This series is still one of my favorites. The books were great, the art director, Beth Clark, is incredibly talented and funny and sweet, the author, Daniel Waters, is the best, the concepts were smart and allowed me to revel in my old punk rock and goth days again.

Dan talks about the covers on his blog where he also was kind enough to ask me some questions about myself. Stay tuned here for an interview with him soon.

Also, below is a picture of a 16 year old Ali from the punk rock days that helped inspire the styling of these covers for me… along with Siouxsie Sioux and Exene Cervenka‘s looks.

This recent book cover I shot seems to be getting a lot of great press all over the web. Like here and here and here. Hooray for Lizzy Bromley, art director extraordinaire, for her creativity and great ideas.

I recently met an amazing woman named Jessica Shyba. It just so happens, she writes a very successful blog that chronicles her relocation from the suburbs to NYC with her husband and two beautiful kids. Suburban to urban mom is a move I’ve been hearing more and more about lately.

Jessica is one of the moms I’ll be talking to and photographing for my Momma Love book project. She honored me with a very cool mention about the Momma work, and about my work photographing mothers in prison, on her blog this month! You can read her piece about it here.
