So, the test with the agency model, despite being quite a princess. . . or not, I don't know (whateverthefuck), went well enough for them. They liked the shots. F*Yeah
Assisting Giuliano again this Tuesday. F*Yeah
I don't think I'll ever take this Levi ad out of my entries I love it so much.
Obsessed, maybe?. . . F*YEAH!

Life is good.
Possibly becoming a testing photographer with a dynamite agency in LA, <fingers crossed>
Going to a dizzity-dope house (music) thing put on by another booker from another dynamite LA agency on Thursday.
Get to help a stylist friend Friday when she's working with FUCKING GIULIANO BEKOR!
Yea-a!
I still fucking love this damned commercial.

March 23 - Purchased Scion tC
May 16th - Hyundai Santa Fe hits me, damaging LF quarter panel, bumper, headlight, and hood $2300. Saving grace, neither me or my Dad, passenger was hurt.
June 1st - Infiniti QX4 T-Bones me going 35, no estimate yet, likely totalled. There was can of coke in the backseat held in place merely by a soft box, the impact was enough to cause the can of coke to explode in place, without being thrown around the cabin. My neck, right shoulder, and ribs hurt. . . more and more every hour.
Another View

Noooow read the rest. . .
Life . . . can really seem to be conspiring against you sometimes. . . and then there's life's grand conspiracy against me the likes of which you would not believe.
. . . life is fired due to slipping performance.
But I still love this damned commercial, maybe 'cause this is what life is 'sposed to be like naturally (humans shouldn't try to affect anything, they just fuck shit up).

I used to believe I had no game, well, I don't know how to say how wrong I was apparently. Turns out I'm just retarded with girls unless their hands actually go down my pants and pull me to a dark corner by my junk.
Example.
Me, watching the room for good candid event shots. I eye the cute puerto rican girl across the room. She sees me looking. With me still watching, she, ahem, adjusts her assets, gets up and walks all the way across the room to me, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
Me, "No."
Her, "Are you gay.?"
Me, "Haha, I'll take that as a compliment, but no."
. . .
And the conversation ends there. My aloofness can surprise even myself sometimes.

Heat can do it to me in a bad way, especially with no weed to alleviate the pain.
Heat and humidity can REALLY do it t me.
However, it has lead me to create a new (though likely its not new) mixed drink.
I call it a Hard Priest.
1 part Grape juice (not white grape juice)
1 part Citrus Vodka
Serve over ice in a rocks, or tall, glass.
Good stuff.

Lots of shooting.
More editing.
Lots of requests to work together from talented people (yeAH! (say it like Lil' John)).
Need to lay down the law with SUPER-arrogant photographer friend who tells me to "step it up" (WHAT!!? (again, like Lil' John)).
In love with this recent one.

Lastly- damn it, fuck people who hate on watermarking images displayed on the web.
Time for wine
. . . red, of course
. . . for my health.

So, Friday after getting out of work, I get back to my bike, which I always park in the parking structure where I work cause its safer (right?); and find it on it's side.
I'd seen it fine only 30 minutes earlier. I call security, they call the cops . . . long story short we end up reviewing the security camera footage (its was pointed directly at my bikes parking spot conveniently enough).
This MOTHER FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT pulls up in an old redneck infused step-bed Ford, stops next to the space my bike is in, waits a couple seconds, backs up, pulls in, intentionally hitting my bike and knocking it over, pulls out and takes off. Of course the cameras are so shitty you can't make out their face or the license plates even of the stationary cars.
So now I get to waste a claim to my insurance company to fix the side view mirror, bar sliders (thank God they were there to prevent more damage), and an indentation to the fairings (luckily no crack).
I don't believe in genital mutilation for any degree of revenge, therefor death is the only solution if by some luck this ASSHOLE ever crossed my path.

Well, I suppose its finally time for a new post.
What was missed . . .
Nov. 28th: My birthday
Got lots of good stuff, best was eBay gift cards
Dec 25th: Christmas
Got lots of good stuff, best was eBay gift cards (echo, echo echo, echooo . . .)
January 1st: New Years
Nothing really, my friend flaked on me (as expected), so I stayed home and got baked. Was pretty fun, relaxing.
January ?: Bought stuff
I used my ebay gift cards to by myself a boom and stand, 2 42" umbrella boxes, and a 300w head. Super happy (that awesome beauty shot in my pics is with the new equipment).
That's mostly it.
Shot a girl's zed card (the girl in the beauty shot mentioned above).
Currently I'm planning a bunch of shoots for small show I'll be participating in. I'm not on the bill but will be displaying, its at Marc Mez's studio February 9th. If you're reading this and able, you should attend, there will be a lot of great work by 4 excellent photographers.
