There is more to my Garfunkel & Garfunkel - Father and Son cover

 

There is more to my  Garfunkel & Garfunkel - Father and Son cover !! I posted this cover before but only now did I get to see the double spreads inside the LP album and the accompanying booklet !! As I have said before, it was a great honor to shoot the cover for Art Garfunkel, one of the biggest name in music history, and his son Art Garfunkel Jr. for their wonderful father and son project. The album was released by BMG/Telamo on November 8th 2024.  More photos on my website.

A Coney Island Photo Dance with Makeda Thomas

New York/Trinidad choreographer and dancer Makeda Thomas turned our photo shoot from last summer in Coney Island into a photo dance video. It works really well, also thanks to the great music: Oya O by Raw Artistic Soul featuring Wunmi. The images are straight from the camera, untreated so to speak. More about the day with Makeda here

Tuesdae

Shooting a 'Lower East Side bar hopping story' with the lovely DJ/Singer/Playboy Model Tuesdae (www.tuesdae.com) for German Booklet Magazine was one of these memorable assignments that I could do 7 days a week. I met her and husband Brady Wills on their friend's roof top before we descended to places like the Lucky Chen and Arlene's Grocery, where Tuesdae took the stage with an amazing karaoke show accompanied by a live band.

Elvis

The German magazine HörZu sent me to Memphis a few weeks ago to shoot an editorial on Elvis impersonators at the Image of the King Contest. Along came the magazine's editor Martin Haeusler.
















Our main focus for the story was on Oliver 'The Echo of Elvis' Steinhoff (http://www.echo-of-elvis.com/), an excellent Elvis from Germany, shown here with two admirer-esses...who came in all ages and who easily outnumbered the contestants and there were many.
One of my favorites, Toki Toyokazu (below) from Japan, did not speak a word of English, but managed to announce on stage: 'I not speak English, I sing Elvis'.













































The 2006 World Champion is:
Franz Goovaerts 'Elvis Jr.' from Belgium !!!
