Featured photos
My 80s clothes: the Preppy Polo
I never really went through a preppy phase in the 80s however I did buy some preppy clothes as these photos prove. I also bought three pairs of colored pants: sky blue, white and yellow that each came with a cloth belt that I promptly threw out after the first vomit stain. Pro tip: wear dark colors to keggers.
Despite my appearance in the photographs, I never wore more than one polo shirt at a time and I never flipped the collars up. Not all of my self-respect was abandoned in the 80s. Although I did tuck them in.
Polo shirts, double layered: inner purple shirt by Calvin Klein, outer hot pink polo by the now defunct Oaktree brand. Both 100% cotton and purchased in 1984 or 1985 at the Northland Mall north of Detroit.
Pink and green striped 100% cotton sweater over the shoulders by Izod purchased in ’84-’85.
Self portrait with surf board in the background taken in 1989 at Miami Beach.
Winter portrait
It was a sunny and warm February day in Los Angeles on this shoot but I wanted to do a moody fashion and portrait shoot near the beach and on it. I was hoping for an overcast day but no such luck as the typical sunny California day showed up.
As it turns out, it worked out perfectly as we got some fabulous shots utilizing the late afternoon winter sun to our advantage and using shadows where we could and then laid some moodiness on top of that in post.
Dead ends
I love shooting in the desert. Film, still photography, any kind of theme, it doesn’t matter.
I love how the beauty and the vastness of the desert creates a feeling of being alive and how that contrasts with the possibility of death at any moment and the death surrounding the Salton Sea.
