Model Test, Nabila

I shot Italian model Nabila and make up by Max at 5th and sunset LA on Saturday 09-12-09. It was on short notice and not much was planned out, but I feel I got some great beauty shots and I had fun shooting the dramatic backlighting.

LA Living

Life in LA has been fun and hard. It seemed like I didn't get out as much this year, but I did get to hang by the pool at The Compound all summer. I just didn't get out on the cruisers like the summer before. We would ride from Culver to Playa up past Venice, Santa Monica, and some times Malibu. Some of the other shots are of the great vintage I get to see roaming the streets or parked outside the studio I use to work for. The last shot is on Melrose were on any given weekend you could go get some overpriced vintage and see the choppers parked out side the cafes. Yes these are the days, Hot and how I like them.

Day 3 NY

NY City and the lost friends I love. I spent a week dividing my time between doing the tourist rout and living the night life with kids that make life feel like it's going to be alright. In the photo's Robert Malmberg of Collodion Studio's, and Dan Wonderly of a different dimension with his and our beloved Jen. Best week of my life. I came back so high on life, only to have it crushed by the the first day of work back in LA, reasons unmentioned. If you have not been to NY you must go at least once, just make sure to get a subway map.

Day 2 NY

A few shots from the Holga, while I was in UpState NY visiting Mr. Scott Belcastro and his girl Laura. I was lucky this day because he was able to take me to the best parts of Albany and Schenectady Ny. A true treat if you've ever been. A real Gem of a city where country meets urban living.... and Drug Abuse, but as you can see we made the best of it.
