MiniFarmBox

I know its almost Thanksgiving and everyone is thinking about the Harvest, but here in Southern California, It's time to get the winter vegetables and greens in the ground! 

Our neighbor and friend Conor started this great business minifarmbox.com. Well we thought we would try out one of his Rolling Patio Boxes on our deck to see what we can start harvesting this winter. 

Conor  also introduced us to his friend Nysha at Ardenwood Edibles. She is amazing and runs her own business landscaping and helping people grow organic gardens . 

We came up with a plan of what we can grow and she did a map of how we should plant it. 

 

It's great because the box rolls and its so nice to have it growing close to the kitchen... so we have easy acess:-) Henry likes it too

Hopefully we will have a good amount of greens this winter to supplement our diet :-)
Thanks Conor and Nysha

Ye Olde Gentleman's Shave Day

Hanging out with Patrice and his cousin Bobby in NYC, Bobby asked if I had ever had a straight razor shave , like at a barber, To which I said no. Patrice was sweet enough to treat as they both agree to get me in on the experience. I was a little nervous at first but then realized what a relaxing luxury this is!!!! And what a close shave! I felt so dapper! Next Bobby promises to take me to a cigar bar to smoke a cigar and enjoy cognac...you know to round out the whole "Gentleman" experience.

 
 My Barbar cringed when I said I had wanted the whole body shave;-) 

Patrice got this great shot of the Barbers we went to!

 

Thanks F.S.C. Barbers, Patrice and Bobby

Its Fall and check out the Cover :-)

 I just received a copy of my Fall PBTeen cover ... Getting the shot was a hilarious site ... I was on the ground and the four models were throwing the quilt high above there heads and then back down on me.... over and over and over  ! They were real sports and did such a great job

 It did make for a new and dynamic cover:-)

New Video Project

I recently collaborated again with Byron and the house dance project and stylist Leilen Lopez on a fashion forward, experimental, house dance video!

I met Byron when I photographed his house crew in 2006 . Byron is a super amazing guy with incredible talent and drive.

So Grab a drink, get comfortable and take a look,( its 9 min long :-) )
