Vaguely Ethnic


 What are you?  I dunno, a human. No, no, I mean where are you from? Um, New York. No, like where are you from?


For some reason, I get this a lot. The answer is not very interesting (half Jewish half WASP), so I try and mix it up. I throw a little latino in the mix, sometimes I'm a quarter African, one time I was 1/16 Chinese. But in all honesty, I am vaguely ethnic. I don't like to commit to a single geographic area.

These photos were shot in Rumi Tsuda's studio (she just happens to be my aunt). It is a place that aestheticizes the mixture of peoples and cultures. Her work deserves a post in itself, but check out her website for a sneak peak.

The Cape, Cod that is: Hunting at the Wellfleet Flea Market



Until this weekend the only flea market that I had been to is the Brooklyn Flea. That market is characterized by girls in platform shoes and boys in plaid shirts, it's a hip fucking joint. The Cape Cod Flea market is not hip. It is not cool. It is not young. It is mostly full of junk and vendors who seem to have a hoarding problem brought on by several years of light meth addition. But fiiiine, I'll admit it, I bought a few things, and I love em'.

My Ikea Fascination Continues.... With Bros, Kittens, and Baby Instructions

What is it about Ikea that I love so much? Could it be the Lingonberry Jam? The swedish meatball special? Wait- that's only the food. Really what I love is the feeling that if you buy this couch, no matter how ugly- your life will be orderly, clean, and happy (If only you could assemble the damn thing!). Obviously I am not the only one with Ikea addiction...

The Stepford Wives of Ikea



I moved last week to a beautiful apartment. But after years of living in college housing, bouncing between coasts, and living at my parent's place I didn't have a single piece of furniture. So off to Ikea it was! That Swedish wonderhouse of cheap furniture just begged for a photoshoot, so I obliged. Betty Draper eat your heart out.

Baby Love: Chick Rock for V Magazine

Baby Love my Baby Love. Inspired by The Supremes but with an almost Beatles-esque look, these girls channel the pop bands of the 60s. I only wish that I could do cat eyes like these babes.

4th of July n' shit



In honor of my recent move to Williamsburg and my landlord's absence, my brother and I decided we had to take full advantage and have a rooftop BBQ. Who needs the Hamptons when you've got a tar slicked rooftop and a New York sunset like this?
