Puppies and the Gay Massuese

In the words of the New Year's text of the great Aly Parker, "DK Photo is SO HOT in '07!"

And it is true.

The beginning of '07 has seen my business expanding in all different directions.

Pet Photography...




...and Gay Masseuses.

Yes, a couple weeks ago I received an inquiry into doing headshots and "sexier pictures" for a masseur's webpage. Business was already going pretty well for him with his current kinda-crappy pictures, but he thought if he got hot new ones his business would double. (He makes $150 per session, an extra $300 for a "happy ending", and claims to average about $6000 a week)

We met. He seemed nice enough. Weird. Kinda Croatian-ish. Really annoying accent and personality. We shook hands. I quickly excused myself to wash mine. And then we took some photos.

He was hardly the hottest man I have ever seen. And the pictures were hardly the best pictures I've ever taken...



But for some reason he loved them.

So much so that he felt the need to run tip me.

And tip me.

And tip me.

Basically he just handed me a white envelope.



And I think it contained everything he had made today (about $1200).



I love my job and the crazies I'm proud to call my clients.

Children of Men

It's an f-ing incredible movie.

It takes place in a world about twenty years from now that has gone to shit. Violence, disease, and death are everywhere; all women across the globe have become infertile. The world's youngest citizen, an 18-year-old boy, has just been murdered, and humans are on the verge of extinction.

Set against a backdrop of London torn apart by violence and warring nationalistic sects, the world this movie creates is stunningly real and scarily believable.

Also the climax of the film features the longest, most unbelievablely awesome steadicam shot I have ever seen in my life.



Much better than Dreamgirls.

And also less singing.

Travel Dates!

NYC - Feb 13-20



Hong Kong - March 8-21



Woooweeee!

Turban!

Which of the Apprentice hotties are going to hook up tonight?

Will Tim Urban be this season's Apprentice?

And more importantly, will Turban's picture boost DK HEADSHOT business in the 1st quarter of 2007?



The answer to all of the above: I sure as hell hope so.

(Except question 1)

YATTTAAAA!!!!

Last night Narns and I attended a BUEG (Brown Entertainment Group) Conversation hosted by Masi (of Heroes fame).



The funny thing is, he actually used to organize these things (the last one he organized was the one with John Krasinski from The Office) and he'd be the guy doing all the Q&A...but now that he's famous, he gets his own Conversation.

Weird how that works out.

.................

I want to host one.

Soon.

More WoW porn.

Michael Tan joining WoW might be one of the greatest events of 2007.





Kind of terrifying, though, that he joined just recently and I joined back in oh....September?....and already he has out-leveled me.

Michael Tan get a life.

Adam's B'day/Farewell

Said Happy Birthday and Goodbye to Adam who is leaving to film a new season of Road Rules which begins airing at the end of January.

VEGAS!!!

Munish, Dan, and assorted medschool buddies all went to Vegas for the weekend.

We love the Vegas.

We love attempting to win lots of money at the ghetto-est of places.





Also we love the Bellagio fountains.



And are sad every time the show ends.



Ghostbar at the top of the Palms is very cool with a sweet view of everything.



The Monte Carlo Brew Pub has some totally epic giant beer dispensing tube-things.



RumJungle is neat, although less fun with socially awkward medschool buddies who do not like to dance or talk to strangers.



But the dancers are fun to watch.



And the there is the late night wandering with the drunken poker playing and buffets that don't ever close.

Off to Vegas!

Again.

In the continued effort to cure my dry eyes...

today I went for acupuncture...



It was NOT pleasant.

Max's 25th Birthday

Drinks were flowing at James' Beach in Venice Saturday night.

I got there and the girls were already hammered.



The sweet little birthday boy seemed happily intoxicated...




Aly Parker was sporting a new darker 'do....




And before long, things quickly took a turn for the worse.
















It was most fun.

1st '07 Wedding!

Yesterday, Bjoern and I went down to Palos Verdes to shoot the wedding of his headshot clients Allison, a former FHM model, and Dave, a stuntman.

Everyone there was pretty, fun, and really nice.

It's cool to see people who have made a pretty remarkable living doing the more overlooked behind-the-scenes stuff in Hollywood. The groom and his groomsmen were all pretty big-time Hollywood stuntmen. (Dave, the groom, was Brad Pitt's stunt double in Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Fight Club and is currently Matt Damon's double in The Bourne Ultimatum.)

It was a really beautiful setting.




There were cupcakes...



And creepy little children...



And a breathtaking view.



Later there was drinking and dancing and the most delicious wedding food EVER.

Good times had by all.
