Mississippi Grammy's and Whit bday!

Started out today with taking my best worker out to Chuckee Cheese for her bday! Jesus that place just isn't the same. But still have skee ball and shoot the hoops and greasy pizza. What ever happened to ball pits and scary dark rooms with anamatronics? hmmm? Then I got Peyton and Whitney together and we were off to shoot the Mississippi Grammies which neither of us new what that was. I shot a party at the governors mansion, Brandy the singer was there along with a whole slew of Mississippi greats and whatnots. There is an exchange program with Sweden where these amazing girls come sing here and we send Blues musicians over there. Amazing. I love swedish people. The night was random and hung out with the Swedes and broke my back. yes literally broke my back. I am not Peter pan anymore. More explanation later

The wall sleeps

nice riblets made up by Mathew Herbert! This thing is still slowly edging along.

Memorial Day!

What screams memorial day like getting up with a hangover and shooting pictures of a cute kid, then getting a bucket of KFC with some bud light, then slapping some ribs, throwing the Frisbee at the 121, more kids, a photoshoot at the bar for the rollergirls, and then Karaoke. Damn, that is a hella Memorial!

Random fun and yes Karoake!

Spent the day working some and then getting crazy. This drinking California is still in me for some reason. We went to Ed Inmans to watch movie projected in backyard. Neil Young's "Rust Never Sleeps" Love Neil but not so on this one. Then we went to this crazy gay bar I have never been to with a buffet right around the corner from the house, CJ's i do believe. Sweetness. And then over to Last call where I had to wear Arthur's shirt to get in, the place thought my wife beater wasn't classy enough. HA.Classy Jackson. Ashley was in town and Taylor of all peeps with new girl. Hung out with Annie, Cherie, and Whitney for a sec. She is the bestest worker slash driver ever!

80's dance party

Surprise 80's party and then hitting Martin's for some extra fun! Think the day was spent working on the wall. yes yes

121 Milsaps jazz

Night of jazz with drummer Simon Lott. Misssissippi Improv Alliance at 121! The new studio!

Back in South Back to the Wall

Good to be back and doing nothing fast, well, not as fast. The wall is making slow progress. Suppose to be near finished upon return but it is still little framework. Check it. 

Business in LA=RANDOM

This day has to be one of the funniest, weirdest days in my life. I got up and  went with Alfred to work and quickly printed out all of my packet information for the Bunnyranch. Then drove his car crosstown to a Los Angeles social club and shot Flava flave, bret michaels and other reality stars for the agency. By no means was I the main photographer, they were doing a shoot for USA today, but, I did score some really great candids and these guys never break character! They are really this crazy. So then of course Flava took forever so I ended up back at agency late to meeting with Dennis which I thought was a disaster but apparently he liked me. I then had to run downstairs call a cab frantically and get to the airport so as not to miss my flight. All of this happened within a few hours and it was the most ridiculous ride yet! Made the plane and back in the South by midnight! What a business day! whoop. Gotta love LA

if you are leaving San Fran!

After all the dancing it was time to pack and hit the road back to LA. By all means I had to get back and meet Dennis with the Bunnyranch and shoot Flava Flave and crew. It was time! We checked out some crazy tags before hitting airport and then up up and away! till next time. love that San Francisco treat!

SCOOT SCOOT San Fran!

We got at it late but man was it fun for scooters! We accidently got on the freeway at one point going 45mph and almost died! Went to the Palaces, around the beaches, into the parks, and back to the wharf! Good times and scoot scoots! Last night in town so we went dancing at some cool bar playing rock music from the 60's, or something to that accord. The beers were big and cheap and I like that! and dancing!

Haptallica!

and beautiful tags all over the city! whooooooooeee


Least i not forget the night! We packed up a lovely day in the japanese gardens and Bay Park area only to be treated to a couple of lovely Harp players playing Metallica songs! Enter HARPtallica! WoW. what wonderous nights. Made photos in the booth at the bar with new friends but lost them on a wine and cheese binge. Damn good cheese in San Fran!

California Color!

Took a cruise down the 1/101 today with Erin, Sarah, and Chris! Look at all the majic!

California Laxin!

Friday we drank, Saturday we stayed at Mac's house because he graduated Culinary school and had a huge cookout! Lots of fun and crunk! 

Dog Wrestlers, Bonnie Rollin, and Stamos walks!

Got up early this morning and accompanied Alfred to at WCW shoot involving girls, dogs, and wrestling! go figure. Then scooted across town to meet up with Bonnie who works for Warner Bros. We then scooted all around the grounds seeing all the studios. John Stamos walked by pulling up his sleeves ready for work! ha. Then we strolled down to Rodeo dr. and got some 2 hamburgers happy hour. What a diculous day! ha

Urban Lights, LACMA day

Finally got off my ass and went to a museum. LACMA was different than the last time with a whole new Modern wing, just opened in February. Some pretty nice Jeff Koon's sculptures even though not to fond of the factory painting. Also Richard Serra sculptures and Damien Hurst Butterfly series was very intriguing. The best was definitely outside right on the street with Chris Burden's Urban Lights. I walked and waited for more than an hour for the sun to go down to see these beauties at night. There were over 25o lamps placed strategically in rows. I love shots like that, trees in a row, anything in a row. Makes for a great shot. A good damn day!

Chelsea Lately

Today was pretty amazing. First that I went to bed at 4am and Christina roused me and was off to shoot and hang out on the Chelsea Lately show. I knew nothing about shows but it was kinda amazing. Got to hang with everyone behind the scenes and be front row. Chelsea was super cool. After show she let me brush her teeth. Had a brief fotoshoot with Chuy her lil' nugget and Kit's friend Ryan. Jesse Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) was on the show. ha
