Brian and the gorgeous bunny Christina Santiago (playmate of the year 2003) at the opening party. Oh and my two fave pieces in the show, by Gary Baseman and in the background, Atomos. So happy for you guys. Awesome new space!
TBS white musk re-design showcasing the logos embodying their core values. Product is associated with the White ribbon campaign to end domestic violence against women. The ribbon is removable so the purchaser can wear it to show their support. There is an extruded mark of the ribbon on the bottle once removed.
I bought this classic old Nikkor-P 105mm f/2.5 lens on eBay from former Playboy photographer Robert Scott Hooper. Hooper used to shoot Playmates with this lens, and he threw in a signed, uncirculated copy of September 1977 Playboy that included his award-winning pictoral of Debra Jo Fondren, shot with this lens. She went on to become Playmate of the Year. The lens itself has a long and successful history, and has been loved by photographers for more than 50 years. First launched in 1959 as a pre-AI lens, it underwent various changes until around 1990, but the optics remained the same. In 1977, Nikon launched the new Ai (Automatic Indexing) lenses, and at the same time it offered to upgrade older lenses to AI. This is one such pre-AI lens factory upgraded to AI by Nikon. Many other old copies of the lens have been crudely upgraded to AI by do-it-yourselfers. The lens gained great reputation for its sharpness and for its smooth "bokeh" (out-of-focus background blur). They still work beautifully with todays Nikon DSLRs, though they must be manually focused.
The paper and stickers came from Karen Fosters Running collection. Ive had it for about five years -- figured Id use someday it to document my race series.

I met Kelly Gallagher through one of my bosses. Kelly came up from LA to write a book to accompany a documentary film she is also creating. After I met her I went back and asked if I could take her pic for the 100 Strangers Project. Shes a five time cancer thriver and her heart is beating on her 5th pacemaker and a new heart valve. Another interesting thing about Kelly is she was married to a rock star drummer but now is dating a treasure huntnig pirate!. I have another photo of her in comments and she suggested I take one of her falling into the snow bank!
This picture is #94 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com
Ive been to this location a dozen times but have never had a good clean shot of this area because of all the trucks parked at the curb. Well today I finally got some good clean shots. This piece of Union Pacific Ave at Los Palos St in Los Angeles was the famous location for filming this dance sequence for the Michael Jackson Thriller video. I do this shot for the MJ fans around the world like my friends Roxy and Drecci that are not able to view this location in person. In one shot you can see the beginnings of a small memorial for the late great MJ.
Today at RBW we also saw the marriage of longtime Workshop Foreman Brian to his bride Christine. Having scrubbed up well, hes seen here leaning out of the cab of Routemaster Buses AEC RF MXX 280 in Hassell Street (!) Newcastle under Lyme. The happy couple actually look quite pleased ... or is it relieved the formalities are over!?
