This shot is still one of my favorites, and it's from Day 1 at WB. Scabs may not pass.

Earlier this week I went to go take photos of DGA leadership at the picket line. They arrived at 10, I arrived at 10:15. When I asked for a quick group photo, their comms person said no because they had just done some and were "exhausted." Yes, *they're* exhausted.
@stevendeknight
To the naked eye, after the DGA ratification, where did the leadership go? THR even made requests for interviews on the deal & all said no.
It's like making the game-winning shot & the whole team just runs straight onto the bus, which goes straight to the plane which disappears.

My goal post-strike is to do a nice fancy photo book as a fundraiser for the Entertainment Community Fund. Lots to figure out to make that happen (since I'll have no idea what I'm doing), but I will keep everyone updated. For now, I'm still catching up on photos 😭
I feel like

Proud to have helped organize today's "Stunts Strike Back" picket w/over 200 stunt picketers at WB and love hearing everyone getting hyped over the 60+ motorcycle brigade that hit all the diff lots thru out LA. ✊️ Stunts got your back!

Oh lord, I'm just overwhelmed at the kindness you all have shown me. Thank you, friends. It truly means a lot. I realized, embarrassingly, that I've barely expressed the fact that directing is as much a passion and goal as writing and photography. I *love* working on set.
We should all be reading something by

The both sides nonsense again? One side is an entire industry of human beings who need to live (not just survive) and have a good, sustainable career. The other side is a handful of self-satisfied, destructive rich people who see lives and artistic expression as costs to be cut.

LA book friends: this *absolutely amazing* bookstore is closing this Saturday. I'm really bummed about it, but I would be remiss if I didn't signal-boosting their closing sale. Most of their books are 75% off and they still have one hell of a selection. Open Fri/Sat 11-4.
Bargain Books in Van Nuys will be closing on July 8th after 60+ years. There is currently a 75% sale on most of the books. Open Fridays & Saturdays. Check them out while you still can!
