tomorrow, i am starting art directing a movie that dane is the production designer for.  i am really nervous because i am waaaaaay under qualified.  i have not worked in the art dept. in years, but just dont tell anyone...

friday i worked with the creative crew from the show 24.  they all seemed really nice.  the company owner asked me about shooting his company's coporate portraits.  n they are making programing for the new form of television called "the internet"  if i was working as a television executive i would be very worried about the impending threat that internet programing is going to have.  i have a meeting next week to talk about directing "web esodes"  bye bye tv (it was fun while it lasted)

 

i am editing for maxim en espanyol valentines day for a deadline tomorrow morning. but i am reeeeeeeeealy slow.  i am very tired...tomorrow is scicen and fiction again.. i work there in santa monica so often that i feel like i should move west side.  it is a two hour drive frmo my house at rush hour.

 

here is a weird shot of drew.

here is a funny shot of chris..it was perish throwing soda at chris' face...no photoshop

 

in the morning against a crew of grunts and cast of eye rolls, you are the most difficult model i have ever met.

but by the end of the afternoon you  kiss me on the cheek and thank me for a wonderful shoot.

i shot at the castle veronica today:  it was really dark

random:
i got a phone call today that makes me "living proof" that not only will i not "never work in this town again" but you will pretend like you never said that to my face and even pay me more money...

lori hired me again for tomorrow but i can't figure what the angle is????  they should just give me the money and let me stay home.

do not ever shoot with a company called vibrant studios in florida and new york..the dude's name is ron and he owes me money for shooting....i know he sold the comp cards but for some reason he is still telling me the "check is in the mail"...idiot "the check is in the mail" is MY line...duh

today was weeeeeeird and random. i was working on mary j blige video, we shot one scene at teh 24 hr finess on sunset and ivar near the arc light theatres...it is a popular hollywood gym..i saw EVERYONE in the world that i know.

today kevin, the company owner called me into his office and aked me to bring in my portfolio this week..so here i sm in my room printing and rearranging a portfolio to show..

it is 11x14...60 pages...every print that i have is like 4 years old or a naked person..so i am printing new crap tonight...i already know that i will choose all the wrong shots..i never get work from a paper porfolio...that guy keeps calling em the "creative one" so i am gonna make it MORE artsy than commercial..

chris is back in town and i am gonna shioot with him this weekend.. i think him and natalie and brandy? dont get along so i hope i dont get dragged into soemthing silly..i think jackie is actually gonna pose for me witha turkey on her head... just like monica frmo friends..except naked.

i think this was a tv show, but now it is my life:  1 24 year stripper with a super somking ass body, but sort of ditzy or a 37 year old teacher witha prettty hot body( for a 37 year old), except she is really smart (almost as smart as me) and she is funny a quick and witty and nice and fun to talk to????  or the "hot" chick.

paris hiltion got pinched by the fuzz this afternoon on la brea and like bevery ish in the lgiht blue convertable..finally something good happens and every pictures is blurry...wtf

i have to wake up for work in 6 hours..goodnight sluts.

 

 

i think it is one fo those german type magazbine???  i stole this off their myspace page

this was a poster randy gave me

this is natalie

I just got out of work at five am. I am sleeping on someones sofa trying to unwind and get some sleep before I have to wake up in three hours... But I am really excited.. Tonight I shot an r n b singer named usher. It was a night shoot at paramount studios New York street backlot. He is amazing.. What a performer.. No wonder he is so famous.. He is awesome. Award winning smile.. Amazing moves... Perfect gentleman.. Usher is the shit.. The shots I took tonight are some if my best work ever, except I signed a non disclosure so I can never show anyone... I miss shooting pictures that I can post on the Internet. The last like ten jobs. I don't even look at them because it will only make me sad when I can't show anyone.. I am very proud of the work I create so not sharing it makes it just about the money.. Tonight I made the most ever for one shot in my life.. But I don't even care about money.. So what the hell am u doing it for.

The movie caterer fed me lobster friters and tri tip stake..

It was rain fx so my feet r soaking wet and all pruned up but i didnt notice till i pulled off my shoes...I am delerioys tired and rambling.. Good night fuckers.

whenever i type something really long and then press teh send button the server cant be found and then when i go back the whole thing is gone..sometimes i try to retype it but mostly i just give up..

here's some old stuff

heres a three foot pizza we had for working meal..trust me "bigger is NOT better"  it tasted like my shoe

this week i am gonna shoot  a woman from the amazing race and then later another woman from the hills.  reality stars are replacing models and models shooting themselves are replacing photographers..maybe i can just tell maryana to  shoot herself diy style. click click click
