The Happy Hooligan
He is known as “Brother Andy” and is one of the most creative hilarious people I know. Almost a complete one man show, Andy produces these short films with no money, older simple equipment and in the smallest spaces. Over 100 of them now, they are some of the funniest and most entertaining movies you will ever see. Totally addictive and here and there you might even get offended now and then. Visit and keep going back; I do! https://brotherandy.wixsite.com/thehappyhooligan
Not AI
I might try out and explore AI, but when I take a camera with me, it is my 1950’s Leica IIIf film camera.

More Real Than Real
Capitol Records On Film
When back in Los Angeles for photo projects, if I needed to be in the Hollywood area, I would sometimes stay across the street at the Redbury Hotel.
Beautiful Face
For the past months I have been working on my photo archives. Organizing, uploading to my searchable archive accessed through my website, uploading to my agencies for editorial and stock.
As I go through these photographs I thought I might share some at random, regardless of a theme or type. I have shot many genres. So here, a beautiful face. From March 2004 at a hotel in Irvine California. The camera was a Canon 1V, an all time favorite of mine, Kodak film and only natural light.
Love This Film Look!
I just love this old film look of this Drambuie commercial. Looks like this are why I keep gravitating back to shooting film in my photo shoots.
“TBT” Shooting Film
“TBT” “Throw Back Thursday”. For a photographer that means when we were photographing everything on film. Like this bodybuilding show photograph I shot in a medium format Mamiya camera on Kodak Professional film. The film was processed and scanned at The Icon Los Angeles. The thing I really like about film like in this photograph is the completely realistic skin tones. Also the shadows and highlights filled with detail. I still like shooting film.
Maybe I Should Be Wearing…
Maybe I should be wearing a tie and jacket when I do my photo shoots? A suit or tuxedo perhaps?
So Who Is Next?
It can be so very simple… It just takes one of my cameras, some film and one of the many settings in my “studio”. And someone to photograph. In this case it was Brad Gwinn. So who is next? You perhaps?
And The Credits Go to…
Professional model, actress and writer Maria Bertrand. Makeup and Hair Styling by Natalie Lyle. Photography by me.
Ok more for fun; Camera by Mamiya Leaf USA, film by Kodak Professional, lighting by the Sun (not a company, actual sunlight), processing and scanning by The Icon Los Angeles.
