FUCK THE KIDS

Dallas Clayton is a writer. He is also a good guy and a friend. He has a newly redesigned website where you can read what he writes. He also has a book release party this weekend that will probably be quite fun and entertaining if you don’t hate books or children.

LIGHT SPEED TO BLACKOUT

Look how she shines.

Trace just got back from Japan with a new hairdo and these amazing pocket sized flashes that sync to the flash on your camera. Harnessing light in the palm of your hand is what I can only assume it feels like to be a cop or maybe Jesus…

Mid flight.

Vava is one of my favorite photographers he came to town to work on a new book project. I met Vava when I was a scared little kid in NYC. I have learned a lot from him over the years and would probably have a very different career if we had not met and more importantly if he hadn’t taken me under his wing.

Blake is home from tour and has posted a new AMAZING song… He is now getting ready to head off to NYC to defend his title belt in a guitar shred off… (seriously)

I’m really liking this.

Its good to be alive.

Hope Gallery had another awesome opening. Cali continues to do it for the “kids” and he’s got to be almost a hundred…

I’m not on the east side very often so its always special when I run into people like Rene who remind me that the world has way more amazing people in it than one would think. Rich Dad. Poor Dad.

Dawes played last week. If you’re a single guy in Los Angeles looking for a hot rich white teenage girlfriend you should be at these shows…

Jordan is now legal…

HAD YOU CONFESSED EARLIER

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”.

The view from a train at 80 mph. Los Angeles to San Diego.

The Nuclear Tits.

After the shoot we had and hour to kill so we went by the MCASD next to the train station.

Maya Lin’s SYSTEMATIC LANDSCAPES was mind blowing!!!
Curtis posted some of my photos on slightnostalgia.com along with Jerry Hsu and more bros being added daily.

HAMBURGER EYES

Cali and his friends from Family opened a space in Echo Park called the Hope Gallery. I made the trek to the east side for the opening of the Hamburger Eyes show and was not disappointed. It feels good to know you can still get inspired by a room full of B&W photos.
A man proud of his hand painted sign sits with his full time unpaid teenage gallery manager.
My photos don’t give the prints justice.
Nate!
