Acts of Love
Jay B recently shot a series of portraits for San Antonio Magazine’s feature on Acts of Love. One such act of love was that of Paul Rusesabagina, who the movie Hotel Rwanda was based on. Paul recently moved from Brussels to San Antonio where Jay B photographed him. Pick up a copy of this month’s issue to see the feature and other photographs.

Sunday Times of London
If you happen to live across the pond and can pick up a copy of yesterday’s (December 20th) issue of the Sunday Times of London, you’ll see some of Jay B’s work in the Style Magazine. He shot a portrait of professional pick-up artist Adam Lyons with his wife for a feature on Adam and his pick-up artist lifestyle.
Live Now Updates

Brandon Barron
Brandon is the man. He’s a good friend of mine that I met while in college, and just recently moved to Brooklyn to work on film sets.
He’s also a great photographer, probably one of my personal favorites. His photos are often unusual as first glance, carrying unexpected compositions, frequently of candid moments of unsuspecting subjects or locations most people wouldn’t give a second look. And it’s not until you view his work as a whole that it really begins to make sense.
We were talking about our work one day, when he said something to the effect of, “beautiful stuff happens everyday… and that’s what my photos are about.” Once he explained that to me it really made sense. His photographs are of these daily ephemeral moments — subject matter and compostions few people see.
Check out more of his work on his flickr account and his website. And give him a call if you’re in New York and need a super assistant.
A Face With The Name: Adam Voorhes
Gracing this week’s edition of A Face With A Name is my good friend (and friend of PUBLIC SCHOOL) Adam Voorhes. Seated in his lap is his trusty bulldog Catfish. Voorhes and I met while I was an intern at The Butler Bros. He had just moved to Austin and had come by to show his work to Adam and Marty Butler. In the years since then he has been a great mentor in my career as well as a great friend.
Adam is best known for his product and still life work, though he is a great photographer overall. His work has been featured in every place imaginable. His client list includes BMW, M&M’s, AT&T and a slew of other companies you know and love. He’s even managed to snag a few nice awards for himself as well. He also happens to be a mighty fine cook as has been proven in many a Iron Chef competition that we have had amongst our friends in the past. My personal favorite is the rosemary chicken he whipped together once.
All in all, Adam is a hard working and fun loving guy. I’d recommend working with him even if only to stop by his studio and challenge him at his Soul Calibur arcade machine. Soul Calibur challenges aside, over the years he has helped me immensely as well as continually impressed me with his work. You’ll be seeing much more of him (and his work) in the future.
Next week we’ve got Bryony Gomez-Palacio and Armin Vit of UnderConsideration. Stay tuned.
Drew Struzan
As a child we used to rent VHS tapes from Video Hut around the corner from my house. It was the type of place that used to keep all the tapes behind the counters, so you’d just browse the empty boxes on the shelves. I was constantly sucked in by the highly detailed covers of the Back to the Future. It is easily the series of movies I rented the most as a child. Apparently the man behind those elaborate covers also did the covers of Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and E.T. to name a few other movies you might know. His name is Drew Struzan and you know his work because the only way to have not seen it is to have skipped the movie theaters for the last 30 years.
Via Recuperate
Sandro Miller
I remember seeing a book of Sandro Miller’s photographs when I was in my early years of photo school, and I remember being awe-struck as they were nothing like I had ever seen before. They were a big influence on my work at the time. I checked out his site today for the first time in a couple of years, remembering how much I enjoyed his photographs of boxers.
I really enjoy how diverse his work is, all of it extremely solid.
Sandro Miller is based out of Chicago, with his website available here.
Audio Document 5
This week we’re rolling out another Audio Document including a little bit of Beach House, White Denim and my personal favorite Waylon Jennings. After nearly a week of no internet here at the studio due to some sort of technical difficulties there’s no greater feeling than uploading some big ole’ file at lightning speeds. Big ups to Shaun for getting this Audio Document all organized.

Borja Bonaque
Sometimes you see a photograph of a city and it makes you want to visit. Sometime I see an illustration and it makes me wish I could live in that world. The work of Borja Bonaque makes me feel that way. His simple cityscapes are interesting and have been in the New Yorker as well as Wallpaper.

Jeremy Geddes
You can normally find me firmly in a pro-NASA stance. I grew up in the southeastern suburbs of Houston where NASA’s Johnson Space Center is situated so space travel and being an astronaut was all of our aspirations until midway through high school when cynicism struck the idea dead. That being said, I may want to be a cosmonaut now. Jeremy Geddes’ painting sure do make being one look fun and lofty.
