The Opera House is what people think of when they think of Sydney. It’s easy. I happened to attend an event inside the Opera House, and I can say it’s worth the effort. Sydney is beautiful, and bathed in that …
Just Listen: Chloe, Cockatoo Island
This girl smolders. Like the soot on the walls of this place. You’ll see. The future is her roadmap but she’s driving now. Already out there making things, and with a foundation I found commendable and honest. (Yes, there’s an …
Dispatches: Peter Cramer
I pounced on Peter a few short days after he ushered a new baby into the world, so a major “thank you” is in order here. When I received the directive to travel to Sydney I knew I needed a …
Dispatches: Jaki Arthur
“I’m not really sure what a book publicist does,” I said. And this is how our conversation began. I met Jaki the night before, and because Australians are so nice, she didn’t baulk when I asked “Can I come over …

READ: Letters to Mom
Madre, Dad’s outfits were really bad. This should have been an indicator to all of us that he wasn’t well, but let’s face it, fashion knowledge, or sense, were not part of his skill set. I will forgive the 1970’s. …
Dispatches: Moshe Rosenzveig
Rumored to be the largest photo festival in the world. Head On. And he is the director. CAN YOU IMAGINE how many people are after him? And he was cool enough to sit down with me less than a day …
Just Listen: Zombie, Bondi
My first real portrait with the SX-70. She is nice, like everyone here. Halloween, but it doesn’t feel like it to me. I’ve got to work, and besides, I’m not at home. Far from it. The other side of the …
Dispatches: Remo Giuffre´
Remo Giuffre´is a unique individual. The assignment began like this. “I can’t go to Australia so you are going.” “Okay.” “What’s the mission?” “Remo.” This innocent conversation turned into a remarkable experience, one that led me to the far reaches …
