Self Shot

It has taken a lot of thought on my part to be sure that I am justified in what I am about to type. And I feel that the following is accurate. First, I worked with Mickys night club for several years and was certain they were happy with me and my photo work. However, they made a lame excuse for telling me they no longer wanted my services. They claimed that since I was selling photos from my website without their permission, that surprised them and bothered them. As if that did them some kind of harm. It did nothing but made me a few dollars and promoted the events held at their club. I also have a strong feeling that Dennis has always disliked me and just found this opportunity to ask Michael to stop using my photography.? Updated:? By gones are over.? I am not going to say bad words about any past events.? I hope Dennis and Mary Ann work with me once the club is open again.

I have not done any photo work in several days and feel like I need to find more work to do. I plan on going to Fubar tomorrow night for Dirty Deeds hosted by Chi Chi LaRue. I figure it should be an alternative to shooting porn night at (m)Ickys. They have been making seriously bad decisions and burning bridges left and right. I left a barrage of emails and voice mails for Mary Ann, the general manager. She did not have the professional courtesy to return any of them. So I just feel I will move on past this club and find some new things to photograph. I also spoke with Paul V about Dragstrip66. He said they are on hiatus until October but should be fine for me to come back to take pictures then. The new venue will be Safari Sams. I have not been but its in hollywood and seemed better (less sketchy) than the one in Echo Park.
