Noah Says...

No Rest

2009-07-15T22:01:00.000-07:00

Been going non stop for the last two months: 2 trips to Afghanistan, a quick job in Bora Bora, NYC, and now home for the next week prepping for another solid 3 months of shoots. Look for a website update coming soon, but in the meantime enjoy this outtake from Afghanistan courtesy of Cairo Foster.

Next stop...

2009-05-13T18:08:00.001-07:00

Special thanks to Nikon, WESC, and Lowepro for their support.

No Room

2009-04-08T13:17:00.000-07:00

I shot this for Depth of Field, but ran out of room to run it.

Shane McConkey 1969-2009

2009-03-30T09:20:00.000-07:00

I first met Shane when I was in college, and would run into him from time to time when I was at TGR. His ability to make the impossible seem effortless, combined with a sense of humor that forced us all to take ourselves a little less seriously, made his presence a constant reminder of what it is all about...fun.

Rest In Peace.

Throw your hands in the air

This is how we do in my 'hood.

4Q

Max Schaaf of 4Q Conditioning. 100% original in every sense, and a hell of a nice guy.

Mr. and Mrs. Weiss

2009-02-10T08:14:00.000-08:00

My little sister got married last weekend, and although I got out of having to be the "official" photographer, I couldn't resist shooting a few (hundred).

Panama

2009-02-06T07:03:00.001-08:00

I flew down to Panama recently to do some catalog work and to take a quick break from everything. The skyline of Panama City changes every time I am down here, and is surpassed only by Miami in its ability to throw up skyscrapers in what seems like a few days.

Unofficial Favorite

2009-01-21T21:08:00.000-08:00

I was going through some negatives today and came across this pic from one of the Black Keys shows I shot last year. I was fortunate enough to work with those guys a handful of times, and as a result had the luxury of shooting them on multiple formats. Although I was never able to find an "official" use for it, I have always enjoyed this image.

FAINTing

2008-12-29T13:58:00.000-08:00

So I was on my way back to Los Angeles yesterday, and I reach into my bag to pull out my boarding pass, and find two CF cards wedged at the bottom of my bag. Once I got on the plane I took a look at them and found about 500 pics from a Faint show that I shot back in November, I had assumed were stolen along with the camera bag I used that night. To my surprise they were not... above is one of the outtakes.

Last Night

2008-12-14T19:30:00.000-08:00

I am unbelievably grateful to everyone for coming out to the show last night. The turnout far exceeded any and all expectations I had, and was truly an amazing way to end what has been an unbelievable year. Special thanks to 944 Magazine, Belvedere Vodka, Nikon, and all the boys at HR. The show runs until February 1st, so if you didn't make it last night, swing by Hot Rod and check it out (and pick up some Dunks while you're at it). See you next year!

Enjoy some pics from last night...

Filler

2008-12-08T12:20:00.000-08:00

I had some downtime during a shoot yesterday, and here is what I did to fill it.

Sign On The Line

2008-12-05T18:51:00.000-08:00

I took a break from printing yesterday and headed down to sign the decks I did with HR. I was blown away at how well they turned out. Special thanks to Genevieve Cortese for lending her beautiful face to the project. The decks will be available at the show next Saturday (see post below).

It's on.

2008-11-18T17:07:00.000-08:00

On Decemeber 13th, I will be opening my first solo Photography Show in Los Angeles and would love to see you there. In addition to my photos, the limited edition skateboard deck I designed for HR as part of their "Artist Series" will be available for the first time (see the post below), as well as show prints. A lot of time and effort has gone into making this thing happen, and it should be a great event. Special thanks to 944 Magazine, Belvedere Vodka, Nikon, and hrlife.com for helping to make this show possible.

Ok, back to printing...

When Worlds Collide...

2008-11-10T22:49:00.001-08:00

Recently I was asked by HR Life if I had any interest in doing a collaboration skateboard deck with them to help launch their new Artist Series (they are sponsoring artists instead of skaters) and naturally I jumped at the opportunity. Skateboarding has always been a huge part of my life, and was the creative outlet that first exposed me to photography, so it was really cool for me to have things come full circle like this. I was honored to be the first artist selected for what should be an amazing series of decks. My board is going to be produced in a signed/numbered limited edition, so once they're gone, that's it. They will be available at my solo show next month. More on that shortly...

OH-IO

2008-09-14T19:15:00.000-07:00

I don't usually shoot sports, but my Buckeyes came to town this weekend, so we ventured down to USC for the game. 35-3 wasn't exactly the score we were looking for, but there is always next year. Above is the view from our seats.

Lollapaloozed

2008-08-05T11:03:00.000-07:00

Just finished shooting Lollapalooza, by far and away the most organized and well run festival I have ever had the privilege of attending. Big thanks to everyone who made it happen. Images coming soon...

Summer in LA

Recruited

2008-06-25T00:04:00.000-07:00

Steve Berra invited me down to The Berrics to shoot some portraits. You will be able to see some of the images here shortly. Definitely not my worst day at work...

Homeward Bound

2008-06-08T15:41:00.000-07:00

I took a trip back to Ohio this week. I saw a lot of these...

Buff Monster

2008-05-04T18:50:00.000-07:00

I ran into Random last night, and it reminded me of this shot I took of his work on La Brea, which can be found in his forthcoming book.

Orphans

2008-04-16T21:45:00.001-07:00

Some photos are destined to reside on the refrigerator door...like this one (on mine).

Coming Attractions

2008-04-01T23:53:00.000-07:00

I shot The Black Keys recently. The pics will be up soon, but in the meantime, go buy their new album "Attack & Release", you'll be happy you did.

Enjoy The View

2008-03-18T21:09:00.000-07:00

I really don't shoot too many scenics, but when i do, this is what they look like...
