Harvey
Harvey's from the Bronx but we saw him in Union Square. We like going to the Bronx. He's a lifeguard and a doorman and a personal trainer, which means he has a built-in fan base. His charm is hard to overstate, and his body needs very little work. Harvey, man, we wish you only the best.

Casey Spooner
We first met Casey Spooner at Adam Kimmel's studio in Chelsea. An ornate antique chair had just arrived from France, and Casey sat in it, still in the crate, as if it were a throne. He knows a photo op when he sees one. This time was at our studio, with a king-size wardrobe case that we ended up wheeling from his rehearsal space on Wooster Street, crossing Broadway with a hat box balanced precariously. He and John Tan tried many, many combinations before settling on a trench coat made from US Postal Service envelopes; a hi-tech mesh bodysuit sent to him by Calvin Klein; a pair of Japanese wooden clogs complicated by a huge rubber band he wore around his neck, for posture training. He did his own hair.

Mirabelle Marden
If Mirabelle Marden isn't the coolest girl I've ever met, then maybe I don't know who is. Like cool to the core. And sexy in a way that photos just don't do justice. Well, not the photos we took anyway, when she came over for a portrait one spring afternoon, along with Benjamin Sturgill (who is pretty damn cool himself), for the latest issue of HE. A little bit Patti Smith, a little bit Girl From Ipanema, she's the type of woman that launches ships and breaks up bands. I think it's the overbite.

BS Shirts
Been meaning to get this one up for a while. Seeing Hardy on 14th Street yesterday reminded me the day we hit the streets with a couple of cute kids from Vision (Hardy McCall was a fresh face; seems like he's at Fusion now), and Chris from BS Shirts, who we met at his table on Broadway. Looks like they're moving up in the world, with a real store in Philadelphia. No surprises there. Talent + ambition = success. No BS. Linkage: BS Shirts website V Magazine / Hustle and Go

Real Politique
It's been a long-ass time since we've stopped to do any blogging. Months and months. How do people keep this up every day?!

2008 is outta the gate!
2007 was a banner year for EXU. We wanted to do a year in photos but we had so many amazing shoots with so many amazing people we get dizzy just looking at them, let alone making some kind of coherent order from them. Maybe our resolution should be to update our website...
I'm sure we'd just put everyone to sleep if we thanked you all by name, but you know who you are, we know who we are, and here's to a happy, eye-catching, and unforgettable 2008.
