Took this one last year, more to come …
I took the whole family to a friend’s birthday yesterday, it was at a restaurant in Beverly Hills. It was real small, just his family and a couple of friends, I think a total of around 16 guests. So there was this really tall guy, and I mean I am tall, but he was TALL! So by the end of the night, in my head I painted the perfect picture, on how funny it would be me standing on a chair next to him and be the same size. Cool idea Pascal (it’s not like a 100 other people had this idea before)! So the night is coming to an end, and I walk up to my friend and be like: “Yo, can you take a photo of us?” and he already looked at me kind of crazy and said “Well, did u ask him if he wants to take a photo with you?” So I asked him and he was rather like saying “whatever, …” but not really was completely cool with it. At that point I still had this perfect picture in my head and was just excited about the joke I am about to pull of and jumped on a chair (remember, we in a restaurant in the middle of Beverly Hills). We took the photo (took two attempts since the flash was off), and … really … umm … I don’t think they got the joke (the chair is not even on the photo, its cut off)?
Now after all, I found out that this guy was actually Kevin Garnett. If you don’t know who the that is click here. So just to recap … in a rather family orientated dinner, where a super famous basketball player joins in just to have some peace and spend some time with his family there is still this one guy that asks for a photo, jumps on a chair in a super nice restaurant, … damn already click the fail button!
I have a shoot on saturday so I went to Santa Monica and Venice to do some location scouting. I took the family with me and enjoyed the day at the beach …
A friend of mine just put me on to the great work of the GroundRiddim guys over in Japan. Funny part is, I contacted the owner and turns out he is a fan of my work just as much as I am a fan of his … next good thing is that he will be in L.A. in the next couple days so we are going to meet. Hopefully we can work on some projects together in the future. Dope!
