LEO


                                  


About every 4-8 months I end up on this weeklong job with Leo.  It proves to be exhausting, hilarious, aggravating and usually unhealthy.
The job is an ad campaign that Kai Regan shoots.  I am one of the photo assistants usually along with James Stone. They higher Leo for his superb dj skills.
I usually run into Leo once in a blue moon and drink a beer with him. I never spend this much time with him consecutively.   These jobs are breakfast, lunch and dinner situations.  Quite honestly Leo is a royal piece of work and I often forget that when we are not getting through hours on this particular campaign.

We always get to talking about something ridiculous or more so how ridiculous we all are.   This time we examined our lives versus those that don’t have these abnormal career paths.   We agreed that explaining this lifestyle to other folks that aren’t experiencing it themselves is usually an exercise in futility and we often forget that what we're doing is not fucking normal.


             

 This week Leo had a little punctuality dilemma a couple of days in a row and I was sent to his neighborhood to guess which apartment he lived in and bring him to the studio.  So the first day I marched to where I was told he might live and proceeded to mash every button on the buzzer pad until I was buzzed in.  The door opened immediately so I walked in and people began hanging their heads out asking who the hell I was.  One guy actually gave me some help and told me where Leo lived.  Anyhow I banged on his door and it swung open. His little dog Bez with his bottom fangs protruding into an astonishingly jacked but amazing smile stood there wagging his tail. Leo grunted a couple of times and became a little worried and then completely wrought with guilt but then began laughing uncontrollably.
 Well we showed up and Leo got a presidential welcoming by way of "GOOD MORNING LEO!!!!!" from the whole crew.


At the end of the shoot I took Leo aside into this bathroom that is one of the best I have ever seen. I took a bunch of pictures of him while he broke down for me who that guy Divendra Bernsomething is and why I see him everywhere.










A conversation with him is always a good listen.   The best is when he's explaining his views on something that he seems as completely moronic. That’s when you get some grade A Leo.


              

This is the shower im saving up for. It's the human carwash.
