I took a photo of One Direction on their first US tour. For the story behind the photo check out my AlfaFrens 👇
I wrote more about my Photographing Strangers project over on drivenbyboredom.com.
Today on my AlfaFrens I talk about my weird fishkeeping/ ornamental shrimp breeding hobby but I also posted a couple of NSFW photos of my friend Kirra to make up for it.
I took a photo of this dude who's name I can't remember but I was watching Bad Boys 3 the other night and he was in it, but also Bad Boys 3 was fucking terrible. Probably not his fault, but like, stop making terrible sequels.
My AlfaFrens story of the day is a good one... or a bad one really. I tell the story of the worst day of my life where I got served papers for a lawsuit at a funeral and then had my car totaled by a guy running from the cops on the way home. You don't want to miss this one... Link 👇
Who did this to me? Show yourself!
On my AlfaFrens today, I explain what's happening in this photo that I took in high school.
I took a photo of a girl with a down with the sickness throat tattoo.
I took a photo of Charlize Theron and a cell phone executive who made the phone I was using back in 2011 when I took the photo. He asked me if I liked it and I told him it was the worst phone I ever used even though he was my client at the time. That moment set off the worst customer experiences of my life, a story I told on my AlfaFrens today.
I took a photo of Dr. Cornel West at Occupy Wall St, long before his GOP backed run for president.
Another AlfaFrens story about a misspent youth. I admit to some crimes that hopefully are past the statutes of limitation by now including how I ended up with a giant Ronald McDonald head with an uncensored version of this upsetting photo. link.alfafrens.com/channel/0x8e3e8a63b9ac670e80e069b42336a968e7ef3cf8
AlfaFrens story time: That time I went to a stranger's house party so my friend and I could hook up in their bathroom.

Okay here's an invite link to /cute-animals. I welcome everyone. If you post garbage I will kick you out, but if you post cute animals or want to look at them you belong here. Bring the whole crew.

Why can't I just let /cute-animals be open to everyone? I don't see it anywhere in the settings? Why am I getting DMs asking for invites? I want everyone in here.
This is actually a diptych I have framed in my apartment. Two photos I took at the Giglio Feast festival in Brooklyn. We have a big wall of NYC images to remind us of home. Most of them are of other photographers, but had to sneak in a few of mine of the old neighborhood.
