New York Times interview!

For the travel issue’s T, the artist and photographer Adam Wallacavage turned his trademark — tentacled chandeliers — into the magazine’s. “It was a little bit harder than I thought it would be,” Wallacavage says. “My style can be dark and gloomy looking at times, but I wanted this to feel light and elegant and somewhat simple. The simple part was the hardest.” Here Wallacavage, whose work is on display at the Philadelphia Art Alliance in the installation “Shiny Monsters” through Aug. 19, talks to T about octopuses and why he’d never dream of eating one. click here to read the interview

Ryan Dunn Rest in Peace

One of my favorite photos. Ryan Dunn at the Troc in Philly 2000? Bam called me from the show saying Dunn was going to jump off the 3rd floor balcony. I was in the suburbs. Somehow I managed to drive to the city, get a parking spot out front. Somehow get into the show with a photo pass (back in the day it was really hard to get in to shows without a pass) I ran up the stairs and pulled my camera out and stuck on the flash as Ryan got on to the railing and just pointed the camera in his direction as he jumped without having time to even look at the camera settings. Totally lucky. Ryan didn't actually jump from the 3rd floor but off the 2nd floor. I don't know how he did this to look like he is falling from higher. Bam did the same thing. Security was chasing him and they grabbed his jacket and he just jumped without even looking down. I need to find that shot. It was in his Big Brother magazine interview.
