Burn

A smoke bomb backfired in my had the other day while working.. This was taken about four hours after it happened. I'm left handed and have to retouch everyday this week...fun times.

The small blister on my thumb (below), has since joined forces with the bigger one on my hand, and the whole thing tripled in size.


That hand already has a bunch of scars/broken fingers... more are no doubt on the way once I'm done picking at this mess.

That banding in the top jpeg is bumming me out..no trace of it in the big file though. Blogger's conversion doesn't handle dark subtle gradations very well...not that anybody really gives a shit.

Blurry laugh

Dad laughing in a field a few weeks ago.


Luis got rid of his big flatbed scanner so I had to scan these negs. Forgot how much of a pain in the ass that was..

River

Paris is on another level.

Family

Got to spend some quality time with my Grandma on this last trip to England. She's hilarious.


Speaking of hilarity...here's another photo of my little bonehead cousin.


Pretty tight timing that day..Detail

New website finished

After two years of neglect that old shite website of mine is history... Stoked on the new one.


The edits aren't final yet but thanks to Steve I can update super easy.

The thumbnail pages as they are right now.










Along with the CMS that Steve built he made a little button in the bottom right corner that fades the screen from white to black.


I debated whether to have a black website or a white website for about a week.. Now I have both!

!!!!

This is what happened to Luis' laptop when a van drove over it...


The wheel somehow missed the hard drive and all was recovered!

Hair

Girl standing in front of a light.

Twins

Models waiting around before one of Luis' jobs last week.


Two frames taken one second apart... unprompted twin-ness.

Crash!

Dad and I went to a race day two weeks ago in England.


He fouled up the hairpin corner at the 11 second mark in this video..



Brands Hatch (race track south east of London) is fun cause they let you walk all over the place.. wouldn't happen in America cause of the safety.

Shirley

These are from a few nights ago..


I spotted Shirley while walking through the Tuileries garden in Paris.


Nearly 80 years old!

Max again

Hung out with my little cousins in London two weeks ago. Here's Max climbing around.


Took a bunch of good photos on this trip but they're mostly on negative...might be a while posting those. I'll hopefully put up the digi ones within the week.

Jono

Photos from a visit to San Diego and Mexico around New Years Eve 2001.

We got hassled pretty bad coming back into California. Border guards separated us in a small room and tore Jono's car apart. Sketchy.

Blowing off steam..


The airport in San Diego has a cool parking garage where you can watch the planes land.


I'm outta here tomorrow...working for Luis..back in July.

Diving Board

Some diving boards in Ireland

Detail

Luis and Dad

Good times at the OTB last weekend.


A gloomy picture from a print test a few weeks back.


Found this semi-retarded flash test photo.  Taken during a gnarly wind storm last November in Brazil. I remember yelling out f stops and Luis still couldn't hear me.


Yeesh..no pics for a while. Spending the rest of the week on my website and then have to go to England and France for two weeks.

June is gonna be a slow one on this blog. I'll slay July though..gonna have lots of new stuff!

New Website

Been working on getting my images resized and recolored for the new website Steve is gonna build. If all goes well this old thing should have a replacement by mid July.

Found these two images from the road trip with my Dad two summers ago.. A family at the Grand Canyon. One of our least favorite stops on the trip...too touristy.


The temperature was 111 degrees when we passed these trees outside of Phoenix.

Some more outtakes..




Gonna try and shoot some photos this weekend.

Polaroid

Just scanned this today..Luis and I took polaroids of each other posing with Keith Richards. This was a bunch of years ago in Paris.


Hasselblad polaroids are really crappy.


Been a little slow this month on the 'ol blog. I've been working on another project and lining up some good photo trips for late summer...

Moody

A couple of landscapes from two weeks ago. This is the epic view of Manhattan from the cliffs of Boulevard East.


A couple of outtakes from a rainy shoot in Jersey. Using film for the first time in a year took some quick getting used too.


If it wasn't so expensive and inconvenient I would still be doing everything this way.

Pouring

Duvateen

A big black Duvateen blanket made taking these two photos easy.

The DP, producer, director, and two art directors viewing a monitor.


Hairspray touch ups..

Belt Glasses

Some photos from 6 weeks ago in London.

Shot two frames in two seconds of the photo on the right...this is the better one. This was all during a tv commercial/billboard shoot and things were moving along pretty quick.

Detail.


I'll try and finish 'em up this week.

Shot film

Been busy this week shooting, contacting, and test printing these 74 rolls of 220 film.


Don't know when I can post this stuff up.. did 7 quick prints a few days ago that I'm pretty stoked on.

Derby

Went back for my Ma's birthday yesterday. Took photos of her watching the Kentucky Derby but didn't get anything better than last year. In the meantime..

Here's my Dad in the garage.


It was super nice outside...Nick with seltzer.

Patio

Pretty awesome James Bond-esque complex on the top of some mountain. We all took a cable car up and it was fun.
