Yesterday, after the shoot, the cast wanted their pictures taken. The lighting was so gorgeous and they just kept posing, that I had to keep shooting. Enjoy!

Portland native Shaun Sundholm is a media designer and photographer. He loves tacos and type.

This project is the firstborn child conceived from a life-long love affair with photography and typography. The photo series was shot at an abandoned (and rumored to be haunted) ranch in central Oregon and the type was inspired by my early days as a screen-printer. These pieces complete the sentences that the pictures and the words could never quite say on their own.

My dear friend, Ophelia Chong, is celebrating her birthday today!

Happy birthday, Miss O!!

She’s got a lot of spunk, is bursting with creativity, and makes some truly breathtaking work. Ophelia’s work can been seen in Raygun, Interview, Bleach, Lava, Strand Releasing, Slamdance, LAIFF, Outfest, Workbook, CSS Artistry, Lemon Poppyseed, and 1,000 Artist Journal Pages. In her spare time (what spare time?), she writes for KCET and shares about her life in Los Angeles.

If you’re not familiar with her inspiring images, take a gander here.

The Man Who Played God is my favorite track off of Dark Night of the Soul—the Danger Mouse (Brian Burton), Sparklehorse (Mark Linkous), and David Lynch collaboration.

The idea of this song is that there’s a great artist who takes parts of the world into his own mind, changes it, and then puts it out into the world and  changes the world by doing this, by using his imagination. So that’s what this song is all about.
– Suzanne Vega

The album that  features contributions from the Shins’ James Mercer, the Strokes’ Julian Casablancas, the Flaming Lips and Iggy Pop. The entire album is streamed at NPR’s site.
