New Work: After the storm
So happy to be back!
I have been so busy lately producing my friend Blake’s first film, that I’ve barely had time to turn around, let alone do personal shoots. It’s been a very exciting and challenging endeavor, as you can imagine, and while I don’t aspire to be a producer by any stretch, I consider it priceless education for me in terms of making my own films. I’ve gained so much knowledge about the business of filmmaking and how to organize and lead people- something you don’t tend to get a lot of experience doing when you are shooting self-portraits!
At the same time, I’ve been hungering to get back to my selfies. So when the clouds rolled into LA the other day, I knew I had to take full advantage. I chased the clouds all the way Agua Dolce and found the perfect spot, just beyond the ‘No Trespassing’ sign. (All the best locations are always just beyond a ‘No Trespassing’ sign, I’ve decided.) I wanted to do just a simple, straight-forward photo of how I was feeling that day. Every now and then, it’s nice to just create just for the sake of expressing a feeling, rather than trying to convey some deep thought-provoking concept. 🙂
