i’m currently working on a book of celebrity photographs taken during the past couple of years living in los angeles which is molto exciting. over the next few months as awards season prepares to heat up, get set for an awe-inspiring onslaught of fleeting moments captured upon (and beyond) the red carpet. just sayin’..

**this is why i love it when europeans come to town: you can always note the difference in their eyes and their smiles compared to hollywood folks. there’s a whole lotta love and happiness shining from farida and christian and i dig it!! love, love, love these two.

yesterday i finally got around to seeing a show that had been sparking my curiosity ever since it opened several months ago. needless to say, ON BEAUTY at the annenberg center for photography in los angeles didn’t disappoint. if you’re in the city of angels you have until november 27th to see it. its mindboggling in countless ways: from america’s obsessive perception of what beauty is, to the various ways in which the myths associated with it continue to evolve. special shout-outs to albert watson and tyen for the incredible photography. nuff said..go see it. recommended viewing.
