Brian Sowell// Portraits of Friends// Set 5

Brian Sowell is the most evil person on Earth. When he smiles, it's the most evil smile on Earth. He has a van, it's the most evil van on Earth. He has a dog, Natas, she is the most evil dog on Earth.
Aside from all his evil, doomy ways Brian is an extremely talented photographer and plays a mean bass guitar. I like Brian.

Cameron Amick//Portraits of Friends// Set 3

Cam was in the Navy, he loves to tell stories about the Navy, he has Navy tattoos, he even drove a Fiat Panda in the Navy. He likes ships and mopeds. He also a ships boxes during the day, but at night he loves nothing more than to cuddle up on the couch with a nice glass of red wine and read poetry. He is a refined man and can cook up a mean portchetta.

Never Forget.

8 years goes by fast. I remember it like yesterday.

Moped Racers.

I love mopeds, almost as much as photography. Polini started a race series this spring and it's been a life changing experience for myself and others. Nothing else is like it, it's terrifying, yet the most fun I've ever had. These are some portraits of my friends and fellow racers. More to come next month, after the final races.

Life After Denim//Fall '09

I've had the pleasure of shooting for a great, new, menswear company called, Life After Denim. All the people behind this company are all really talented and totally awesome. Fall '09 is out and available at Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, and more. Check them out and buy yourself a nice coat or shirt for fall.

Nick Sapiro//Portraits of Friends//Set 2

Nick Sapiro is one righteous dude. He spends his days at Choke tending to Dirt Wizards needs, repairing mopeds, jamming sweet tunes, and yelling at the neighborhood bums. At night he can be found swooning the sweet ladies, playing Xbox, recording magical music, and listening to Coast to Coast AM to the wee hours of the morning.
He rules and always has a sweet story to tell.

Ben Klevay//Portraits of Friends//Set 1

My friend Jennifer and I started this project to showcase our friend's talents. The idea came about as a way to compile all of their talents and interests (mopeds, cars, etc..) into one place and show them off. A website is being built and will profile each person, stay tuned for that.
These are the portraits of each person. Every couple of days I will showcase another person, in no particular order.
First up is Ben Klevay. He's an awesome designer and an ever more awesome dude. His drawings are stellar and his laugh is contagious.
