An Evening with "Bettie Page"

On Saturday, December 6, 2014, Pin-Ups For Vets presented an evening with "Bettie Page" at the Crest Theater in Westwood. The evening included a fashion show by vintage inspired clothing company Voodoo Vixen, Bettie Page Inspired Burlesque, and a special screening of "Bettie Page Reveals All" at the The Crest Theater!

I was lucky enough to be able to grab some still photography of the event!

Took some great kitty shots during a recent night shoot for the YouTube channel Spicy Llamas!  Copy Cat Talent is the second comedy project for the channel Spicy Llamas that focuses on a talent agency decides represent kittens instead of actors!

The stars of the night were some 3 month old kittens that are up for adoption through Kitten Rescue.  Kitten Rescue, a Los Angeles-based organization, rescues cats and kittens from shelter euthanasia and abandonment, providing care until they are adopted.   

All of these kitties are ADOPTABLE so please help promote to get these critters some homes!

"Obvious" Becomes Less and Less Obvious As You Begin to Study the Universe

Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.

--Buckminster Fuller

Caught one of the small town local cemeteries at sunset the other day.   Here's a few choice pics from the shoot!

I had the pleasure of being hired to shoot Exxon's President Darren Woods at the Naming Ceremony of their new tanker Liberty Bay.  Here are some awesome shots from that day!

It Takes Courage

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

Some photos that I took when I was Hawai'i a few months ago working on an organic heritage chicken farm.  Who knew chickens could strike such dramatic poses?

Be Yourself; Everyone Else is Already Taken.

Here are some pics of the Surf City Yacht Club's (that my mother Letty Thomas is the manager) Wedding Roadshow that I helped out at last week.  From mini crabcakes and fig bites to beautiful seashell cakes to awesome flower arrangements it was a super stupendous success!
