Cocktails with Deon
Pretty routine last night. Nothing that exciting for me. I took hand full of shots. It can be a challenge to shoot people-of-color because of the shadows and contrast. Here are samples tho.
Entertainment
Mickys Snowgirls
I had a really fun time at the drag show. Jackie was at her prime during a beating of an audience member with a cane. But in all seriousness, they were entertaining and looked great.
Spit Club and Shane Wake
I went last night to a mock wake as a going away party for my friend Shane. Then to a xmas gig at Spit Club. I enjoyed it and met some new people. Today I went to a new astrology group in Santa Monica. They are not as structured as the Hollywood one, but I enjoyed meeting them and talking about common things.
Cocktails with Parker and Dirty Pop
Had a very long day with two events. Parker Williams was the guest. He photographed well. And then I stayed for College night called Dirty Pop for Anthony. I experimented with ISO settings and found my original thoughts were right. Very high ISO produces way too much noise even though it allows for some flexibility. I plan to try a few more tests next time. But I decided not to charge for this round of pics.
Cocktails with Chi Chi LaRue
Of course I had a terrific time at Cocktails with the Stars at mickys with the monthly DJ Chi Chi LaRue and several of her boy porn stars. Johnny Hazzard was the main guest. Other appearances were made by Arpad Miklos, Trevor Knight, Rod Barry, David Phoenix, and Jacob Slader
