The photos of Dill are a few years old but I thought they really tied the post together. I don’t remember what her name was but she was way psyched on her new tattoo and wanted me to shoot a photo. The kids today are really stepping it up.

Charlie is an amazing man. I can not find the words at this moment to fairly explain why Charlie is such an amazing dude so you’re going to have to trust me.

These photos are from an Alien Workshop tour in 99 or 2000. I had hung out with freddy a bit in the city but it wasn’t until this tour did I realize just how amazing he is on and off his skateboard. Freddy taught me that in New Jersey you’re not drunk until you blackout. I have no recollection of when or where this first photo was taken…

I have a ton of new stuff to show but am under some crazy deadlines. Soon…

Pipe Masters 2005

I met Jana in New York when she was 16 or 17.  She had only been in the city a couple weeks and had already been lured away from the safety of her models apartment by a Haitian club promoter named Kiki.

Damn you 4th of July. When greeted with this face I should have known it wasn’t safe for me out there…

When I first moved to NYC I would see this skinny indie rock kid backstage at fashion shows taking paparazzi photos. I was young and a bit threatened that someone I might know in the real world had also figured out a way to con people into thinking he belonged there. Its kind of funny that before I had even met this guy I already hated him and that feeling would have a reoccurring role in our almost 10 year friendship. Ladies and Gentleman may I introduce you all to the almost famous James “Mr Nervous” Ransone.

Lost track of the day and I’m tired of staring at this screen…

A random page from my journal is gonna have to pass as a post today.

Los Angeles continued to hold onto its awesomeness all throughout the weekend.

At about 11 last night I found this guy at my front door. Dan had just come from a screening of a new movie he’s in with Mr. Larry Hamilton. I can’t remember if the movie was called THE WATER MAN or THE SEAMAN… Either way its pretty crazy that Dan gets invited on trips with BIG WAVE celebrities yet he drives around looking for friends houses with the lights on because he doesn’t have a cellphone.

I found this roll of film the other day in a pair of shoes that I was throwing away. Most of the photos were from a location scout that had to be at least 3 years ago. For all the bad shit that is said about LA its still really fun to shoot in. From the city to suburbia.

When I plugged my phone into the computer to update my contacts I learned that I had 1159 photos on there. I have edited it down to 40 from the 300 I looked at before getting really bored… The phone doesn’t save them by date so I think its a pretty good representation of the last 14 months.

I’ve kept a low profile the last few days to avoid the first week of summer crowds and to fall back in love with listening to 90’s hardcore records while making stuff with my hands. Saggy sent me this text today… “I’m so stoked we’re working on resisting the siren song of the surf” There is swell in the sea yet I’m happier being in my dungeon making stuff. Learning how to love again has left me with not much to post on here so I leave you with some photos from a shoot I did earlier this week at John Paul DeJoria’s little house. Yeah. The dude from the PAUL MITCHELL SALONS and DON’T MESS THE WITH ZOHAN.

Bellow is the third attempt in 9 years that FUCKING AWESOME has made an ad. The second was turned in by Jason last week but was quickly turned down by the powers that be. Since my parents frequent this site I have decided to not to include Jason’s version… Please leave a comment letting us know what you think of the new ad so we can pass it on to the marketing department.

I’m pretty sure that these photos are from May or June 2001. Me, Dill and Ty left the city to go skate with Gino and Keenan out in Long Island. I can’t believe that these photos are 7 years old. This was the last day I spent with Keenan. He passed away not long after these photos were taken.

Over the years many have referred to me as not the friendliest of people on first encounter. I have also had more than a few lady friends frantically wake me in the middle of the night because I sounded as though I was trying to kill myself. I’m not going to pretend that there isn’t a part of me that didn’t enjoy the view of a crying girl desperately trying to bring me back to life. Like most things, after awhile it just gets annoying… [Read more →]

I shot these polaroids of the MAKE-UP at the very last show that the Jabberjaw ever had. It was a very sad day for a lot of kids with pegged pants and beatle boots. I think it was 97 or 98. I did a lot of growing up at this place… I had my first real conversation with a crack head out front when I was 14 or 15 and drank my first 40oz while trying to convince the prettiest girl from Whittier that she should make out with me. It didn’t happen that night but I did throw up in her car.

This morning I went down to San Diego to shoot author John Perkins. The polaroid film expired in 2001 which I think is why it has such an awesome tone. John ended up being a really nice dude and I highly recommend checking out his book “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man”. [Read more →]

We shot Bill Ward yesterday at the Echo. [Read more →]

This weekend Sage and I worked on the book were making for the opening of his show in October. I love this man and I’m really excited to be making stuff together. Get ready world… [Read more →]
