Age: 25. Hometown: Takoma Park, Maryland. It’s a lot of hippies-turned-lawyers—a pretty perfect place to grow up. Currently resides: Silver Lake, Los Angeles. Out here, you really have to go out of your way to make somebody yell at you. It’s hard to be in a bad mood when it’s 70 degrees and sunny every day. Occupation: Photographer. Ultimately I’d like to shoot a mix of fashion advertising and architecture. I don’t wanna sell diapers. Reason for moving to Los Angeles: I went to Occidental College, but all I cared about was taking pictures. I really didn’t want to write 30-page papers. So I went to New Zealand for a semester-went skiing and hiking and drank a lot of beer-and then came back to L.A. to go to the Arts Center. Biggest Vice: Cheap beer. Dream Date: If I say anything, I’m going to get beaten. What’s the girl—I don’t even know her name . . . She’s in Wristcutters [Shannyn Sossamon]. Favorite Fictional Character: Omar Little from The Wire. He’s like Robin Hood, but gay and black and lives in Baltimore. Favorite Nonfictional Character: Bob Dylan. Would most like to photograph: David Bowie with Iman
