Thin
Thin takes a look at anorexia and follows several women in a treatment facility in Florida. It’s a documentary that is a very intimate look at the problem and one of the most striking things was how many of the women had to leave treatment prematurely because their insurance ran out. Since the film premiered in 2006, it was shot and predated the current health care debate and highlights many of the shortcomings in our country, but more importantly takes a close look at the impact of our culture’s obsession with body image.
Film Photo Booths
I love film photo booths and kinda dislike the digital and polaroid ones that seem to be a lot more prevalent of late. I’ve always said that film is going the way of fine art and accordingly there are less places supporting film processing, etc. and this is also the case in the photo booth world.
Luckily there are still many film photo booths and there’s a website dedicated to them (photobooth.net) with a locator, etc.
Here in San Francisco we have a few although we’ve lost some too like the awesome B&W one that used to be at Elbo Room (where this photo was taken a few years ago) now replaced by a non-film booth. I was at Annie’s Social Club this week though and found that they had a nice B&W film booth that rocks.
Calpis
This unfortunately named drink when translated directly from Japanese is Calpis which sounds a bit too much like cow piss, so they are using the name Calpico instead. Either way I love this stuff. While I was in Hawaii for my friends wedding, it felt like I was almost in Japan with so many Japanese tourists and Japanese stores/products but I was super psyched to find this bottle at a ubiquitous ABC Store.
Gershoni party
So I’m finally back in San Francisco and it’s great to be home! I shot another party at Gershoni Studios this past Friday and took a requisite mirror shot on their dope mirror downstairs. I would have liked to play around with it more but had to actually do work too
🙂
Atlantic City fitness
I didn’t shoot as much of the stage shots this weekend for the 2007 Atlantic City Pro-Am competition at the Trump Taj Mahal, but this was one of the few shots of the fitness routines that I did take. It’s of Bethany Gainey who placed second and looked really impressive. She’s now off to the Fitness Olympia in Las Vegas in a couple weeks…
me at work
James Cook took this screen grab of video footage he had of me shooting in NYC this past August. I don’t quite remember what I was doing laying on the ground like that but I think it was shooting with Jennifer Dejoya or Ali Huston and Jaime Reed (aka American Gladiator Fury).
