So today i shot something totally different, and that was this "Dear John" letter I've always wanted to do.

It is in my portfolio, it does have some language to it (on the mirror) but the concept was to write something to your ex so he/she would get the point that you are thru with his/her ass forever. 

Model was ALYCE JERRAD (MM #891670) -- she was at the meet an greet.. did you even say hi to this gorgeous model?

So I was over at Lillie K's house in Henderson doing some creative stuff with some models from the Meet and Greet and from previous shoots.. and I got my hands on Ms Megan Jane and gave her a gun and some pills and told her... "GO"...

well, 3,000 fast action shots later, this is one of many winners I got from her.

so the other day we did a reshoot over at Lillie K's home studio... which is very cool, roomy, and hey not all of us are privedge to own a "real busines front studio", but hey we FAKE IT until we MAKE IT... 

{the backstory}

Yes, we know hes wearing black on black, but he only stoped in for a quick 10 minutes, thats actually his work colors so he didnt wanna do a full blown shoot, and we worked with what he gave us.

Just like batman, zorro, and spiderman, the mask must stay on... I too almost got a full clear picture of the "bandit" without his mask, but he quickly reacted by adding his fingers over his face to HIDE his IDENTITY... there is a $1,000 reward for a clear picture of the White Zinfidel Bandit....

Damn we have too much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  For all those models out there...YOU MISSED OUT!!!!!!!!!!!  Random texts lead to photo shoots.  And I learned, even when you are done working out, you can still show up to a shoot and get a great photo.  My messy hair and dirty makeup came naturally from my sweaty workout.  HAHA.  Thank you Mike Lee and Lillie for working with me even AFTER I just worked out.  We did very well.

And as far as credits, MIKE LEE you get a TON of credit from everything that happened in the past month or so.  You have set up all of these M&G's that lead to great exposure and much fun.  Beyond the drama and the stress, everyone accomplished what they were supposed to...I hope...  I know I did!!  Many of us got to experience the high paced atmosphere of trying to get that one awesome picture.  And I also need to thank you for introducing Charles, now Mr. Romance, to me.  He was a great joy to be around and to work with.  Too bad we didn't have him in Vegas, that way we could work with him all of the time!

I want to thank YOU, Mike Lee, for bringing us all together and getting all this set up and you made it happen.  Also, it was great to watch other models pose for the cameras and see what it's like from the photographers POV.  I love this type of stuff and want to see it happen again!!!  Shoot out at Lillie's perhaps????  Hm......

we need to talk to Lillie and sweet talk to Shawn and see if they let us do a weekend shootout at their place by the end of May (ala potluck after 4pm)

Knowing models will eat first and feel bloated and then pass on a shoot. so we should shoot first and eat second.  Maybe a $10 house fee, and $15 worth of food/drinks/bbq meet

Maybe you models who are close to Lillie can work your magic woman to woman ... but im sure that would be the bomb!! and plus, mutiple backdrops, outside shooting, dogs, and props, and good times all around...

Speaking of good times, Im warning ya now, Lillie has several photos of behind the scenes pics, and theres one or some of me knocked out on the couch with Tanya Su holding a peice of trip tip/meat  next to my lip....and it really looks like my tongue... I guess its one of those things you had to be there to see it, kinda things... but hopefully she wont post it, as long as i stay on her good side.

anyways, im trying my best to put up images left and right, but damn if you see all the pages since we started i have atleast everypage with pictures, so im kinda "edited out"

I wish Lisa Wright would learn how to script pics, the White Zinfidel bandit does, Mario does, and Lillie does.... so if theres any photographers or models who has new pics that are not in their port, or would like to shop it around here with colleges and associates, by all means lets do it.

Megan Jane... always a good time when i shoot you.. even when you have a loaded gun in your mouth and some "sleepy aid pills" in the other... cant wait to see Lillie's action shot of the pills!!!

Kitti Kobain, and Tanya Su, your next on the edit board, hang tight
