FROM THE BRAIN OF LANE SPODEK

Lane is an awesome person. He’s studying fashion at the school of the art institute in chicago. We made this short featuring his clothing. Its fucking insane. I love it. The inspiration comes from a Los Angeles news piece warning people to be weary of marijuana laced halloween candies.

When my friends William Beckett and Johnny Minardi called me up a month or so ago and told me that William was going to be putting out new music, I was really excited. They asked me if I could help out with some photography and make a short Documentary on William’s new journey. He and I have been friends since High School, we traveled the world together with his band The Aacademy Is… and have become kindred spirits over the years. He’s a really special person in my life. I am really happy with how this piece came out and am so excited to have been able to help out. This piece came together pretty easily. I think it some of my best work. Its so cool to work on projects I believe in and I think my feelings come through pretty effortlessly on this one. Please watch it in HD it looks waaay better that way!

Usually I stay away from looking at other photographers and videographers work on the internet, because I end up feeling like I suck and why even bother. However, I fucking love Clayton Hauck’s blog and think he is the best photographer in Chicago. Made By Man (the band I play guitar in) got the opportunity to play at Lincoln Hall with our longtime friends in Gemini Club for their sold out EP release show. It was a blast and Clayton was there taking pictures. I feel like I have my shit together and have a pretty deep knowledge of photography but I look at claytons work all the time and am like “how the fuck did he do that!!!!! that looks so Rad!” honored to have him take pictures of our funny little party band.

Here’s his blog:

Haberdash is a mens clothing company in chicago. Over past three weeks, I shot their spring lookbook. We teamed up with 10 of chicago’s coolest chefs and did portraits of them in their restaurants. It was an awesome job and an honor to work with the Haberdash team. Thanks to Michael Corrigan a million times for everything he did to make this all happen. Above is a behind the scenes video from the shoot. If you look close, when were shooting Richie at Moto, Im standing on the arms of a chair in just my socks.

here’s the link to the website for the lookbook, click on the pdf on the right to see the pictures!

Maggie and I are on the cover of DEMO magazine! I think the article is really well done and inspiring! We met a really nice guy at dinner last night who had read the article and said that he had moved to the burbs and had two kids and sells wine, and that he has a little painting studio in his basement, and that we inspired him to get back into his work. I almost cried. There’s no better gift in the world than to inspire someone. And to inspire someone to make art and express themselves is just fucking unbelievable! Were truly blessed.
