Well, I've been shooting for GodsGirls for awhile now.
They are really nice - and they pay well, and don't ask for submissions on spec. It's cool. I'm pretty happy I never signed the SG photographer non-compete contact.
The GodsGirls site is not as 'bling' as this one is - but thats ok, because they are not squeezing free content from their models/hopefuls, or suing their competition. The community there is pretty cool.
So, I guess thats it.
No one will probably notice this for awhile, but I'm guessing the zot is coming.

Come to my party. Email me for the address, yo.
I got offered work at the Junos that night, but apparently its not a big enough deal to cancel the party over. Sunday though, I will be photographing celebrities.

OMG
Can you imagine being trapped with Lavonne for a week???? It was sheer hell. A savage burn even.
She tried to claw my eyes out on several occasions. (Dear lord we had to share a bed, I feared for my life/anal intergrity!)
Vancouver would have been so nice, but she was such a bitch, it was hard to have fun.
GAD!

I met S Eldorado, what a hunk! Had fantastic sushi, and now I'm in love with Vancouver.
In other news, I need a swimming pool for a new art project. Any Calgarians know of one?
I'm applying for an art space today (Its pretty embarrassing working out of my living room at this point) and business is busy. Yay! I'm Director of Photography at a magazine (Krave) now. Woot!

Update!
I'm a full time flailer now. I shop with other peoples money, fuck around, oh, and did I mention pound the pooch? And I take some pictures sometimes too.
I've been getting some paid photo work (dis is gooood), and have my first commercial contract. Its a pretty cool mission actually. I'm pretty stoked to get started. I also have a pretty steady gig as a wedding 2nd shooter and assistant. I like people, so hopefully I can get along with evil brides and their families... build some skillz and make mad coin.
I have some attention from publications who will pay. Yay! Getting mad support from (who else) supporters. One of whom wants to bankroll my wishlist of gear and possibly lease me a space. OMG amazing guy. I'm not sure what he wants out of it... maybe to assist me and watch the action (thats what it seems like) but more than that, he seems to want to enable me to basically create whatever the hell I want. Which is again, AMAZING. (He also has a wife and kids, before you go there
)
Someone please buy my old lighting setup.

Hello all!
So I went out to the coast and met my dad again. Hes ok, healthy, nervous, lost all his teeth, but still has his hair. It was an awkward and short meeting, but good. I sent him a care package the other day, some new sweaters, a french press and some sweet ass starbucks beans. And socks. And a coffee grinder. And chocolate. Its all about the treats.
The nurse at the home hes in is super nice, hes in good hands there.
So in other new and bizarre news, I got laid off yesterday.
After I got done crying, I realized it might be ok.
You see, cars is all I know. And I do NOT want to continue with appraising. So I'm going to see if I can make a go of it with photography, since its the only other thing I sorta know. And its fun. I'm planning on pimping myself everywhere humanly possible.
Heres Tom with the weather.

So, I just got some huge news. HUGE.
My dad, whom I have not heard from in years (drug issues, mental health issues) has resurfaced sort of.
My aunt got a phone call from an employee at a group home about him. I guess hes been clean and sober for 3 years, and is (and i quote) 'Living in a well. He is racked with so much guilt and shame over what he did (he trainwrecked pretty badly and visibly for a number of years) he does'nt feel he can ever make it right.' The caregiver didn't tell Dad she was calling, she just did, to try to open the door. She says he needs to take baby steps, because hes so fragile emotionally.
I'm so HAPPY that I might have a dad again. I don't know who he is all, what hes actually like when hes himself, if that makes any sense.
I cant wait to see him, its going to be a cryer for sure. The rest of his family is ready to take him back with open arms as well.
SO HAPPY.
On another note, here are some images from yesterday.
