Photo shoots are always the best when they turn into little adventures…and today was no exception.
I shot again with Laura and Ennis and we set out on an urban adventure. First, I took them to my secret graffiti spot…only to find out it had been painted over. Ennis told me he’d been there within the past week, so this was a recent development. I was pretty bummed. But we shot there anyway. In an effort to be creative, we tried out our acrobatic skills. Laura is pretty talented at climbing fences in heels. I was pretty impressed. Everything was going fine and dandy until some dick scared the crap out of us and told us to get lost. Granted, we were sort of shooting on his crappy fire escape (and I use the word “crappy” very literally), but geez, lighten up, bro. Ennis’s attempt at friendliness was thwarted by this jerk’s massive attitude problem. So we promptly packed up and left, all the while listening to this guy’s tirade and lecture on “professional” photography. Dude, perhaps if you lightened up and had more fun, you would enjoy what you do…and you would be living in a slightly better place instead of the crap heap we were shooting at.
Granted, it makes a cool backdrop for a photo shoot…but the only reason we were shooting there was because it looked grungy and gross. Get a clue, buddy.
Anyway, I was slightly miffed…but only slightly, since we got some great shots of Laura. I’ll post some from that part of the day a little later…
The majority of the rest of our time was spent driving around in circles and in massive traffic to our next location. But once we got there, we had a great time. Here are some samples…
Ennis was definitely the most acrobatic today…
Anyway, it was a fun weekend with Laura and crew…definitely good times.
And now that my eyes are burning and I’m really tired, I think I’m going to get to bed now. More later!
