Colour me Katie

If you have a few minutes this weekend and want to be inspired then you should watch this. Katie Sokoler AKA Color Me Katie is a specialist at working with strangers. Inspired by a college project in which the then shy Katie was forced to photograph 100 strangers in 5 hours, she has since eschewed using models to stage shoots, preferring instead to promote human interaction through her work and capture the results of humans in their natural habitat when mixed with fantasy or fun. In both her recent projects, the Brooklyn Thought Bubble Project and the Shadow Project, Katie stages creative traps and lies in wait to capture special moments on camera. We follow her through her process and ask why she makes interaction her art.

No Need to Wear a Watch

I wouldn't normally post an empty home but this one I have to show. I saw this Brooklyn apartment for sale in The New York Times the other day and was blown away by the spectacular architecture. So if you have a spare $8.5 million this could be yours. Actually someone has just corrected me and it is a WHOPPING $25 million. When you move in can you contact me so we can photograph you in your space. I'm serious!
