Hello! I am feeling very energetic on this lovely Saturday.  A few reasons for this joy - 1) I had a great headshots session with a friend this morning in Venice, 2) It's a 3 day weekend, and 3) The TIWWI Show + Tell is TONIGHT!

You may remember me dicussing TIWWI (pronounced "tee-wee") back when I posted stills from Jen's movie, "I'll Call You."  TIWWI is essentially a co-op of people who like to create things - movies, photo projects, poems, whatever.  We collaborate with one another, work on projects, and then present our creations at a Show + Tell.  The Show + Tell is always so much fun! There is music, an open bar, photo charades, and of course, the screenings. I'm especially excited for tonight's Show + Tell because we are screening a project I helped work on.  Jessica Kucinskas, Lauren Randolph, and myself collaborated on a photo flip book adventure called "Seafishing."  It was the first time I ever did stop-motion animation photography, and it was an amazing learning experience.  Here are a couple of stills as a teaser...I'll post a video of our project after tonight's screening!

Lauren (www.photolauren.com) photographed the first half of the project and this awesome still:

I photographed the second half, shot from above:

Megan Roy is no stranger to this blog.  She has made many great appearances (such as here, here, or here), but never before has she had a post dedicated strictly to her.  Well, the time has come! Megan recently left Los Angeles and made a move back to the east coast. Before she left, I asked if I could photograph her in her favorite place in LA - Griffith Park - with her acoustic guitar.  Being the awesome friend/model that she is, Megan was more than willing to drag her guitar on a hike and let me photograph her for as long as I wanted. These pictures are very dear to me.  Megan is such a gorgeous person, both inside and out, and I think that shines through in these images. Without further adieu:
