you won't find it here » ECHO PARK http://youwontfindithere.com Fri, 24 Jun 2011 17:41:10 +0000 en hourly 1 DARK ENTRIES http://youwontfindithere.com/2008/11/10/dark-entries/ http://youwontfindithere.com/2008/11/10/dark-entries/#comments Mon, 10 Nov 2008 18:32:22 +0000 Mike Piscitelli http://youwontfindithere.com/?p=927 The Hope Gallery had an opening for the TV BOOKS / TINY VICES show last week. It was great. For months I have been telling Cali how I wanted to make a zine of portraits of the people who showed up at the openings and for months I always seemed to be too “busy” to get off my ass and go do it. The days of being too tired/busy to shoot portraits on the sidewalks of Echo Park are over… Here are a few images of 300 I took that night. I will have a zine ready in time for the next Hope Gallery opening so come by if you want one.
 

Keeping the dream alive is a full time job.

Tim Barber is the guy behind TINY VICES and TV BOOKS.

Pete Weiss ended up with some of my favorite portraits of the night.

Dan Monick takes pictures.

Brendan makes me happy.

It does not get any better than Rene. Look at him…

Jessica Hopper as directed by Tim Barber.

The Youngest member of the illustrious SS FRIENDSHIP, Anthony Anzalone

Will Oldham was in Echo Park wearing contacts lenses… Will and I made a video together a few years back that I’m still quite proud of. You can see it here. 

Rene and this youngster are the only two without some form of website in this post… Welcome to the future little one.

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…
