  • Speculoos Ice Cream

    Holy moly, this EXISTS. Thank you, Trader Joe’s. (Trader Joe’s, Manhattan)

  • A real human bean

    You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. Anything happens in that five minutes and I’m yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you’re on your own. I don’t sit in while you’re running it down. I don’t carry a gun. I…

    Despite the blazing heat, I love biking in LA. Not only am I seeing neighborhoods I’ve never been to, but I’m also 10 minutes early for every appointment. (Town Pizza, Los Angeles, CA)

  • APOY at York College

    Thank you CUNY YorkCollege for hosting A PICTURE OF YOU & welcoming us with these fab posters!

  • Planners Pointing

    Look, I’m the first to admit that an urban planning degree isn’t for everyone. But if you aspire to point at maps with this kind of authority, you better get started now on those applications kid.

  • Macs & Cats

    I like Macs and I like cats and this is reflected in my workspace.

  • The Best View

      My life would have been very different had I grown up closer to the Hayden Planetarium. I was obsessed with space and astronomy as a kid but only got to visit the Planetarium’s predecessor a handful of times growing up. Then and now, this is a magical place. (Hayden Planetarium, American Museum of Natural…

    Don’t drown your sorrows in drink. Drown them in red & white sauce and be happier. (Halal Guys, East Village)

  • Hustle Cat

    Not everyone knows my street name, but hopefully this will help remind them. (Kam Man Food, Edison, NJ)

  • Full Throttle

    This one is for my fellow Activity Monitor nerds.

  • Welcome to Eugene

    It’s been a few months since my last post, so I’ve got a small backlog to work through. Here’s a shot from my visit to Eugene back in April. I was there to show A Picture of You at the DisOrient Film Festival. Despite being sick the entire time I was there, I had a…

  • Breakfast of Champions

    It’s so easy to say “eating Speculoos Cookie Butter straight from the jar for breakfast is bad”. But just try quitting.

  • Saucy Search

    Hey internet, where can I find this in NYC — or USA? I ran out and desperately need more. Thank you in advance!

  • Boombox Cat

  • Genius Bar Cat

    The very best thing about having my cat as my work computer desktop image? Visits to the Genius Bar. (Apple Store Grand Central, Manhattan)

    Everyone on Village 7 staff have been so welcoming to the @apoyfilm team & audience. So glad this is our home for another 5 days. (AMC Lowes Village 7 Theater, East Village)

  • Free Hugs with every ticket

    NYC has been so good to @apoyfilm: amazing reviews, raucous audiences. Come celebrate with us! Also, I am giving out free hugs all weekend long when you show your ticket stub.

  • Philosophical Coif

    I had an awesome side part for like 10 minutes yesterday. My stubborn hair will take down any product. (Hair Philosophy, Soho)

  • GEN

    Congrats to Wan on her lovely show GEN. She said she would make a show like this happen and she did, beautifully. (Robert Moss Theater, Manhattan)

  • Father’s Day (Part 2)

    Dad, Stepmom, Brother, Sister, Brother, Self. The family that lets their eldest and youngest sons chase down a bewildered neighborhood kid to take this photo, stays together. (Belleville, NJ)

  • HBD Jack 2014

    Happy Birthday to my dear brother Jack, one of the few people in the world who can always make me laugh. Especially because he still wears jackets like these. (Nutley, NJ)

  • Throgs Neck

    Getting ready to climb the bridge. On the bridge. (Not shown: the adorable Peregrine Falcon chicks I was shooting.) (Throgs Neck Bridge, The Bronx)

  • Hugged Out

    It’s not harmful to cram 10 days worth of cat hugs into the 18 hours since I’ve been back, is it?

  • Mother’s Day 2014

    I love this photo of my Mom making a funny face during our last family trip together in Taipei, 2004. I learned from her that no matter how hard life gets, there’s always room for laughter and joy. Thank you, Mom. #MothersDay
