More.

I need to blog more.
Sleep more.
Eat more.

All I do is shoot, one after another, and I don't even get around posting anything here.

These are some sneaky peakies from a shoot I did with Masha P of LA Models a few weeks ago. She's a great girl to work with!

My sidekick Roshar did the makeup.... what would I do without you, RO????

Self Portrait with Adriel - East LA

I took this photo somewhere in East LA around sunrise while hanging out with Adriel last week.
I have lots of cool photos from those 3 days - shot with my 2 35mm point and shoot cameras (Yashica T4 and Leica Minilux).
Not sure when I'll show them or where, but it's an interesting documentation of gay lifestyle: porn, drugs, prostitution and the Abyss.
And inbetween me, snapping away.
The good part of being a photographer is, you can dive in for a few hours, be a part of it, and then walk away.
Not sure if they can, though.

Be Thankful For What You've Got

One of my fave music videos ever...
