While on a recent visit to Chicago, I photographed Benita Slaughter, owner of the Slaughter Mortuary, on the south side of Chicago. (A wonderful edition to my ongoing series of photographs on the Death care Industry)
The family business has been in existence for some 50 years. Her father, Bernard Slaughter, founded the Mortuary in the 60’s and was photographed alongside Bill Clinton and Mayor Daily to name but a few. The photo below was shot in Benita’s father’s office.

I was recently in New York for some meetings and had some time to check out the Bill Brandt exhibit at MoMA.
It was a real treat!
Here are a couple of photographs from my ongoing project on the death care industry. JD and Cathee from the Museum of Death standing in front of a wall of newspaper they refer to as “Death in the Media : If it bleeds it leads.”
Stay tuned for the interview with JD and Cathee coming up on Halloween!
Another peek from my ongoing series on the death care industry. Check out my website for more shots from Hollywood Forever.
It’s amazing what you can find if you look closely enough. Some recent photos I took on my travels down the California coast.
For anyone who hasn’t seen this yet…
A recent motion / photo shoot I did with Andre Royo (Bubbles from the Wire). Shot at the Dresden in Los Angeles.
I recently attended the opening of the Perry Rubenstein gallery in Los Angeles and Neil was gracious enough to give me a few moments of his time.
It was a cool event, which also included Shepherd Fairey and his recent paintings inspired by Neil Young’s Americana.
