Halloween Night at The Abbey in West Hollywood...
I was hired by a promotional company to shoot at The Abbey Food & Bar in West Hollywood on Halloween Night. It was a crazy night with lots of interesting characters out walking the streets. The city blocked off Santa Monica Blvd. and basically turned West Hollywood into a freakshow, block party for the night. Unfortunately, since I was working, I was pretty much confined to The Abbey. However, The Abbey is very "alternative lifestyle" (what a cheeseball term) friendly, so it was a pretty wild scene unto itself. Below, I've posted images of some of the characters I met that night. Keep checking back, because there's still more to come!
Inconspicuously smoking?
Men in Tights!
Does anyone not love a giant Panda?
Disco Dancing Fever!

Nightlife's a blur...
Slow, available light exposures on the dance floor during the Halloween festivities at The Abbey in West Hollywood
More available light photos as people traverse the dance floor
"The Bachelor" in the crowd
Sailors, Cowgirls, and Camels; Oh my!
This is a shot I took of my friend Adam as we were leaving The Bigfoot Lodge on the night we celebrated Yeni's b-day

Trying to catch up...
It's been a crazy couple of months since I moved to L.A. I've been sending resumes out and cold calling photographers like crazy looking for assisting work. Things are starting to look pretty good, but it's hard because I don't know many assistants and most work in this business comes from networking with your peers. I did manage to land a couple of good jobs and it looks like things may pick up over the next few months. It's getting started that's difficult. I've got a few more prospects for assisting work, but since I'm not "known" by anyone it's an uphill battle to get people to try me out. I did pick up an event photography gig on Halloween that has already led to another job this month and looks like it'll be a regular source of income for awhile. I was hired to shoot the Halloween festivities at The Abbey just off Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood. It was a crazy event with lots of interesting characters and I'll be posting images from it soon, so stay tuned. In the mean time, here are a few photos from my girlfriends birthday party last month, hope ya'll enjoy 'em!

For you fellow photo nerds out there, I shot most of these photos with available light and a 1/2 sec. exposure at the fast end, so most of them are pretty blurry. I knew they would be and I actually accentuated a few of them because I've been playing around with a "blurry" pic project. So, I apologize if you get dizzy while viewing this post. On the other hand, maybe it'll help you "feel" like you right there with us... matching us all shot for shot. ;-)
