Burnin' Down the House

I was driving around looking for locations to shoot Open Mike Eagle for Mush Records a few months ago> This was my number one choice. Sadly we were not welcome inside...

MARGARET CHO - Guitarded

Art therapy and music therapy come together in hilarious lyrics and beautiful music. Margaret Cho is busy working on her album set to come out late this year! I will have updates as available and you can check her website www.margaretcho.com

A LITTLE ARTY PARTY:

This is what our crew looked like at the art show...after looking at the art, of course



BARRY MCGEE and his daughter ASHA were there:

A couple years ago I went to see a Roller Derby game here in Los Angeles. My good friend, Heather was here for the match all the way from Austin, TX. I recently saw "Whip It" which is Drew Barrymore's directorial debut and well worth the $12 to go see! It got me thinking about that game and I am truly inspired. I want to join the Derby, then again, I want to be a super hero too... maybe when I grow up!

I couldn't resist

Today was one of the best days of my life. It was today that I got a job as host of The Tonight Show. It's really sad that Conan was fired, but I'm sure he will get over it...

Where the Hyped Things Are

With all the hype surrounding the new Spike Jonze Movie, "Where the Wild Things Are", I just about jumped when I heard about the Maurice Sendak exhibit at the Contemporary Jewish Museum of San Francisco. Apparently I can be mistaken for a 6 year old boy and here you see me enjoying an informative lecture for my peers and I...

I was surprised to learn of "the other story", as Sendak calls it, that is woven in throughout the majority of his works. This other story, illustrates his family's struggles with the holocaust and his Jewish heritage. I highly recommend this exhibit to anyone who has any interest at all in seeing the film or just in learning about a brilliant artist, who has influenced millions...

AN HORSE

This past may I was up in Vancouver BC and had the privilege of shooting stills on An Horse's music video for Camp Out, directed by Angela Kendall.  I'm a fan on An Horse and have listened to Rearrange Beds on repeat probably 30 million times, so there was nothing that would have kept me off this set!

Over the 2-day shoot I probably shot 2,000 photos. After delivering the photos to the band I backed them up on an external hard drive and that was that. I don't know what compelled me to go through them this week, but I am really happy I did. The photo above was one that I had kind of overlooked, but now after some months have gone by I feel that I have gained a new perspective and I am really drawn to this image.
