Interests, ya ask? Hmmm- well, going to movies or watching our buddies bands play, dinner and drinks with good friends, DVDs on a day off/rainy day, and cooking breakfast in the morning for Amy- the gal who won my heart! Love all things 'Old Hollywood'- the long lost Golden Age of Tinseltown from the 1920's right through the 40's;Living here it's almost impossible NOT to imagine our town during such a time- such music, style, and haunting beauty that still lingers in the air (along with craploads of smog!) For this reason I've devoted alot of time searching and photographing famous homes, landmarks, and locations that are really not on the map anymore, or even cease exsist for that matter- a kind of "Ghostly Documentation" if you will.It's for these reasons I also feel very lucky working in these enviornments when part of a film crew- ALWAYS a variety bag of settings, situations, beauty, boredom, stress, excitement, and most of all, fun. Oh yeah, and like most folks, I REALLY enjoy a good 'ol Western Whip Fight!...*Me & Steve Guttenberg (Remember Cocoon, 3 Men & A Baby, & all those Police Academy films?)...*Juuuuuuust after we captured The Mighty Kong!
