I figured it was gonna be easy, see. Shoot Whitney and her family, who were visiting from the east coast. How hard could that be?
THIS IS THE PART WHERE I TELL YOU HOW IT WAS INCREDIBLY HARD.
Except it wasn’t. They were all adorable. Mom, dad, grandma and Whitney…man, I had a ball. All members of The Tribe, that’s when it turned. When we started talking yiddish and bar mitzvahs, it was like being with my own family.
Cute as buttons, all of ‘em.
So thanks for letting me crack wise to your parents and hit on your nana, Whitney, y’all were awesome.

838pm. Tomorrow, I’m back. Back into the regular rhythm of things. Spent last week in Vegas, a city that is a feast for the eyes. But when I travel, I don’t shoot so much. Dunno why. So I’ve spent the past few days lining things up. IThat means 4, maybe 5 shoots this week. Working a Lakers game, tomorrow. Maybe a burger somewhere in there.
Back to plans (oh how I love plans) and photos (OH, how I love photos) and hanging out with friends and hanging around in my favorite city.
Traveling was fun, seeing friends I rarely see was awesome. But I am a one-city man. More than a few days away, I start to ache for home.
AND SO, for all of you out there who are glad to be exactly where you are, this shot of Carré is for you.

jim, del, and lou at the se7en shoot at the ranch

Not a bad way to spend my first day back in LA.
Yeah, my photos from this shoot, not the best. But such a good time I had! Great group of people, all of ‘em 100% into doing their part.
And there were scooby snacks. Delicious.

Chuck Close Lucas 1987
Finally a visual artist has been nominated to the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, and I can’t think of someone better.
Fred Goldring, Sheila Johnson, Pamela Joyner, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Ken Solomon have also been nominated.

I wish everything looked like this.

day 24

I’m in Vegas until the end of the week, and I left all my photos on the hard drive at home. So posting will be both sporadic and filled with pictures not my own.
Which brings me to Ms. Finch, here. I had a whole bunch of excellent descriptive stuff to…well, describe this, but I think I can best sum it up thusly:
Damn.
As my dad would say, “that’s one cool glass of water, son.”
