Venice Beach Freakshow

             The article I photographed on Todd Ray's Venice Beach Freakshow for The U.K.'s Bizarre Magazine is out on the stands this month. I had a blast shooting this one. Todd's a quite a character and a bona-fide southern gentleman. The Super Freaks are an amazing bunch. It was super cool to shoot Murrugun again too.

Adrian and Masa

On the Train to Yokohama. I made it with my Bronica. Ah la la la la la la

Back To Japan

I'm on my way back to Japan for a few days. Adrian and Masa have lined up a couple of heavies in the world of Japanese tattooing who are kind enough to allow me to photograph their work. This next book is going to be a monster...

Legalize It?

This one's a collaboration Between John and myself. We shot this yesterday (4/20) at his studio. This November, Californians will vote (Ok, realistically, it'll be about half the Californians that go to the trouble to actually vote) on a ballot measure to decriminalize marijuana. If it passes, I'm buying stock in Twinkies.

Veggies!

Manitoba and roma tomatoes

Jalapeno and green bell peppers.  There's also basil and cilantro mixed in there but they have yet to sprout. Stay tuned.

Promo Cards

New promo cards went out last week. If you didn't get one, hit me up.

Jim Marshall RIP

I'm sad to say that Jim Marshall Died yesterday. Jim was a legend in the world of rock and roll photography. I had the pleasure of meeting, and photographing him last year when he spoke here in town. He will be missed.

Ruff Life

 

The San Diego Magazine cover story, photographed by yours truly, on the local beer scene is out on the stands this month. The plethora of great breweries and beer bars make San Diego  a beer lover's paradise. I must say, there's worse ways to make a living that hanging out in bars and breweries, drinking beer and taking pictures. A big thanks to everyone and the mag, the watering holes, and to the brewers. Cheers!

Inked Magazine

Inked Magazine, In their infinite wisdom, has called Bloodwork:Sleeves a "Must Read" and "the granddaddy of over-the-top cool tattoo books". It's in their March issue. Thanks Guys!

Japan Wrap Up

Aw Ma, is it really over? Yes, sadly it is. I'm back home now. The jet lag is more or less worn off and I'm slipping back into the grind. I have had a chance to browse through some of the 55 + GB of photos I shot throughout the trip, the lion's share of which remain top secret for the time being. I am able to share a few gems with everyone out there in blog land. These more or less sum up, at least to me, what was a great trip filled with good times, good friends, and good food. I'm so lucky to be able to work with such an amazing group of dedicated, talented, people. A big thanks goes out to everyone involved.
