The final location shooting days of "Sunshine Dreamer" would be for the night time scenes only. After that, it would be soundstages only. Each night, we'd ride over in the crew van, wide awake and ready for action. Then we'd be waiting around most of the night which made sleep all the more tempting, and hard to fight. So my body clock was really thrown off b...
The Triple Threat Tour continued its trek west. We were now headed towards Chicago for 2 nights at the United Center. The shows had really found their groove and we were running like a well-oiled machine. Chris and I were getting great shots everywhere. Rhianna and Tigress turned out to be better clients than we ever dreamed. We had complete access to their...
Before he was "Hollywood Jim" in Los Angeles, he was a geeky kid with a funny nickname in the Connecticut suburbs . And before he had numerous starlets as friends, he had various girlfriends. Here then are the "Adventures of Hollywood Jim-The Early Years" This dream night with Kelly and Rose was only getting better. I had just exploded thanks to Kelly's...
Amidst all that had happened in the wake of the O'Brien case, I'd somehow kept up with company business. Chuck Tyler, my boss at Artists Unlimited, had always been beyond understanding and he'd been letting me pick and choose whatever assignments I wanted. But I felt I owed it to him it to him to do a shoot with one of the company's prestige client's, Tigres...
"You want me to go where?" I asked Chris wearily. "Calabasas." He replied. "And for what?" I responded. "I need you to deliver some paperwork to this address. They need to sign for it and approve the content." He explained, quickly adding "Hey, I'd go there myself, but my accountant is coming over and this is the only night he has free and our tax return...
Jeff Murphy's proposition presented me with a quandary of the highest degree. Option one was leave The Morrison Group and return to Artists Unlimited, in a much more controlling position than I ever could've imagined. And with Jeff Murphy effectively revive a company that to the outside world, that is the entertainment world, appeared to be dead and buried...
By now, Chris and I had seen our share of good photo projects (Paris) and bad (Rhianna, although in the end it worked out OK, but better for me) and now we got one that would fall in between the two. Chris got an assignment to do tour photos for an up and coming female duo called Tigress. They seemed to me like a 2 girl version of the Pussycat Dolls. But com...
Author's note-Thanks again for your patience! Chuck Tyler sat back on the couch in my office and looked through the photo sheets of my recent work. It was rare for him to be in my office this late in the day, and on a Friday, no less. "Hollywood...if I haven't said it before, I will say it now." He said idly before looking up at me as I sat at my desk c...
The new studio was everything we could ask for. It became a sort of clubhouse for the growing circle of friends we'd accumulated. With the bowling alley, we had a guaranteed time-killer when things were slow. And Chris and I found an old jukebox at a flea market that an electronics whiz-kid friend restored to play CD's, giving the place even more of a retro-...
It was well after midnight, and my condo was beautifully quiet. Even Smokie the cat was asleep. Lying in my king-size bed, a lovely lady curled up beside me. The curve of the bed sheets showed she was naked underneath, as was I. The lady was Blake Lively, she looked so beautiful in slumber. The evening had been special, but then any evening with her was al...
