My new thing/Amazing person of the week

The other day while flipping thru old photography books, I started thinking about all of the talented friends I have... surfers, photographers, bookers, painters, etc. and how lucky I am to be surrounded by such amazing people. I've decided that each week I'm going to photograph, write and post about every one of these people (well, time permitting!). So, without further delay let me introduce you to my first entry, my friend Roxy...
the mysterious Roxy

Roxanne Saffaie is a super talented makeup artist and a damn good surfer, too. We met a couple years ago and I am soooo glad we did. We've already done some amazing shoots together and have since become great friends. Without Roxy, I wouldn't have met my friends Rochelle & Keala and experienced all of the aloha that the North shore offered me.
There's a warmth to Roxy that only a Hawaii girl can posses. But... she's also an LA girl, a New Yorker & a Euro all rolled into one. Ask any of the other photographers she works with and they'd agree... she knows makeup. She also has some unique tricks up her sleeve (oxygen treatments, etc.).

check out her website when you have time...

KEKE

Loved shooting her...


Pawwwwty...

This past week Courtney a.k.a. "Skiba" a.k.a. Sharapova invited Steph, Lexi and yours truly to the Star Magazine party in Hollywood. Good band, open bar & a rainy Hollywood night... just what the doctor ordered. Oh, and we had photo booth fun too. Yeeow!

MIAMI...

My first trip to Miami was... incredible. Melissa, Jim, David and myself went down there for some location scouting/casting action and ended up having so much fun. I'm not really a 'clubbing' kind of guy so, we didn't do the wild in south beach routine. This trip was about warm water, friends, and sunshine (well, some sunshine).
By random chance, my friend Emilee just happened to be in town at the time. I haven't seen her in years so, it was really nice to catch up with her on a white sand beach.
One night, the Delia's crew & I went to Prime 112 where we had the best steaks ever. Seriously, the best steak I've ever had. Now that I think about it, every meal we had was insane.
The drive down to the keys was beautiful. We were stuck in the car for hours and I think we laughed until we cried the whole way. I came home to LA and couldn't help but think how lucky I am... to have a job I love so much, to work with people that have become my friends and whom I adore. There's a lot to be thankful for.

Ok... no more sappyness!

Crazy clouds in the Keys...
lonely dock
Miami... a view from the water.
"Hi, room service? Yes, I'd like a gigantic cookie. Thanks so much."
The Miami shoe choice...
Emilee in a never ending sea...
She wears her love on her sleeve.
The Keys...
Why does this remind me of 'Eternal Sunshine'?
South Florida biker gang. Check his crocs... sexual!
Relaxed much?
Tree sitting with Da boys...
Stoked at the Delia's store.
The infamous dinner... see how hard I'm loving my steak? yeeow!
Janice & Jim hadn't had cake in years...
Bridges in Florida are full of surprises!
Fishing is radical!
Cast away
One of my faves from the casting.
I checked the weather based on the models hair. This day, the wind was howling from the east.
I took up modeling in Miami... for 5 seconds. Blue steel...
We'd like to leave you with some shared Key Lime Pie. mmmmm....
