tan twins

i cannot wait to get a new president!! i know thats not the answer for everything but this economy is a mess. i was up for a substantial microsoft project and the whole thing got killed. this seems like more of the norm these days. i can't tell you how many times that has happened this year. much more than previous years. clients pulling the plug at the last minute to cut costs. oh well, thats life and i'm in it for the long haul. i have a disease where i expect to be busy at all times. i'm sure you've heard of it. the funny thing is that if i was slammed right now with work i would've been screwed at my house. since my fiance kate has moved in we've been in construction mode. must have bigger closet now. she got a custom closet and i got a custom garage. its great. plenty of space for my 10 helmets, 2 (soon to be 3) motorcycles, 2 surfboards, 4 bicycles, 10 skateboards and plenty of power tools. god bless the garage. i haven't actually been dead. work has been consistent and i've been working on a book project and new promo stuff. a couple of weeks ago i shot the cast of this new indy doc called "american teen" for entertainment weekly. great kids. very humble. that is actually in the current issue with lauren conrad on the cover. ew also had me shoot fred durst last week. he's directing now and i know what you are thinking. he is actually a really cool dude. i think his kids changed his outlook on life and decided he shouldn't be just doing it for the nookie. look for that in the next couple of issues. you'll be surprised to when you see him. a couple of days ago i shot dean and dan of dsquared for details. these guys are a riot. lots of energy and shall i say, joy? it was definitely the first time i've shot gay twins. they were great subjects. bring on the twins!!!!
