The Limited Collection

I shot this catalog recently for Quiksilver's "Limited" line. It's their boutique line that, as the name states, sells in limited quantities. The designs are more sophisticated than their regular line and a bit more fashionable. Thanks to my art director I was allowed to shoot film which I hadn't shot in a loooooong time and it made me remember how much I love film, and the softness you get from it that you just can't get from digital. We also shot a lot of Polaroid which was a treat as well. I shot with my converted Polaroid 110A which gives everything a timeless quality and produces precious little prints.
We used skateboarder Alex Olson as a model. Alex is a quiet and direct guy with a jaded sarcasm about him that I really appreciate, not to mention he's just an incredible athlete.

Los Difuntos

I shot these of LA psychobilly stars Los Difuntos last week. It was a good time and they were a really respectful group of kids. Their new record "Born and Raised in East LA" is great energetic psychobilly straight from the hotbed that is LA's MexiPsycho scene.

An image of sheer terror

A while back Jodi and I decided to go to Magic Mountain to ride some roller coasters.
Jodi refused to go on this thing simply called "X" so I was left to ride this terrifying machine next to a laughing stranger. When I got off the ride people were gathered around the picture viewing area pointing and laughing at this image.

The Wild Ones

I came to the studio the other morning to find this new piece across the front of the building.
Then today it was gone thanks to the city's graffiti eradication program. It was the first piece I was disappointed to see go.
