Last night I had a chance to have a quick conversation with Brad Bird who was at a party I was shooting. I’ve only seen his Simpson’s work as well as The Incredibles

Colette Nelson outside my house
I walked out of my flat last night and found two huge wild postings of Colette Nelson outside. There’s a series of six panels (2 of her, 2 each of 2 other models) for the campaign which has television components as well with Colette and Jitka Harazimova.
It’s kinda weird to see something like that with someone you know – pretty cool!
New faces at the Arnold
It’s always surprising how small a world it is in the fitness and bodybuilding industry. Every year at the Arnold, one of my favorite assignments is to find new faces to set up shoots with.
This year I met Tonya (left) and Dana perusing the expo and shot with them during the weekend. It turns out they know Becca Swanson, Ali Huston and Deb Widdis whom I had shot in Chicago at Jr Nationals a few years ago. Tonya is actually going to be joining the Big Arm Gym and looks like she’s got a good start already.

The more you look…
It’s weird how the more you look at things, how they seem to change and what first appealed to you becomes less interesting and how things that were at first less interesting become more so.
It’s kind of like the hooky songs that you first like on an album and how the longer you own the CD you start liking other songs more. I guess it’s the whole acquired taste type of thing.
Anyhow, from the wedding this past weekend, this image has really got my attention. I think it’s because it’s more abstract that I like it since you see so many ‘traditional’ and ‘nice’ shots, so anything different and unusual has more appeal…

Orson Restaurant space
Tonight I shot a private birthday party at a new restaurant space that will most likely be open in Oct 2006 and part of the evening included an Elvis Costello cover where I snapped this photo of the drummer.
HARD-Fi @ Popscene
My friend Julie wanted to check out HARD-Fi at Popscene tonight and since I was shooting at the SFMOMA earlier, I decided it’s be a good nightcap to that.
Since I had my gear with me I saw a few other photogs shooting and decided to whip out the gear towards the end of the set. Not sure what this guy’s name is but he had some pretty intense eyes.
Awards and the society crowd
This lil crab guy was either an edible portion of the sushi stand or decorative in nature. My sister and I both like these crunchy crabs, but someone else tought it wasn’t quite edible so I didn’t want to risk it that night.
This was from the 2005 California Home and Design magazine awards party, and there were a lot of the usual society crowd on hand, and I found out that night that I was in the current issue of 7×7 Magazine (see p.73) with my friend Sarah Berger. Our ad for weddings for Orange is also in that same issue on pg. 135 – check it out!
Frank Chu buttons
You’ve seen them on hipsters and now you can have your very own Frank Chu pin.
Half proceeds go to Frank and we’re trying to get him to open his own store too!
