Liza Minnelli

So this was something that I was gonna post a few months back, so here it is:

Hahaha, so I've been looking through a lot of old stuff I shot since graduating from NESOP and I found these pics that have really stirred up some shit. I got a job lead from an anonymous source ;) but the email read something like, "High profile celeb looking for "paparazzi" style photos." So I inquired and heard it was Liza Minnelli. So I figured "Why the fuck not?" I emailed the fella back and he told me where to be and when to be there. So I take the bus from Chelsea to Boston to catch the Green line to the spot. Well when I got there I managed to get a drink and some free food from the bar before getting spit on doing a light set up.......So now I'm obviously stoked! Well about 5 or 6 mins later, the other photog shows up........looking like a HUGE dick in his armani suit and his DG glasses. So here I go, guess I'm gonna follow his lead and here's what happened........"Smile Liza!!!"






























































I was supposed to go to another Hotel to photograph them at Rowes Wharf, but needless to say I didn't haha. I never heard back from the guy in the aqua polo, can't imagine why. And I think that's his son to camera right looking kinda jealous.

So here are some photos from my first trip to visit my girl Danielle before I moved in with her. I took a train from South Station, Boston, MA to Jax, FL. It was a long, wild ride that took 24 hours with one layover in Penn Station in NYC.

Randomness and Friends

I'm just sitting here bored right now after a busy day of dealing with a group of dipshit's at the repair shop where my girl's car is being fixed. So I thought that I'd throw up some random photos of my last couple of weeks in Chelsea, MA before moving here.

Soccer Ball in my backyard













Chairs set up in my neighbor's yard





































Here's some photos I had started working on of shooting my friends before they moved back to their countries, cities, or states after graduation. With this project I worked on photographing everyone the way that I saw their personality. Here's a few that I've shot so far, I'm hoping to get to shoot more of them when I visit Boston in Dec.

Jax

It's been a month now that I've been here in Jax and things are going allllll right. I'm working my ass off trying to get shooting and assisting jobs right now, while working in a pizzaria right now. I haven't been doing too much shooting unfortunately because I don't have wheels at the moment, but I've shot some interior shots at the apt. and some self ports along with some of Danielle my girlfriend. Here's some shots that I've shot in the past couple of weeks, hopefully I can get some more shoots lined up soon. I'm looking to shoot cigar bar owners here in town.
