Just a quick note to say that we’ll no longer be actively updating this site. It’s been a great run. And thanks for stopping by.

For Michael’s current exploits please visit him here. Raafi maintains a blog of pictures and a personal site.

It only took us five months since shooting… but we got it done. Here’s the video for Thaddeus Clark’s Downtown/Connect. The (banging) song is available for download at hellabasic.com. Special shots to my editor Jay Morales who slogged through many weekends and evenings to help bring this to the light of day.

Every now and then, the scout is the best part of the shoot.

A lot of times I’ve done work that doesn’t fall under the scope of Desedoish-ness and don’t get around to posting it. Then am reminded awhile later why it might be nice to share. Here’s the result of a trip to Jamaica in ’09. This film has been used to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Rockhouse Foundation.

The Rockhouse Hotel, meanwhile, was featured in last week’s Times article on great getaways. What I’m saying is you should get down with these folks no matter what.

For the past few seasons I’ve shot video for Gary Graham’s fashion week presentations under the tutelage of Alex Antitch for Ace Collective. Antitch is Graham’s regular photographer and the creative director of his most recent shows. This time around the shoot was at Graham’s recently christened Tribeca space. There was the usual frenetic energy belowdecks and the calm focus of execution above.

During the first fifteen minutes of the show photographers jostle for position in front of the attendees. “Hey man, you’re in my shot.” It’s a scrum. After they decamp, there’s room for everyone to look.
