I always like it when I get to shoot visiting compatriots, even if they do always ask what’s wrong with my weird half-Essex-half-LA accent.

You can see more pictures on NME.com and see video interviews on Laura’s NME blog.

It’s Sugar’s anniversary party and I have prints on the walls.

They’re all pictures I’ve taken at Sugar over the past year and you’ll like ‘em.

3022 Sunset Blvd in Silver Lake, sevenish.

I love getting the Utata Front Page, because I like it when Greg writes about my pictures and says things like “passion is never abstract, though it’s often indecipherable.”

Lots of gorgeousness at the Shrine Auditorium… more to come.

(Full galleries on Prefix.)

I have a bunch of shots from the Lykke Li/Friendly Fires/Grand Ole Party/Mae Shi show at the El Rey on NME.com at the moment.

The gallery’s here…

…and some other shots are with Laura’s excellent write up and video interviews here.

Enjoy!

I always enjoy shooting Lykke Li. This one was a long day, but lots of fun and some nice pictures.

(For NME.)

She had Friendly Fires join her for a song:

NME’s annual cool list has Alice Glass from Crystal Castles at number one.

I’d wanted to shoot her for ages, and finally did last week for Prefix at the HARD Haunted Mansion crazed hallowe’en rave of doom at the Shrine Auditorium. Really difficult, really fun.

Outside, SoCal Hallowe’ens are actually warm enough that all the girls at the HARD Haunted Mansion rave costumed as Sexy Girl In Lingerie and Sexy Girl In A Bikini (and the one brave boy dressed as Sexy Michael Phelps, with little more than eight gold medals to keep him warm) almost looked like they were dressed appropriately.

Your intrepid Non-Sexy Eskimo Photographer sweated more than is ladylike. I always forget where I am and wear English levels of layers. (Photos will be on Prefix soon.)

(For sale, for now.)

I was in a yoga class once and the teacher started the lesson by reading from a book I can’t tell you the title of because I arrived late and was urgently braiding my hair in the ladies’ at the time. Anyway, it was about there being two paths through life — to accept that everything is incredible and beautiful, or to deny that anything exists at all. For now I want to take photographs that help me (and maybe other people, too) see that everything is incredible and beautiful, especially the commonplace scenes that are usually overlooked.

(I’d eventually like to take photographs that are a denial of the existence of anything, but that might prove more difficult.)
