Time for the vacation blog!
LA was simply amazing!
Silvi and I road tripped it from Santa Cruz all the way down to the O.C. to visit Sweetheart. Now one thing about me though is that when I vacation, I always work at the same time, in fact my vacations are more work than my normal daily life haha, and this trip wasn't going to be any exception. The thing about my work though is that it's OH SO FUN.
I had been talking to Rambo about shooting and said since I was going to be in town over the weekend we definitely should take advantage. However what I didn't know at first was that Suicidegirls was also throwing this lingerie fashion benefit show for undershare.org, so while she wanted to shoot didn't really know how much time she could dedicate to shooting, but we finally figured out that we were going to shoot on Friday night and much to my happiness she also told me that Sash wanted to shoot as well and that Liquidscience was also going to be there to shoot and lend the use of his equipment. This was all SUPERB news to me because I have always been a big fan of both of them, Sash is a big reason why I started even checking out Suicidegirls again, i saw her stuff with Cymagen on flickr and was just hooked on her looks. Liquidscience is an awesome photographer and videographer/editor i mean i'm sure most of you have seen the Radeo & Sash video, thats one steamy piece of video I tell you what. Anyway I'm superbly excited for this all to happen.
Anyway the night before i'm talking with Rambo online and tell her i'm heading down with Silvi. Rambo tells me that she told Missy that Silvi was coming and Missy knowing of Silvi's epic AQUAMATRIX set immediately wanted to know if Silvi wanted to be in SG's Ink and Undies Fashion show. After some very minor convincing Silvi agreed to be part of it and the weekend was booked!
The first day we got to OC, sweetheart was at work so we decided to check out the Getty museum. The place is pretty awesome and i brought my camera... unfortunately i didn't bring a CF card. d'oh! sooo no pictures from that.
the next day though we went straight to Hollywood, sat in traffic, checked out Amoeba Records, got a parking ticket and headed off to SG headquarters so Silvi could have her fitting for lingerie done.
Heres Rambo, Silvi, and Missy doing the weekly video blog
and heres the actual video blog
after that we hung out in hollywood waiting for Rambo to get off work so we could go shoot.
Her and Sash wanted to do this whole "messy makeup out at clubs tough girl shoot" so liquidscience and i talked nerdy photography stuff, setup the lights, and shot. here are the shots so far... i think they're pretty damn spectacular! So I give to you a Liquidscience/DarrylDarko joint collaboration shoot.
we did two setups
anyway i'm STILL going through these and picking out some prime shots, so keep an eye out on my
Flickr and my Facebook page for these shots! Theres some awesome stuff in it!
ok now the SG ink n undies fashion show.
If I EVER wanted the LA experience trip this certainly was the BEST way to top it all off
Heres just a few pictures to get the feel of it. If you want to see more check them out here:
CLEEEK
SGs in attendance were:
Coley, Milloux, Silvi, Carrina, Reagan, Annika, Sash, Rambo, LaneyChantal, and Antigone.
half the fun at looking at these pictures is the expressions on some of the people in the backgrounds faces! Especially in one of the shots with Reagan, you'll know what i'm talking about when you see it.
