Pasadena Weekly called again and sent me off to photograph Keanu Reeves, Director Scott Derrickson, and two Caltech professors Sean Carroll and Joel Burdick. Off promoting his new movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still", Keanu and Scott stopped by Caltech for a pannel discussion about the movie and science. It got the cover story so make sure you pick one up!
A good friend of mine asked me to come by her old ice manufacturing warehouse in downtown LA to capture the space before its torn down. The building was built back in the early 1900's and boy did it show! With the old building scent in the air, dust everywhere, and paint chipping off I could almost consider it a playground for me!
A few weeks ago Verdugo Magazine hit me up to photograph Garry Marshall on the set of his new play, Happy Days. He wrote "Happy Days" and "Laverne & Shirley", produced a whole bunch of hit movies, and acted in many many more. It was great to meet him and snap a few pictures! In the photo with him is Matt Walker. They are working together on the play Happy Days and to get them in the same room is almost impossible.
Meeting Kathleen and Maurizio for a shoot with Angelino at their beautiful Italian furniture store, Eccola, they asked me to come back to photograph some of their upscale Italian furniture. I had a blast photographing them and had a good friend help, Luis Sanchez Alba, www.certainrisks.com.
Modern Luxury and Angelino Magazine have come out with a new magazine: Angelino Interiors. I was asked to be apart of their premier issue and photograph a good handful of people and the interiors they have created here in Los Angeles.
