Matt in Hollywood...

Elephant Army

my good friend drew nix just released his new cd...i got to shoot the cover for his new band the elephant army. check out their myspace!

Pacino

al pacino was on letterman the other night, he is looking a lot older now. it made me stop and think...for some strange reason i have always had this mental picture in my head of him as the infamous young scarface, from the 1983 movie. it's crazy to see iconic figures of that generation growing old. i took some photos of an abandoned gas station in holbrook, az. gas prices averaged $1.22 when he was tony montana, just like the sign says.

$4.60

i like to snap pictures from my car. i was driving around la today and was really surprised by the $4.60 gas prices at the prena gas station on melrose and fairfax. too expensive!

Hollywood

today i went to the salvation army. our communtiy group from the hc goes every other wednesday to work with the kids who live there. it's really a blessing helping and getting to know them better...afterwards, i had a photoshoot. me and my photographer friend, joanna trimble, from nyc shoot together on different projects. we are starting our own production company, joko production. we hung out with our actor/comedian friend matt in hollywood and took some portraits.

Iraq

i went to an art opening a few weeks back at the 01gallery in downtown la. it was called the "shock and aw...s#@&" show, in honor of the 5th year anniversary of the war in iraq. i saw some really cool paintings and silk screens.

The Face

i had a casting and a photoshoot up at the studio today. met some really cool people that i'm going to shoot for my upcoming projects. just got back from my friend's b-day party in silverlake. he's moving to ny this week...he's gonna love brooklyn.

Dodgers

yesterday i went to griffith park and saw a dodger's game with brea and the hollywood church...it was awesome!

Rocket Girl

one from the archives...peri, nyc

Wednesday

Darth Vader

just wrapped our second photo party tonight...may the force be with you.

Photo Party

i picked up my contact sheets and negs from the past weeks shoots at the icon. they weren't ready, so i went over to the lacma for an hour or so to kill some time. came back to find a ticket under the wiper of my car...note to self, beware of parking in the anti-gridlock zones of la. here's a few scans from the first photo party.

LAzy Sunday

last week, the found gallery showed some of my work at the art now fair in nyc...this was one of the photos.
