JIA-CHI

Took some production stills for LaMuff’s new music video for “Gold Lamé”.  As you can imagine, everything was gold.  Even the bagels.

LaMuff’s Monica Howe is a fellow Echo Park Time Bank member, who contacted me to help her out, in exchange for time dollars.  Cha-ching!  The shoot took place at Bar 1642, which is owned by fellow time bank member, Liz!

Right before Monica poured gold paint on herself.  Glorious.

Then biked over to West Hollywood to visit the Schindler/Kings Road House by Rudolph Schindler.  One of the architectural gems of LA.

Then Red Lined it back to Downtown LA for a birthday celebration in honor of Justice Laub at the Bona Vista Lounge on top of the Westin Bonaventure hotel.  You can’t tell from this photo, but trust me when i say that the lounge rotates.  Really.  Slowly.

Had the pleasure of working with my good friend Jill Aiko Yee for her ITtERATIONS WORKWEAR line.  Shot 2 coats and 6 accessories with Ms. Jessica Mauricio. Here are some behind the scenes shots.  Follow Jill’s website for the official photos.

It’s a new name for a new geologic epoch—one defined by our own massive impact on the planet. That mark will endure in the geologic record long after our cities have crumbled.
