Calm Before the Storm

I feel like I am in the calm before the storm.

Monday I leave for Europe to cover the mens shows in Florence, Milan and Paris.
Return to New York and immediately host two parties for the opening of my first solo exhibit at Danziger Projects.
All while negotiating to shoot two ad campaigns and finalizing the contract on a dream project that I am dying to announce on this blog.
(not to mention that before I go, I have to be the subject of a fashion shoot for a really cool magazine - I am more than nervous to be in front of the camera this time)

All of this coupled with the fact that it has been extremely cold in NYC has led to a very tough shooting week.

I always knew that it would happen. All the things piling-up and feeling the temptation to shoot things that I might not really love but feel I should shoot just to have something new on the blog.

I am proud that I continue to resist that urge and that my readership is willing to give me the freedom to shoot what I (and you) can be passionate and proud of!

I take your vote of confidence very sincerely and it really bums me out when I don't have a few new shots every day. I feel good though knowing that you will return the next day ready to have a lively and fun conversation about style and fashion.

Next Tuesday will begin three to four months of intense shooting all around the world. I am tired just thinking about it but I can't wait to get going and take you guys along for the ride!

(ps - if you are in the area please stop by the opening night party for my exhibit at Danziger Project on January 22nd from 6-8pm, - I feel like this is really a party for us more than just an opening!)

The Sartorialist for Men's Ex

I am very pleased to announce that I have begun a monthly page for the Japanese magazine Men's Ex.
It is a really great magazine with a flair for classic but hip Italian clothing which is very close to my personal style.

here is a link to the blog run by the Editor-in-Chief of Men's Ex Kentaro Matsuo Men's Ex blog

What I like most about this look is the very sophisticated color combination of the greeny-blue sweater with the blue jkt plus the jean cut pants.

Time To Break Out The Boots

I saw these at Freemans Sporting Club last Spring but by the time I found them it was too late in the season to wear them.

I think they look like the lovechild of a moccasin and a pair of Air Jordans.

Has anyone worn these?
What do I need to know?

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everyone and thanks for such a great 2007

I am so ready for 2008. I took a little time off from shooting over the holidays but most of that time was spent thinking about how to make the blog even better in 2008.
I think I have come up with some really great and very achievable ideas that I will begin implementing soon.

I also have a major announcement that once the paperwork is all signed I will be very pleased to announce.

As you know I try to keep my eyes and ears open to your requests (such as larger images and separate window for comments) so if you get a chance let me know if you see any little things that could make the blog even better - I can't promise anything but I am open for suggestions.

My original idea for the "shopping guide" was way too ambitious but I have retooled my thinking and hope to have something up and running by April 2007 (kidding)

I also want to do some more of the Style Profiles that I did when starting the blog.

Above is a scanned postcard that I bought at Rizzoli of Montgomery Clift shot by Ida Wyman.
I just love this shot.
It seems every December I read articles about how to make the tux "new and modern". I don't think we need to make it modern I think we need to remember how we use to wear a tux.
