification usually starts and ends with New York and London. CBGB & OMFUG. S*x Pistols. The Clash . Those stories are well-documented, mythologized, and repeated so often that they’ve become accepted as the full picture.

But that version leaves something out.

Hi folks, I’m looking to sell one of my businesses as I work to simplify and focus my time a bit more. ProStorage is a small, profitable company in the photography/tech space, with mid-5 figures in inventory and several patents.
