We adopted this sweet face & loveable soul from the Dallas pound on his final day 11 years ago.

New Zealand Sunday Star Times. June 2010

Last month I photographed Unknown Mortal Orchestra during their tour stop in Dallas for the Sunday Star Times in New Zealand. See PDFs above. UMO was just named NME's 50 best new bands of 2011.

I know I'll have How Can You Luv Me on my Super Summer Mix. Look out for UMO's debut album on June 21st. Stream here, if you can't wait.

Hot off the Press.

Hot off the Press! Check out my first fashion spread in F!D Luxe. I shot this during the Railroad Revival Tour at El Cosmico in Marfa, Texas late April, with the coolest team of creative women. I still haven't seen the real F!D. As much as I love all things internet, there is nothing better than holding the magazine and seeing it in print. P.S. Yes, Mumford & Sons was playing while we were shooting. It worked!

The show runs through June 18th.
