735pm.
Aw man, that shoot…it was good, and I am now extremely tired. And this is AFTER a nap.
BUT THERE’S MORE DAY LEFT!!!
We shot some video (I don’t know if it’s any good, but I had fun doing it, so hopefully I can cling to that as I watch it and cringe. MOVING PICTURES ARE HARD.), took loads of pictures, had Amanda act like an insane murderer (she loves acting crazy…hm…) ate Twizzlers.
What more can a man ask for?
A horse that shoots lasers out of its eyes. And a Batcave. That’s what.
710am.
I’m shooting Amanda again, today!!!
Gonna try something new, there’s an excellent chance it’ll be a complete disaster.
Complete disaster = boring results.
So, not literally a complete disaster. More of a disappointing occasion.
But we’re gonna do our best to make sure that doesn’t happen.
dwam asked: For the few pictures I've seen, you're damn handsome ! Aren't you interested to lend your pretty features and presence to other photographers, more often, as a model ?
(you can take that as a real sincere compliment without hidden interests, cause I'm usually not really into men's beauty.)
Heh, oh Dwam, you do know how to sweet talk the lads.
Thanks, I’m batting my eyelashes at you demurely at this very moment.
And, well, it’s never really occurred to me to model. Seems like a hard job. Someone wants to take my picture, they’re more than welcome to.
Just don’t ask me to fake smile. Can’t stand that.
arranchild asked: hey how did you put that donate bit on your blog I love it!
Has anyone ever donated?
Paypal has a tutorial, I got it from them. Frankly, I have absolutely no memory of the process, but check out their site, it’ll walk you through the whole thing.
And yes, it has made me obscenely wealthy. I am currently writing this while being waited on by monkey butlers. On a chair made of gold.
736am.
Let’s just take it easy, today. No trying to jam-pack the day full of things we’ve been thinking of all week, where we end up rushing our way right back into the weekday.
Relax a bit. Spend all week being productive, then try to do the same on the weekend.
Damn productivity.
1104pm.
Tonight I will sleep easy, dream of England, and wake up right on time.
May you all do the same.
639pm.
Got my Mamiya very fixed. Looking at the first roll back, reminds me of why I loved this beast in the first place.
It’s unwieldy, and I get mighty frustrated when the shots don’t turn out masterpieces, but when they do turn out, oh man, nothing better. The level of detail, the nuanced qualities of light, gorgeous.
250pm.
Going back to the ranch, this weekend.
Had a whole plan, make up, stylist, wardrobe. That part fell through.
So I stomped my feet and wrung my hands for awhile.
Then I pulled it together, came up with something else that’ll hopefully be awesome.
There will be ranch. Amanda. Me. Video.
It’s what all the cool kids are doing, apparently…
photophonics asked: What ever happened to your magazine idea?
Working on it! keeps changing, title, idea, it’s something i work on when I’m out of stuff to do. tinkering, that’s where i’m at w/it. Been talking to some other people, thinking about new ways of doing it, making it interesting-er.
Heh, that’s not a word!
Maybe something for the iPad, something more interview-based. Maybe video.
Problem is, it’s easy to just brainstorm a bunch of sweet ideas, “ooh, we could do THIS”. Hard part is actually getting it all done.
Let me say that again: THE HARD PART IS IN THE DOING. If you can actually start work on a project, man, you’re halfway there. I’m really the type of person who likes to just come up with ideas and let someone else actually do the Doing, but sometimes laziness loses out to “BUT IT’D BE SO AWESOME, IT SIMPLY MUST BE DONE, AND YOU, LOU NOBLE, YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO IT.”
So I’ve got two weeks I’ve put aside to do nothing but work on stuff like this, been working on it every day so far this week, another big meeting next week, I think we’ll see something very soon.
Of course, it’s gonna be completely different than when it started, but that’s kind of the fun/weird/exciting part.

This would’ve been a much better movie.
Love the design, here, the way he makes the mash-up look easy & natural.
