ThingsToLookAt is Back in NYC!
About Me
I don't think anyone reads this part... text always looses the battle against pictures. But just in case...
I'm Burke, a Photographer based out of Brooklyn. I also direct film and host burlesque shows in the city.
Check out www.thingstolookat.com to see more of my photography and motion work.

Some things people have said about my work:
"This is so exciting... Its a little risque... It's not... Um... Ah... This is not... Yeah... It's not Porn! It's definitely not porn."
--Bill Press, nationally syndicated talk show host.
"This is a great work of art, I must say. Its like something my father would hang in the garage when I was a kid."
--Bill Press, one week later.
"Guaranteed to get your heart rate going and your blood pressure up."
--Christy Harden Smith, LeftInTheWest.
"Professionally and sexily lensed..."
--Wells Dunbar, Austin Chronicle.
"The women he captures offer inticate and vibrant mosaics... The viewer is often left with a hungry curiosity, piecing together the plot of his prismatic, silent movie."
--Sez G, Eros Zine
"suavely directed by Burke Heffner."
--Matthew Murray, talkinbroadway.com

Answer to your question: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/538320 -
I can promise you it only gets better! How dare you compare TEXAS to California!! hahaha :P The streets are paved with gold here! -
Great letter. -
First set is now live!! Please check it out when you have time :) -
as if, i'm just waiting for you to get back so i can stealing your lighting and set designs. re: food/drink - hell yeah. holla' when you get back from ass-end, texas. -
Why hello there!!! Love alllll of your photos!!! Come to Cali!!!! -
New set with Lilex... must think of new incentives. -
Vote for my new set with OkiDokiOkami!
I've set aside 12 high res images from the shoot. Anyone who votes for this set 10 or more times gets access to these awesome unreleased images.
That's right ladies and gentlemen: 10 votes = 12 additional images! That's less effort then ordering someone a drink, and fifty times more likely to get you a glimpse of a beautiful naked girl!
If you've given Oki's set ten votes, message me so I can share the bonus images with you.
x,
b. -
Fabulous! -

My first time meeting her...outside of a bar. Very loud and proud lesbian. Quiet witty and funny. -
Sounds awesome! I'll be back in the end of August, let's keep in touch -
:Lovely new set:
I just left a girls house and I swear she had "The Master and Marguerita" on her coffee table and I immediately remembered reading that here. -
Just thought I'd stop in and say hi! I've had one new set published today and two more being published tonight! Check them out; you won't be sorry! -
