wondabat saves the day...

not too much more to say about this...
1. Flux was on stage killing it...
2. the crowd was loving it...
3. Jeru was drunk...really drunk
4. he decided to get on stage in intimidating fashion
5. Flux was not intimidated
6. the crowd was rightfully annoyed

you should be here...

beautiful inside and out

recently i had the opportunity to meet this wonderfully spirited child with a very challenging set of circumstances...she(they) taught me a lot! she is 15 and has her eyes set on a career in modeling...if you are the one person that can somehow help that along...and you come across my blog, hit me up.

so

im on line looking at pictures from abl. i come across the collab piece that goldi and flux did. my daughters like..."mommy i like that"...then she sees me, standing beside them. we all have on lanyards for the show. she say's...."did everyone have to wear those?" im like..."just the artists". "but mommy your not an artist". ha! as if this is not enough, after i give her a very rough definition of an artist...which includes.."...creating something that people like to look at"...she says in disbelief "but people dont like to look at what you create..(pictures??)"


sheesh
big ups to the REAL artists!

polka dotted stripes/artist call for the new jaspects album

one vision
one model
two artists (catherine mcelvane and myself)

...this is some of what we created

it was all a dream

so...where do i began. at the end. saturday morning...a baldspot. "where did this come from?"..."(sighs)mom!" he said...no answer..1.did you cut it...2.did you shave it...3. did you use a razor? (there are no razors around...)..4. who cut it?....5.when did you cut it?...6. did zack (imaginary friend) cut it?...

anyways, you get the point
final answer...."it was just a dream mom"

day to day

there was light
and a washcloth
love
and inevitable tension

among others a few

i love creating with other artists. there is a sacred exchange that occurs.... it was quick and perfect. here are a few of the shots that we created.

BE HERE

the fight

can i tell you how much i am changing. and finding myself more. creating who i am to be. and becoming bolder. wanting to shoot sooo raw. exactly what i see if you like it or not.
i was on my way to a gig the other night to shoot(with elisha). and i happened upon this fight. the symbolism and irony....lately i feel like it's me against the world. i mean really. but i am remembering the last time i was here. and the world and life was soooo hard...AND WHAT CAME OUT OF THAT. that was two and a half years ago. and i am overwhelmed with the joy of what will come out of this space.....7.20.09

meanwhile at the last headshot party...

sometimes people wonder why i don't blog the shots from the parties i do...
usually my sole intention is to meet the clients needs...so i am shooting to give them a piece of my art..but also to give them what they want. my blog is a way for me to not work...but just create. it's a release...and usually for fun. but...well...here are a couple of pics from the last headshot party at pop life..
