Sometimes, when you interview someone, the questions just pour out because they have so much to talk about and you want to know it all. Joan Jett was one of those interviews.

Posted in Art, Design, Fashion, Monster Children, Photography by KW on 22/02/2010

The Waves

Posted in Nylon, Surfing by KW on 08/02/2010

Me on a tiny island in Fiji with Nixon’s pro-team. If I had been 19, this would have been a dream come true. As I was 27, it was a little less dreamy, more trippy. Also, Jenna Jameson was there.

UO Interviews: Karen O.

Posted in Fashion, Music, Urban Outfitters by KW on 29/01/2010

A lot of times, when you interview someone, you’re scheduled in for 15 minutes, and you’re one of 20 interviews they’ve done that day. I figured if I was sick of asking boring questions, Karen was sick of answering them. This was really fun.
