Weekend’s supposed to be warm and sunny.

Me, I’ll be stuck inside the whole time, but you go ahead and enjoy. Don’t worry about me. Go live your life, I’ll…I’ll be fine.

That’s it, all landscapes, all the time, from now on.

Years from now they’ll talk about this as my “people-less portrait” phase.

Or maybe I’m writing this at 513 in the morning, barely awake, thinking this just another in a series of elaborate dreams.

Maybe I need to go back to bed.

Feel free to use Katie’s smile as a blueprint for your weekend.

Your weekend should be like this.

Me, my weekend’s gonna be work. So…not like this. So…lame.

But I’ve got today off, so today will maybe be like this. And that will be anti-lame.

AND SO, if your weekend is all about laughing and jumping off low walls, this shot of Laura is for you.

Been stuck inside all day. Would much rather be outside, taking pictures like this.

Zoetica and I took some photos for her internet column about fashion and make-up and other fancy stuff I know very little about.

We shot at the beach, on what was basically the best light I’ve ever seen. There was this hint, A MERE SUGGESTION, of haze in the sky, diffused the light perfectly.

I wept, just a wee bit. I’m man enough to admit that. Strong men also cry.

1126pm. TELL SLEEP I’M COMING. TELL IT I’M COMING, AND HELL’S COMING WITH ME.

HELL’S. COMING. WITH ME.

I don’t even know what all that means.

I DO know that I’m sleepy, and that I’ve had an excellent day. Really awesome. Makes perfect sense, as tomorrow I’ll be spending the majority of the day cooped up at the Staples Center, making sure the folks don’t die during the Pac Ten Tournament.

Did I mention I care nothing for basketball?

I care nothing for basketball.

I do care for money! Tomorrow I will be making money. Mmmm, money.

AND SO, tonight I sleep, tomorrow I “work.” And if you have to work tomorrow, this shot of Alie, in the 2nd street tunnel in lovely downtown LA (I told her it’d be okay, we weren’t on the Hobo Side) is for you.

813am. It’s all happening.

More good news by email. Should get to talk about that next week.

Photo shoot, today, been trying to line this one up for weeks, our schedules had more than a little trouble lining up, but here we are.

And maybe I’ll just get my favorite burger, tonight. Yep.

Fine fine Wednesday ahead of me.

AND SO, if you see the sun shining today and find that you’ve got just enough time to sit back for a second and enjoy it, this shot of Amanda is for you.

What do you think about imitating someone's work? Flattery or theft? Or does it depend on whether it's credited or not?

Oof, this is a complex one. I’m just gonna avoid the normal sayings that go along with this...

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:14:35 -0800

913am. I’m just gonna go ahead and let today just slide on by. No important decisions, no big ideas. Not enough sleep last night has me feeling like I’ve just had my cup of tea poisoned by the by some shadowy group. Soon they’ll whisk me away to a remote and nondescript island, using arcane and increasingly inexplicable methods in order to break me.

I WILL GIVE YOU AND YOUR MYSTERIOUS OVERLORDS NOTHING! I AM NOT A NUMBER, I AM A FREE MAN! MY LIFE IS MY OWN!!!

I probably need breakfast and a nap.

Oh, but tomorrow, that should be quite fun. And yes, I’m looking at you with a devilish smirk on my face.

Ooh, and just got an awesome email.

But never mind that, for now.

AND SO, if your fingers are crossed that Tuesday has the good sense to just leave you be, this shot of Carré is for you.

Night, lady.

Drew’s a buddy of mine, one of the original Polaroid crew. Back in ‘07 we’d all run around the fair state of California and take as many pictures as humanly possible.
Unfortunately, past few years, man’s been busy with other endeavors.
Which is a damn shame, because, as you can see here, the man’s got himself an excellent eye. Glad he’s back into it.

Hi Lou! I'm a big fan of your work. I read on your last post that you wrap your camera w/ plastic when shooting in the rain. Just wondering, what kind exactly and how? I'd love to shoot in the rain.

Awhile back I went to my favorite bagel place, the Bagel Broker. I was ordering a few dozen bagels...
