The Bees are Back
Charlotte, NC
The other day, I was stung in the eye while on set and rushed to urgent care. A piece of the bee's leg had to be removed from under my eyelid.

Reminded me of those carefree last beekeeper days
Ghetto Ballet on HBO
Guguletu, South Africa
HBO is premiering my short doc "Ghetto Ballet" in December. Stay tuned for more info....
The Soul(less) Train
Atlanta, GA
My DP is a curmudgeon. Hard wired for negativity... which is sometimes amusing, but more often a bore.
But recently, things changed. He fell in love. Fell hard and fast and 3 weeks after meeting his lovely lady (who I adore), they toured the mediterranean and got engaged. As a result, his entire pessimistic world view has crumbled around him - which of course makes him a much more interesting person to be around.
Its been a couple months now. And, I have gone from thinking I should never work with him again, to really liking the guy. He's a little bit crazy (obviously). He's a pessimist trapped in an optimistic situation. He's conflicted and in love and a little bit of a mess. He wants to embrace the sappiness but can't totally allow that. Every other word is still "fuck" - but its "fuck" with a half smile. Cause he's half - happy.
So tonight, while we were lining the red carpet, jockeying with hundreds of others for a shot no one really cared about, I knew he just wanted to get back to the room to call her. Normally, that would upset me, but not now. I believe that passion actually makes his work better. He is more present and more alive. He does a great job, has a great eye, and so what if he is counting the minutes till his next phone call. He's in love and I like to be around that. It's a beautiful thing.
Here he is on set before the Soul Train Music Awards (yep - they're back)
One Day in LA
Los Angeles, CA
This shot was taken at 5am over Hyperion Blvd, as I wandered the streets after a sleepless night on a 24 hour layover in LA. This really is the time of day when I like LA most.
It seems like Im always having to search for things to like about LA... (which is another thing I like about LA)
