Photo Shoot

Recently I had the luxury, pleasure, and amazing experience of working with the very talented Michael Connors. I was introduced to Michael through my friend Jamie Crowley. Jamie runs La Folia Recordings, and is releasing a tune I made earlier this year. However, she needed some high res pics and a bio. I didn't have either and never really thought about them too much. So she called upon her good friend Michael to do a few shots. We kept it simple. Michael rolled over to my pad and set up his camera with all the bells and whistles. I was truly amazed at the end result and I wanted to share some of these great pics with you, check them out. If you like what you see you can reach Michael through the following links:

Last Days

I also made two very important stops while in Los Angeles, the first was at Amoeba Records on Sunset. After cutting down my record pile three or four times I finally approached the register. And let me tell you my wallet was not impressed.

Then of course after a long day of driving and sightseeing I needed to eat so I hit the one and only In N Out Burger for a quick pick me up. My friend ordered me a burger "animal style" what that means I have no idea. I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce (I think there was mayo in it and I hate mayo), but next time I'm there I'm trying it straight up.

Santa Monica Pier

My last day in LA was well spent driving around and seeing some beautiful places like the Santa Monica Pier. Man I could definitely get used to waking up to this place every day. The one thing I didn't get a shot of was the sign that had fallen over which said "no swimming due to high levels of bacteria." And of course I see it right after I put my hands in the water, oh the irony!

The Getty

So my last day in Los Angeles was quite a busy one. I rented a car and linked up with my homie Inanna. She runs La Folia Recordings and has been a wonderful friend since I first met her. So after picking her up we shot over to the Getty for a very abridged tour. It was truly amazing, beautiful, and spectacular. I highly recommend you stop by and check it out if you have the chance.

Chicken & Waffles

You're damn right I did it. Potatoes with gravy, scrambled eggs and a waffle.

Hello Los Angeles

So I arrived in LA on Weds afternoon and the weather was beautiful. After meeting up with my friends we decided to hit LIttle Tokyo for dinner and on our way we saw these ridiculous cellphone holders.

Then we hit this little spot called Daikokuya where I had this massive ramen with rice and chicken. Shit was no joke.

And to end on a classy note this was posted up in the bathroom.

Side Note

A small note to self; remember next time you're on the Santa Cruz boardwalk that it's not okay to carry roller skates while you're skate boarding.
