Hitting the [Blooper] Mark

Last weekend, Niki and I went into the photo studio to document a few pieces I’ve designed and made over the years. (Keep an eye out for the posting of those images soon!) As with any shoot, there are times when we get that knowing feeling that we’ve captured a sacred moment. And then there are other times – the ones where divine comedy strikes, and the two of us just succumb to awkward hilarity and giggle fits. Since we were shooting digital instead of film, we (or more so Niki) had a chance to capture the candid faux pas and silliness. Here’s a few choice moments from the proof sheets. Enjoy!

Oprah’s Where Are They Now: Chilli Pepper

Back when I was working on my graduate thesis, I had the pleasure of getting some makeup and style coaching from Chilli Pepper. Since then, we’ve gotten to know each other more and have remained friends. Here she is featured on Oprah’s Where Are They Now series. And yep, that’s me and my friend Paul with Chilli shortly after the 5 minute mark.
