CULVER CITY CAR SHOW 2010

Sunday I attended the free Culver City Car Show - my favorite local classic car show. It was a bit difficult to get full length photos of the cars (too many people in the way) and honestly, the background would have looked cluttered and ugly anyway. This led me to take photos I love to take anyway - close up, abstract details of cars, trucks, and vans. I absolutely LOVE the vintage fonts on these vehicles. Job-Rated, Hotrod, Apache - way cooler than Accord, Venza, Prius, or some lame brain series of letters and numbers.

And now for some levity - a woman posing with the Green Hornet. Go GRAY HORNET!



These motorcycle helmets are both creepy and creative.

NAUGHTY NURSES, NINJAS BRING YOUR FOOD

CNN.com ran my photo of Hot Dog On A Stick gals in their feature "Naughty nurses, ninjas bring your food."

AN EVENING WITH WOMEN 2010

This past Saturday I photographed An Evening With Women for the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center. I had the best view in the house - front of the stage - for live performances from Heart, Pink, Linda Perry, Sarah Silverman, and Gina Gershon, plus an appearance by Renee Zellweger. I photographed the entire evening with my dreamy and tack sharp Nikon 85mm f/1.4 lens.

Nancy Wilson of Heart




Ann Wilson belts out Barracuda


A heart shaped soundhole on the guitar


Center supporter and Oscar winner Renee Zellweger


Pink and Linda Perry duet


Pink poses with the lucky live auction winner who bid $12,000 for this Vespa autographed by Pink (who also rode it onstage).


Pink being a badass - making the most of her props - the Vespa, a wine glass, and cigarette smoke. My favorite photo from the night.


I love Pink's new natural look - she's so beautiful and talented.


Hostess Gina Gershon. She performed two songs, What's New Pussycat and Is That All There Is?


I think this is a move leftover from the Goddess routine in Showgirls




Sarah Silverman - possibly the funniest Jewess on the planet.


Gina recalling another Showgirls scene (remember Cristal wanting a manicure from Nomi before deciding she's too old for the "whorey look"


Cherie Currie posing with her son. Cherie was a teen rock goddess in The Runaways and now she's a chainsaw artist!


The great and powerful Jean - Lorri L. Jean - CEO of the Center. Love her!
