Santa Monica

Safe at last. I dont kno what was better, the easy check in, being able to lay down on all three seats, or watching mean girls on the flight over. which reminds me of two girls back home. i already enjoyed a drink at a nice lounge down the street and met some really interesting people. lets keep the good luck rolling in.

Snow Birds

I just finished assisting Chicago's well respected photographer Ryan Robinson on a shoot today at our local lawn bowling tournament. One of Ryan's many series which he plans for publication is on our Fall Snow Birds. Yes, the tan dude that walks your beach in that hot pink speedo. Dont let his idea of photographing "older folks" turn you away. I mean his series of portraits show the true faces of we what we call "Snow Birds" and gives them such dignity and pride.

You dont get to do things like this everyday, which means you cant take it for granite. I learned alot not only about photography and that a lawn bowling ball isnt a complete circle but alot about the future.

Heres some of his on going projects. The links wouldnt work so work with me and dont be lazy, copy and paste.
Check them out for yourself though, im sure youll be hearing more about him soon.

Thanks for everything Ryan. Keep in touch and ill be seeing you this summer.

Big Brother and Crazy James

So after watching Big Brothers first episode this year, i really have to congrats my good friend James on being one of the new cast members on the show and his chance to win $500,000.00 and of course blasting that girl in the face with the pillow who gave up.

"Big Brother will follow a group of strangers living together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day, seven days a week. One by one, the HouseGuests will vote each other out of the house until at the end of three months, the last remaining HouseGuest will win the grand prize." CBS


If you know James, you know exactly how this show is ganna end. If you dont know him, theres a even better reason to watch it. I uploaded a few videos that can only say so much, take my advice. Watch James and the new Big Brother cast.









James is also (un till the show is over) biking around the world, no money, no home.

Dennys eat your heart out.

For anyone that joined us for our 6:00 Ihop FREE pancakes, will vouge
