katherine villari – hotter than miami

sometimes i talk to myself while i’m shooting.  like, i’ll mumble stuff about my camera settings and whatever.  but not only is katherine an amazing model, she’s also handy with the camera and knew exactly what i was mumbling about, so i had to be on my toes not to mumble too much – or if i did, i had to make sure it wasn’t anything dumb.  she totally killed it – and then after our shoot, she broke out her cammy and made me model for her.  that was a first.  check out my debut below.  you can see more pictures of katherine, her photography and her writings on her website at iheartkat.com.

if gumby was a super-hot girl, he would probably be kimberly snyder

i get a little de-motivated sometimes when i see somebody effortlessly do something that i know is crazy hard – but when i look at kimberly snyder do yoga it’s the exact opposite.  i’ve seen kimberly do yoga a few times, and i know the poses she does are mad hard to do, but she makes them look so tranquil and smooth that it’s really inspiring and motivating.  like, it really makes me want to take time out of my day and do yoga.  most days, i get so busy and caught up in photography that my personal hygiene takes a hit, my fingernails get long and i forget to eat and blah blah… basically what i’m saying is that kimberly makes me want to find time that i don’t have and do something good for my skateboard-battered/horribly nourished body.  and speaking of nourishment, if you want to find out what kind of fuel she burns in her jet-fighter-like body, she shares her knowledge as a certified clinical nutritionalist in a health-and-beauty blog at kimberlysnyder.net.  somethin tells me that my daily dose of those extra dark “le petit ecolier” cookies (is anybody else addicted to these things like i am?) are scarce found on the pages.  but some tasty, less artery clogging options like cyan pepper immunity tea, kimberly’s raw pecan love pie, and banana soft serve with raw fudge sauce are all over that sucker.  plus there’s tips on how to keep your skin, nails, hair and pretty much your whole body healthy.  check it out.

samantha

you know when bugs bunny took a wrong turn at albuquerque and ended up in the south pole with the abominable snowman guy?  well samantha probably felt the same way.  she was brand new to the city and got lost right out of the subway.  it was pretty cold out – like 36 and raining.  it wasn’t CRAZY cold to me, but it was cold enough.  turns out that samantha is from a really warm part of australia and she had never felt weather that cold in her life (36 is 2.2 celsius, for all of you metric system people.  i wish america would get on that metric system business soon.  when i was a kid, my teachers would always tell us that we’d be using the metric system when i was an adult.  whatever happened to that jive?).  the  poor girl was freezing so we took her inside, wrapped my puffy jacket around her and sat her next to the heater.  i think she was basically freezing throughout the whole shoot, but she never complained and made freezing look pretty.

anna anna bo banna

you know how sometimes you’re like, “that girl is mega hot, but her boy’s a little duchey” almost like you’re disappointed – but in reality if her boy was as hot as her you’d be a little pissed that they’re both hot.  well anna’s boy is just as hot as her and it almost makes you throw up a little because you’re like, “come on, man – that junk ain’t fair.”  i got some shots of her boy on the choppin block.  they’ll be up soon…

chris cole is pretty much amazing at skateboarding

years and years ago, back when i was on fiveboro – we were doing a demo at a skatepark in philly and there was this guy there who was completely annihilating everything.  i was like, “yo, who is THAT?”  and somebody said, “that’s chris cole.”  i don’t think i’d ever seen anybody skate that consistently.  he was like a machine that was pre-programmed to get awesome.  that was probably 8 years ago?  i’ve ended up skating around him a few times since and it’s still the same story.  the dude’s dials go to 11.
