Dickies Model
I modeled some Dickies wear for the Workstylz.com site I’m working on currently. (I mostly shot though – being in front of the camera gives me a frustrating lack of control and I don’t like it as much as taking the images). Surprisingly comfortable, I now live in my Dickies jacket and pants. The site will include the other two models as well – Seth and Adja. It was a great shoot, and the resulting images are strong product... Read More

The Stop Snitching Files
Its official – I have signed on to do the sequel to “Death Before Dishonor”, as editor and writer. These days, the editor role in my case usually means heavy story direction. I am truly excited to be doing this project, as a rebuttal to our first film on the topic. I am working with Rich Murray again, of Invincible Pictures, and we are baggage free this time around. If you are interested in being interviewed for this documentary,... Read More

Thought and Spirit of Love
A man asks his rabbi, “Why does God write the law on our hearts? Why not in our hearts? It’s the inside of my heart that needs God.” The rabbi answered, “God never forces anything into a human heart. He writes the word on our hearts so that when our hearts break, God falls in.” - Jewish allegory AND “What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, “Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out...

Touching and Moving
Anthony, Wendell and some buddies hugging it out There is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom of each person who has known and loved it. -Albert Camus This weekend, the Church of Smile descended on Union Square and gave free hugs and candy. The Church is not a religious organization, but a collection of good friends who believe in social change, one person at a time. Started by Anthony D’Onofrio...

The Art of Living
Art has something to do with the achievement of stillness in the midst of chaos. A stillness which characterizes prayer, too, and the eye of the storm… an arrest of attention in the midst of distraction. -Saul Bellow I had an interesting weekend. Lots of art, lots of struggle, lots of seeking that silence to create, despite the noise of struggle. Art is prayer and play, meditation and mess, distraction and definition. Downtown, on Kenmare,... Read More
Reconfiguration Of Modern Life – Plan2Evolve.tv
We are reconfiguring our view of modern life, and that means re-framing how we look at ourselves and our impact on our environment – both the physical and metaphysical. Part of that re-framing is looking at the underlying conflicts in our lifestyles and how we are triggered on them, to the point of mass distraction. From food to porn, drugs to debt management, email to cell phones, we are distracted by a myriad of modern encumbrances that... Read More
