Rufus looked uncomfortable on the red carpet at Cipriani’s on 42nd St. for a benefit for The Paley Center for Media in New York until he started chatting with fans. He came alive and I was able to get this picture of him looking a little less stiff.

Feast of Fun slideshow
My good friends Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion taped the 1000th show of their wonderful gay comedy podcast the Feast of Fun (formerly the Feast of Fools). Check out the photo montage I put together of photos from the over 11-year history of their silly antics. Find out more at their website.
Youtube videos from the “Feast of Fun”
I’ve been shooting some videos and learning a bit about video editing while I was staying with my friends Fausto and Marc after moving back to Chicago from New York a few weeks ago. They produce a fabulous podcast called the “Feast of Fun” in Chicago. Their five-day-a-week show is hugely popular on iTunes and I’ve have the good fortune to be their unofficial “official photographer” for years now. Even when I was in Philadelphia and New York City, I had the chance to photograph them in Manhattan visiting the Sirius Satellite Radio studios and in Chelsea.
Here’s a sample of a recent guest and the corresponding short video snippet (shot with the Canon 5D Mark II):
There are more videos on my Youtube page from the podcast.
Bea Arthur in Chicago
“Maude” and “Golden Girl” star Bea Arthur has died. Here’s the news from the Times. Here are a few shots I got of her when she was in Chicago a while back.

Janet in Philadelphia
Janet Carter is one of the nicest women I got to photograph when I lived in Philadelphia. I hope you can see some of her positive energy that she shared with the camera when she came by the studio for a photo shoot.
