This is Oliver's brother in law Brandon Olimpiada (mm#3103). Last night (4/11/2009) around 7:00 my brother had a seizure during a photo shoot. Beforehand he was complaining about a headache. There was a rupture of the blood vessel located in the back of his neck. The bleeding eventually reached to his brain and doctor believes that he was already passing by the time he reached UCSF hospital. and according to the doctor, since it happened so suddenly he most likely did not suffer.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, God Bless. I know my brother is in a much better place now and if anything, he left this world doing what he loves to do the most in this world --- taking photos.

TFP, no TFP, TFCD, etc. One way or another, someone's got to pay.
I like to explore, stylistically speaking. dirty lil polaroids, naturally lit candids, overconceptualized editorials, PS'd monstrosities, etc. etc. So keep in mind, if you want to shoot with me, unless you're payin my rates, you get whatcha get.
Five Deadly Venoms is back in full swing dammit. Now accepting applications for Hero characters, background characters, stylists, MUAs, etc.
Since I don't have any polaroid film anymore, I'm a bit addicted to Poladroid. So anybody that wants to take faux polaroid shots, I'm all over.
amazing work! you have definitely left your mark in this world. RIP

I'm sure you were there watching. Malaya and Kyson love the new place esp. the pool. Wish you were there to laugh with us. I'm setting up the office/mini-studio and taking a quick break. We all miss you!

dear ollie,
plz 2 be hauntin' peeps that are still tagging yous on this here model mayhem with ignorant messages that imply that they are too dum(?) to realize you are no longer here (i.e. "let's get together," "let's shoot soon," "would love to see more photos," etc.)
on that note, COME HAUNT ME, FOOL! i fucking miss the shit out of you. i hope where ever you may be, they have internet access so you can see your MM tags.
