this was FUCKING FUN!!!
roxy contin (she's hot) did some DJ'ing some music stuff and i saw Geisha (she's hot) and maxumi max and tank girl nikki wild (luv her) and angelique and randy from LAM and i met a bunch of kick ass painters and grip load of sexy weird crazy mother fuckers. I didnt have a costume so i went in tighty whitey underwear and white sneakers..people kept smacking my ass and taking pictures of me...i dont like having my picture taken walking around in my underwear..i got drunk and had a great time

this is jamie lee. she is amazing!

today i shot a teen singer named jazzy... but i signed another non diclosure

photo tip: when someone has a "round" face..they should look to side and down. like turn thier face to the left and down.

down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left..down and to the left.. 

 

at least i think it is paint, maybe it is something like pencils or crayons?? i am not sure..he did a bunch o cool gg model pieces

i have been on the computer all day.    a small business owner works 40 hour weekends i am deleting old shoots from my hardrive but thought i would post some stuff before its gone..whatrs the point in shooting it if no one ever sees it?

this week i have been working for a company called science and fiction outta santa monica.  we shot at downey studios in downey, ca.  this is their backlot.  it is small and low budget but serves the purpose.  the houses on the street are called "FACADES"  i think that is french for "fake"  there are no real houses, but just fake house fronts.    the front is green grass and white picket fences but the back is dirt and tumblweeds.  in hollywood there is a lot of stuff that is fake.

last week i shot a gorgeous girl named charity.  she is smoking hot with a banging body and a beautiful face.  she was fricken hoooooooot!

charity has AMAZING BOOBS..and they are NOT FAKE.

today the writers guild of america went on strike....if you work in the hollywood industry, then today is the beggining of "tough times"...  when the screen actors guild went on strike 6 or 8 years ago i was basically unemployed for eight months, so today  i am apprehensive about my immediate financial future..fuckimg writers....

today there was a prop shot for picture framing where the woman looks to the photo remembering better times, and she comes out of the wardrobe fitting wearing a cheeleader outfit.  I could hear the words in my head before they left my lips but i couldnt stopp and blurted out  "that's hot".  it is really easy for me to say the most inappropriate thing at any time without notice.  that whole office must think i am a troll.

tomorrow is my first gg shoot in 6 months and i am nervous because i have completely forgotten what to do..

i am soo over this gig.  I am sick of shtoupe and his antics..i am bored of GMT stages and the isolation...if i never have to wake up at 4 am again that would be dope.   today i start a gig for sear and robeks.....this guy looked like a wax museum statue from smoky and the bandit??????  i swear he was a real live boy...that talked and everything..he was really nice and very funny.

megan dietz called me looking for her dvds. calli girls emailed wanting ther edits..jaqui called looking for her promo pics... angelique called wondering why she hasnt gotten her dvds yet and then natalie messaged AGAIN b/c i havent sent her the shots yet..grace called for her shots b/c i never even replied to her emails...i am just so fucking busy..that i cant seem to find the time..i have turned into "one of those photographers" who is dodgy..i feel super shitty and guilty...i am reconsidering hiring another full time assistant/editor....i think i shall call him/her "mini me"

this is neil..he cooks food for me everyday..he makes you ANYTHING that you want for breakfast.  the person with the hat is a stranger i drove by in my car today.

vivica fox is soooo sassy that she stuffed schtoupe into a garbage can just for fun?..the set design today reminded me of baz lurhman and the moulin rouge...and maybe a little bit like "sesame street"..

this jewlery is called "creative brazil"...gold is heavy.

ice t has a band called body count but i think now is an actor on law and order..his wife COCO is fucking HOT...she wore the tightest dress and i kept getting caught starring at her...but i dont think ice t minded the staring..i think.

george castanza's mom's real name is estelle and she is fucking funny for an old lady...

i want to get a pet leopard.. i think it will make me more "pimp"

this is what is left of the malibu castle

the smoke surrounding los angeles is so high and thick that it blocks out the entire sky..it's really erie..it feels like armageddon is coming.

today i worked with chuck lidell from UFC... that dude is "a fighter"... he is one bad ass motherfucker for sure..but i bet i could take him.  he was cool.

i finally got a scan of this
