Another good day shooting Lisa, always good shooting her. She is on fire, particularly now. She’s taken on the job of mastering her media in several different mediums. And while she is model and gymnast and celebrity before my lens, before my eyes she is eternally punk rock peacock. And in the junk pile out behind the castle she lives in up by the Hollywood sign, with cameras whirring all around us, she stomped down in those checked heal and firmly kicked ass.

“When you’re poor, and you don’t have a house anymore, you can just look in the trash for a bag and make yourself some clothes.”

Here’s a peak at the shoot we did this week with Shpetim Zero and his amazing hand crafted couture in the green of our Lincoln Heights heights above Skyfarm. Collaborating I had Sharon Gualt, LaChapelle’s brilliant make up artist, providing face like only she can and Larry McDanial spinning up into existence the extreme hair peaces he stayed up the whole night before building and the lovely Maria Bernaldez who Larry had met at Starbucks, lucky, and who was full pro and didn’t moan a bit as she froze and ached, instead she just shined. And of course my strong men, The Alex and new teammeeno handyman, Gabriel Brazil. Genius all around. Bravo, I love the fertility of our hillside.
