Got to chill today with the Plex, Toadee, Muno, Brobee, and Foofa in Gabbaland along with the rest of the Yo Gabba Gabba family, there were also some other pretty amazing guests including Matthew Gray Gubler! I can't name the musical guest just yet, but it was pretty amazing, and I can't wait till the episode airs!

So the first time I met T-Pain a couple of years ago was at a studio in LA with Travie Mccoy and right when we become introduced, He ball checked me after that, we all headed to vegas for a rather insane weekend where they word debauchery doesn't even come close to defining what went on, anyway fast forward a couple years later and He had me work on this, his new program with Izotope, The T-Pain Effect. I'm not too sure how it works or what it really does, he's the beat maker, hit maker, not for me, I'm just the picture taker... thats the closest I'll ever get to rhyming anything...

Here's the first sneak peak at my next look book for the gals over at Cleobella. This is really one of my favorites that I've put together for them. I can't wait to get them all up and out for everyone to see.

Every now and then some one comes to me and says hey, if you could do anything you want for a shoot what would you do. Now this shoot wasn't exactly that, but pretty close. My friends over at Radii and I have been talking about working together for a bit and i'll be honest with you all I've been in super nerd and comic book mode. I'll admit that earlier in the month I went to comic con and that totally shifts the coolguy/geek scale way off balance.

In a strange way one of my favorite bands Rocket from the Crypt kinda helped inspire this shoot as well, its hard to explain how and why, if you're into them, you'd probably get it, if not, then you should go dust off your record player and figure it out, you'd be doing your ears a favor. I had a ton of inspirations Going back to the comic thing, for the snake gal, I used Mystique from the Xmen movies as a big inspiration and for the cheetah gal, I really have to admit it was one of those boyhood fantasies to basically make her a real life Cheetara from the Thundercats and of course my favorite and the first rendition of
Catwoman, the 1960's Julie Newmar one.

I'm sure some people out there might be bummed about me going a little out there on this one, but to quote one of the greatest movies ever, Spinal Tap,

Ian Faith: They're not gonna release the album... because they have decided that the cover is sexist.
Nigel Tufnel: Well, so what? What's wrong with bein' sexy?

As promised, here's the rest of my shoot for Celine Ouaknine's line Cece L'amour. It was a pretty great shoot to put together, easily one of my favorites so far this year.

I combined a lot of various movie references and techniques together for this one. Theres alot of Douglas Sirk inspiration in this one and of course a loose Lolita as well. Well maybe more like Douglas' spirit, but lit with the color more like Todd Haynes' Far from Heaven, the Douglas Sirk homage.

My living room also makes a guest appearance in this one as it should, its really one of my favorite places. I do think I may have to lay off shooting there for a while, considering I also shot the Gym Class Heroes there as well, but I suppose I could always use that as an excuse to redecorate, anyway i'm really looking forward to seeing what Celine and I can do together in the future for the next round of Cece L'amour!

Here is the first teaser image to come out for the Creative Recreation photoshoot that I did recently in Kenya. This for sure one of my highlights from last year. It'll probably be a while till more of this stuff comes out, because my stuff that I shot earlier in the year from Cairo still has been fully released!

Here is the first image to drop from shooting with one of my favorite skaters right now Theotis Beasley for Skullcandy. The set that we did with Theo was pretty amazing, so there will be alot more to come with him.

Happy Holidays everyone! Its been a remarkable year for me, and I can't express how much I appreciate the support from everyone just comeing to my site as well as all of my clients for keeping the lights on here at the studio. I just recently got one of these cards in the mail from my friends over at L-R-G with one of my photos I shot of Rob G over in Yosemite earlier this year. It made me happy to see this, I almost forgot I even did this shoot earlier this year, time really flew by. Anyway, speaking of
L-R-G I just saw this ad that I shot
feature modern day crooner Mayer Hawthorne in Complex Magazine. It was pretty cool I was chilling in a
7-11 waiting for some friends to buy their beers, and just stumbled upon this ad in the magazine. It makes me wonder about all the photos I have shot out there that people run that I don't know about.

Here are some behind the scenes photos from my Cleobella photoshoot I did recently, courtesy of their facebook site. This was actually one of the more fun shoots I have had this year, and I can't wait till they revamp their site with all the new photos I shot for them.

think for the better, the internet is terrible out here. Which means I get no email, no business stuff, and no headaches from the outside world.

Recently LA/NY/NV/Gublerland resident MGG, or Matthew Gray Gubler, or The Gube, or what I prefer to call him Matthew put up this photo that I shot recently called "something wicked wobbles this way". How this photo came to be is quite a tale, one that I won't bore you with now. Its from this photo that he, and the other higher powers that be have granted me the title that I now don of "celebrated photographer" being bequeathed such an honor and a surprise, one thing I must say is that the nectar is so so sweet on this side.

I can't think of any Australian's that I don't like, I am a bit terrified by their women I must admit, but thats because they can party like none other, but aside from that I like them all, and Insight pro surfer Kai Otton is no different. I was shooting Kai for an upcoming Skullcandy ad for the new Agent Headphone. I have learned quite a bit about the land down under by those fine fine culturalists Jermaine and Brett of the Flight of the concords such as "Australians like to name their women after men, revel in their convect past, and don't mind a cup a tea brewed in hot tap water". but I won't hold that against Kai.

I consider myself a pretty hip dude, but every once in a while a little gem slips through the cracks and thats how I really feel about Stones Throw recording artist Mayer Hawthorne. I guess soul is the best way to describe his music, but you should really check it out, I'm pretty into it. I feel really fortunate to have been able to work with him for a recent shoot and hopefully we'll be working together in the future. Although to be honest with you, I really like his album photography. Much respect for whom ever shot it and please, if you know who it is, for sure email and inform me. Anyway look for more Mayer Hawthorne photos, very very soon.

As pretty much everyone know photography is about capturing a moment and light and all that blah blah blah. Well anyway on my travels I always stumble upon things that I am into or objects that I just want to capture. I was recently on a location scout for Cleobella Bags . When I stumble upon a little house with ALOT of character. I can't really give too much away right now, but here are a few images of some little things that I found around the home. I also found these little dolls that totally creeped me out. I should be hammering out this shoot really soon, so I can get more random pics out there for you all to see of this great little spot, it was pretty sweet.

Here are one of the images that I shot for DJ Class a while back that they used for the Zune Click it with Class promotion. The shoot took place a while ago, I just totally spaced (like I usually do) and never put this up here. So here it is. I remember rushing to put the DJ booth in the studio so that we could have some real live entertainment while shooting, and that particular day we had DJ Y.O.O.K.s take the helm. I dug the tunes, but I was really hoping to get Class on the tables, maybe preform his little ditty "i'm the ish" , I tried... but unfortunately it didn't happen, maybe next time.

Here's a video that Pretty Boy Paul cooked up for the Shoot It! X 944 release party in Scottsdale, AZ the hometown of both companies. It was awesome of the Shoot It! crew to be so hospitable to us, and honestly we had a great time, but really you'll be able to see that in the video. Ladies of Scottsdale, don't fret, we will be back soon!
