Laugh

My dad smiling in 1944

..and laughing it up earlier today in his wood shop.

Portfolio

Just got a 13"x19" portfolio. I've never made much of an effort building or showing a book but I'm gonna try harder with this one.


I've been messing around with these 1/6 scale prints today trying to figure what goes where. This above photo is probably no where near what the final is gonna look like.

Classics

Classic cars are everywhere out west. This one was lit up by a passing car's headlights.

Not that into the above photo but these palms are my favorite..

Shooting in LA

Some random photos of Jason while he was working in LA last week.

Took this quick snap in an alleyway that had nice light down in Chinatown.

Spaced out detail

Here he is brushing his teeth in the Rite Aid parking lot on Sunset.

..and that's about it. Gonna try and take some new photos this coming week but NYC is a bum out and I'm pretty burnt on Jersey..

Raincoat

..on a dog...in a city that gets 5 rain days a year.

Los Angeles.

Spacing

Jason outside a bagel place before a job the other night.

Brooklyn

Univeral City and Downtown

View of Universal City from Mulholland Drive on a foggy night..


..and a view of Downtown on the other side earlier that same day.

Variety

The Variety building on Wilshire Blvd. after sundown.

Kind of a crappy jpeg..

Hoodie

Model warming up between pictures.

The red sweatshirt she was wearing looked good in the overcast light.

California last week

Sweet colors

Red paintings at LACMA


Stack of blue school chairs

P.O.V

Luis' hands from the models point of view.

Crappy weather

Just got back from LA...I was supposed to stay longer but its gonna rain every day so fuck that.

Here's a picture of my shadow, some birds, a girl jumping, and Jason's shadow as he's taking her picture.


Didn't shoot so much but still got a few good photos that I'll put up next week in a couple of "LA" posts.

Parts and Labor

I'm leaving for LA tomorrow morning to work a few jobs for Jason. There won't be any posts for at least 10 days.  I've canceled my flight home and am not bringing a computer.  Need a warm weather/visual recharge.

A couple of closeups from the other day.

Models

2009 is starting off a little slow on this site. That pace of 2008 is hard to match during these shitty New York winter months. Hopefully I'll slay it out west and post up some good stuff when I get back.

Waist deep

Cool photo of Luis waist deep in Mono Lake.

I think this was in October 2000.

Broken nose

Found this pretty awesome photo while sorting through some old shit. I got sucker punched by a bouncer the night before this was taken.

One of the reasons me and my big 'ol mouth don't drink any more..

April '04

Emily

Emily assisted Luis a few days ago in Brooklyn. I took some pictures of her sitting in while I set up the lights.
