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..

..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..

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

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..

Emily


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