Cover shoot, Duke Law Magazine

These are some images from my photoshoot yesterday with Josh Cogan. It was a great day for shooting, despite some initial friction with a Capitol cop who told us: "You're not breaking any laws. But if you're hanging around taking pictures of vehicles, there's some people that just don't like that. There is a man over there with a rifle that has been watching you. I can't tell you what to do. But if you continue to do this, we'll probably have to hold you for an hour and a half... and that would be no fun for you."  So essentially he had no authority, but was harassing us because he could.

We just moved to a different part of the Capitol grounds and continued to shoot undisturbed. All images © Josh Cogan.

Power Pirate: Band Logo

I met Power Pirate a few months ago when they approached my friend, Sarah Massey, about doing P.R. for them. The remarkable thing here is that they're high-school kids. I think 15 years old. They take themselves and their music very seriously, and after going to one of their shows, I was taken by their work ethic and creativity. I designed this skull mark for them to make stickers and t-shirts. We're hand-screening the shirts tonight -- it should be fun!
