These are images from a recent trip to Nicaragua. Esteli is located in the northeast of Nicaragua, and is producing some of the finest tobacco in the world. This is a project I've wanted to do for a long time and I was thrilled to work with everyone at Plasencia Cigars. The particular cigars these guys are smoking are their new organic line, and like everything else they make, these are 100% by hand. It was refreshing to step out of our high speed, technology driven world for a minute. I got a first hand look at the entire operation, the tobacco smelled and tasted amazing.

Promotional images for a new theater production company whose debut production, Woody Guthrie Dreams has just been approved by the Woody Guthrie family and is slated for a four week run this September in New York City.

I photographed Comedy Central's roast of Donald Trump. This picture was shot during the rehearsal, I photographed The Donald for about 15 minutes, he looked at me for exactly one frame.

This is the second time I had the privilege of being in the studio with Anais Mitchell . The new album sounds amazing.

These were shot this past winter as possible covers for Marcus' new album.
