BA on the Gypsy
life as i know it

hangin with b.a. at the beach

yesterday i visited my friend b.a. at the gypsy, a mutual friend’s amazing houseboat that is docked at a marina in the rockaways.  we hung out at the marina, drank wine, toured the boatels, ate dinner on the roof of the boat, drank whiskey, crashed a marina party, and drank beer.  it was a great day.

another thing you should know about b.a. is that she a brilliant video artist.  she creates ambient and psychadelic video projections that she controls from her keytar…her KEYTAR!!! how rad is that???!  i think it’s radder than the tuxedo bathing suit that B.A. is rocking in this photo, which is pretty rad.

Stumps the Clown

The geographer Peirce Lewis called New Orleans the “inevitable city on an impossible site.”  The wildlife that flourishes mirrors the human life that flourishes. These photos are from a new body of work I’m working on about this metaphor – weeds push through the cement, vines crawl through fences, and friends’ and acquaintances’ characters shine through the dust and sweat that makes up the City.

I see the city as magical hub of growth, hope, and resilience as reflected through its landscape and its people.  Whether my subjects are native to the area or come from other places, they each contribute to the life and culture of New Orleans making it a vibrant place in which to live and create. I am constantly inspired by their strength and eccentricities, and each image is a gesture of admiration and an opportunity for me to celebrate their beauty.
