When I am fresh out of subjects, and it’s just my iPhone and me, well, it’s time for a little narcissism.

There are many facets to a person – particularly someone as multi-talented as Whitney. But how does a photographer capture, in one photo, the truest essence of a person, without imparting one’s own influence on the subject? A facial expression can change in a millisecond – completely altering the mood of the photo. And something about posed photos more often than not, look fake – particularly for the ‘industry standard’ head shot. Of course the lighting, environment and framing all have to jive too. Maybe this isn’t The One shot but I see a lot in this that says Whitney.

I know the streets of New York would destroy these shoes (and probably my feet) but, alas, these sinful heels ‘somehow’ found their way into my heart and onto my feet.

Congrats to Paul and Marcos for winning 3rd place in the Most Popular category for their Zia Dog – a hot dog on a buttered corn tortilla, topped with corn salsa, roasted pork, honey and highly prized new mexican chili flown in specially for the event from the Salazar Ranch in New Mexico.

Ernie’s paw.
