TEAM MEXICO '08
august 6th means spanky's birthday in mexico.
i borrowed a pretty cool camera from ted at milk studios but i think it
is the exact one that they lend to wildman when ever he needs one.
so it seemed to make perfect sense that it broke in the first 24
hours of my journey so my pickin's are slim. only two rolls. but
here's what i got.
josh is one of the best photographers i know but i aint borrowin
another damn thing he already got his hands on.
i met up with todd to take the train to jfk. i had never done
this before and i might not ever do it again.
we must have spent too much time trying to remember jimmy buffet lyrics
because we kept dropping the ball and ended up on about 6 different
trains backtracking to stops we missed and then had to take two busses.
it took about two hours and we damn near missed our
jetblue! but the excessive train ride gave me time to learn how
to use the Wildrig i had borrowed.
my first photo with it. fuckin avedon shit son.
the night we landed in la i blacked out. i didnt even drink but i have
no idea what we did. all i know is i had to get up early to handle some
work stuff and then we jumped in the van to drive to mexico.
these dudes road behind me. todd, corey, curtis, and steve
lee.
todd was reading the koran behind me. word is life. true being.
nahhh son, he was readin harry potter!
curtis ted and todd, all hyped'er than fuck on the fire place.
the first time i remember speaking to ako at length was in this
bar in la named el scorpion. we had met once or twice before in new
york but nothing more than a brief introduction. anyway in
this bar about 2 or maybe 3 years ago he rolls up to me and asks "hey
man! whats up with you?"
i barely had time to say"nothing much, i just got back
from......."before he imediatly cuts me off to exclaim
"dude, yeah im single again and im trying to raaaaaage! LET'S DO A
SHOT!"
we've been best friends since then.
easily one of my favorite people
easily one and a half of my favorite people.
