LA scavenger hunt 2008 registration in Echo Park

.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Oh, kids. I’m having a good weekend. Fuck Yeah Fest is just the best thing ever. The best looking scavenger hunt on the planet is going on as I type. Check ‘em: LA SCAVENGER HUNT 2008.

bon iver and a.a. bondy at the troubadour

(Shot for Prefix.) For some reason I was a bit rubbish at getting good pictures this night. I keep telling myself that the memory card that died had all the good ones on, but I’m not sure that’s true. At least I shot on two cards like I know I’m supposed to but rarely do, [...]

Founders of F Yeah Fest and Videothing.com Allegedly Beaten by Security Guards After Radiohead Show

Kids, there’s a really easy way to not get videotaped beating people up, and that’s to just NOT BEAT PEOPLE UP. Bloody hell. Read all about it from the LA Weekly here: blogs.laweekly.com.

mirror, mirror, on the wall

My models are so nice, I shoot ‘em for you twice. Teresa Michelle Lee: Sophia Rubio: Sonya Garcia: And, one from night time. Laura Fereirro:

my favourite thing about the olympics

…Apart from the jacked teeth of the little girl who really sang, obviously. This is why Usain Bolt was Olympic hero. You don’t see anyone making up a dance for Michael Phelps, do you?

welcome to my dystopia

Miss this one. Ugh.

it’s tomorrow already and the AC just switched off and i’m inadvertently sucking up energy drinks and watching eddie murphy, but heeeeeeeere’s THERESA!

Every time I do a shoot, I get a new favourite model. That’s the way it should be, right? It’s been a long week, despite the fact that Babygirl and I no longer had Olympic swimming to watch until the early hours every morning. I’m accidentally drinking an energy drink at the moment, so thank [...]

the subways at the troubadour

I’m not sure I’d listen to them, but they’re a lot of fun to take pictures of and I’m always in favour of people jumping shirtless from balconies. Between the tattoos and the posing and the sequins and the bleach, they’re put on a photogenic show.

teresa and sonya and mojitos by the gallon

We had a busy weekend at Studio Eliza Fay Babygirl. I just ran around shooting, but Juanita took charge of lighting, catering and cocktails. That girl can muddle mint, let me tell you. Here’s a blonde preview of Teresa until I’m done editing. (Editing, in this case, includes yelping gleefully. I have gorgeous models.)

he doesn’t bark anymore, he just scowls

Oso hates having his picture taken. Actually, he hates cameras, full stop. He once tried to maul Kirsty because of her auto flash. I think he’s getting used to it, though, or maybe I just earned it. He gets a lot of massages.

juanita and rachel go sailing

Seriously, they have our hairdos and everything. We’re better looking though, I hope. It’s in the little cafe where you drink Red Bull before getting on the ferry to Catalina Island with your parents. The mural’s a bit disturbing first thing in the morning. There’s a weird couple snuggling, about to get headbutted by a [...]

jeanie leslie is my new favourite model

We did a great shoot after watching the Olympic opening ceremony for hours and hours and hours. We were a bit… cheerful by the time we started working. The Garcia Volume Control Squad ably assisted. In other news, I just needed to figure out the area of a circle for work. I take back all [...]

dr dog at the el rey

.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Drummer = great facial hair. (Shot for Prefix.)

airborne toxic event, el rey

People really, really love the Airborne Toxic Event. It was a fun crowd to be in. Nice kids. El Rey audiences always seem to be quite friendly, but this was one of the best. (Shot for Prefix.)

up north: port ludlow, etc

Seattle, Port Ludlow, Port Townsend, oh my. I’d forgotten how much I like the northwest. I like not having to wear sunglasses every day, and not being sweltering after thirty seconds outdoors. (I like kayaking and fishing trips and hiking in the woods and eating thimble berries and riding on golf carts and getting picked [...]
