I am deeply saddened by the loss of Kim Shattuck. I’ve been a fan of her band, The Muffs, since 1994. After shooting them live at Amoeba Music c-2006, she told me she was really into photography and wanted to assist me. We worked together periodically from 2006-2009. I loved hearing about her tours and recordings with The Muffs and The Pandoras. She was officially on my list of assignments as the bass player for The Pixies, whom I shot for the New York Times. It was a pleasure to work with her for so long, and she will be sorely missed. Many condolences to her family and friends. #kimshattuck https://www.instagram.com/p/B3KT6D4g1uT/?igshid=v0xyc0hje4o1

Variations on a theme. Two shots, two printing approaches on each. I spent a little extra time in the darkroom to make prints that were different (the first example of each image) than the straight prints (the second example). Making straight prints is nice. Making something other than straight prints is nicer. . . . #darkroomprints #analog #miyafolick #yesplzweekly https://www.instagram.com/p/B3CpspLgx_9/?igshid=1bid6iidsfihw

Miya Folick for Yes Plz Weekly. This has happened before. I have a shot list, and I shoot it. Solid, environmental portraits that I’m super happy with, and that fulfill the client’s needs. If the opportunity is there toward the end of the shoot, I’ll try something weird. With Miya, the weird thing was dragging the shutter for 4-8 seconds and scribbling light behind her. It was fun, somewhat unpredictable, and a couple of the frames turned out great. I shot some on digi and some on film. There are times when the experiment falls flat and the shots never see the light of day. Aaaaaaand there are times when the client likes it so much, they put one on the cover. They even ran a contact sheet!! I’m super stoked about this one. Thank you @tonx, @caitlingdennis, @thommeredith, @bradklemmer, @joshuadavidfisher, and of course @miyafolick for killin it. . . #miyafolick #yesplzweekly #beansnzines https://www.instagram.com/p/B24XxDpgwN9/?igshid=6n4kif3jfxzc

UNESCO has added eight buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to their World Heritage List, some of which I’ve visited in recent years. I live two blocks from the Hollyhock House in Los Feliz, and I walk over when I need an injection of inspiration (not from the homeless encampments along Hollywood Blvd below). I photographed the site’s curator, Jeffrey Herr, for the NYTimes back in 2015. #franklloydwright #unescoworldheritage #hollyhockhouse #losfeliz #barnsdallpark https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzsrn7GAsVL/?igshid=7200coqigztx

UNESCO has added eight buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to their World Heritage List, some of which I’ve visited in recent years. I grew up not far from Fallingwater, and visits to the house at a young age made a lasting impression. #franklloydwright #unescoworldheritage #fallingwater #kauffman https://www.instagram.com/p/BzsqJ2OAso7/?igshid=o4eulc9r9xa8
