German GQ Style
I have finally ended the Great Foto Famine. I just got my hands on this shot from German GQ Style. (Though I still don’t have the magazine!) It was shot on February 3rd and has been out since March. Sometimes... [Read Entry]Posted by William at 15:29 | Comments (2)

William vs. Milan Round 3 — KO
So I went back to Milan. You may recall a funny story from last time where my hair received all kinds of abuse. Verbal abuse. Remembering very well that the client liked everything about me but my hair, I decided... [Read Entry]Posted by William at 15:32 | Comments (4)

Gentleman’s Option
Here is an awesome photo from Gentelman’s Option magazine that I did back in February. I never saw the magazine on the stands, not even old issues and, despite my agency’s reassurance that they get copies of all the magazines... [Read Entry]Posted by William at 08:47 | Comments (3)

Clin-Stuy
Well, I thought I was living in the hard core Bedford-Stuyvesant or “Bed-Stuy” neighbourhood of Brooklyn. I thought that was cool. Apparently, however, I am just across the border in Clinton Hill, an historically yuppie, gentrified enclave of Brooklyn. Still,... [Read Entry]Posted by William at 00:46 | Comments (0)

Crows, Fishnets, Apples, and Big Apple
Despite colourful diction and stylish description, nothing compares with a picture, except perhaps a motion picture, unfortunately, neither of which I have. Therefore, permit me to bore you with a thousand words; tales of strange costumes and lascivious nights. Crows... [Read Entry]Posted by William at 12:37 | Comments (5)
