Well, my ears are ringing this morning. Getting too old to rock and roll, I guess. We went to go see Suburban Legends, Patent Pending, Zolof The Rock And Roll Destroyer, and some other band at the Anaheim HOB last night. It was the album release show for SL’s new disk – Infectious. Suburban Legends [...]
So I just finished another video tutorial for the Totally Rad Action Mix – this time I focused on how you can combine multiple actions in one photo to customize the look that you get. There are some other tidbits in there as well on how to make the best use of them. If you [...]
Last night we went to the fair with some of our friends… you can read about most of our escapades on Chenin’s Blog, but I wanted to post some random photos from the Rollei. Oh, and if someone ever offers you a raspberry-filled Krispy Kreme chicken sandwich… tell them no thanks. And one from the [...]
Just wanted to write a quick note to say that Ticketmaster is evil, and that they are helping to kill live music, all the while lining their pockets with our money. I think it’s a horrible injustice that many of the bands that I like to see have to hold down part-time jobs half the [...]
So this is sort of a regular feature from the Boutwell Studio Blog – but now that I’m posting over here, my eclectic taste in music has a new home… Anyway, here are four albums that I really like, that you probably haven’t heard of, because I don’t think they ever even got within pissing [...]
So today I shot some beauty stuff at home with Reanna Martinez (from the shoot in the woods last week). I also almost made it through Puzzle Bobble on one credit, but got lazy and screwed it up around level 22 or so. Oh, and the surf’s gonna be a bit better for the next [...]
Jessica Claire got one year older yesterday. She’s 23 again! For the 5th year running! Hooray! ;) Got to spend some time with her and Becker at La Fondue in San Juan Capistrano, which is an awesome restaurant. It looks like a band of baroque homosexuals were let loose inside a Laura Ashwell-decorated 1800s mansion, [...]
So last Monday, before the previous blog post, I shot Erika down in Laguna Beach. Pelinda did the wardrobe, and Alex stepped in at the last minute to do makeup… been waiting for this one for a while, because I really wanted to work with Erika. We already had to cancel and reschedule once, and [...]
Had a portfolio shoot yesterday with Reanna Martinez. The excellent Jillian Gunlicks did the makeup, and Jeffrey Lawler came along to assist. I don’t think anyone knew what I was getting them into when they agreed to come along. We basically drove way the hell back into the canyons to find some nature that didn’t [...]
Hey – if there’s anyone out there who wants to tag along on a portfolio fashion shoot today and help with lighting, gear, etc… let me know. No pay, but hopefully some fun experience. I was going to try to use available light for the shoot, but it looks like the sun isn’t going to [...]
Okay, so I’m back from Fiji, and I haven’t slept right in like a week. I was living in The Future for almost a week (we crossed the Date Line on the way over there, so even though it’s only a 5 hour time difference, we magically were transported into tomorrow for 6 days), and [...]
Just a quick note to say I’ll be out of town until July 10 for our wedding in Fiji. I won’t have any email or internet access while I’m there, so if you need to get a hold of me, tough luck! xoxo, -db
