2 july 2007 i moved to the east village, and i cant stop smiling. it feels good to be able to walk to everything. next step. buy a bike. i really miss biking everywhere. too much of my time has been wasted here on trains full of zombies. |
this is my new view... |
24 August 2007 So for the last two weeks, I have been managing a photography studio while some actors have been using the space to rehearse for a movie. Not particularly interesting for me except for the fact that the main characters are played by Cameron Diaz & Ashton Kutcher. I have to say that Cameron is very sweet in person and she seems to have a great attitude about all the media attention she gets. The paparazzi followed her to our studio and followed her when she left. It seemed pretty creepy to me. And in more important news.... I will be travelling to Chicago in 2 weeks to photograph one of my very best friends, Leilani Munter, as she races an Indy car at the Chicagoland Speedway. I am so excited! She has been racing stock cars for about the last 5 or 6 years and just switched to Indy. Since I have been in Europe for the last 7 years, this will be the first time I ever see one of her races in person. Leilani and I were college roommates in San Diego, and she is one of the few people that I stayed friends with while I was overseas. I am so proud of her! She has been such a huge inspiration and support system for me. If you haven't yet heard of Leilani, you will. She will beat Danica Patrick to become the first woman to ever win an open wheel race. Mark my words! |
See that smile on her face? That's called living the dream.... |
10 june 2007 I had the pleasure of seeing the veils perform two nights in a row. mercury lounge and union hall. Sometimes life is very good. Although I am trying to forget that one of those nights, I fell asleep on the train and woke up in the middle of nowhere. I love this band. You can go to fabchannel and watch one of their shows live from Amsterdam's Paradiso. Just do a search for the Veils on the site. I also photographed Finn, the singer, last year in Amsterdam for a Dutch music magazine. He is the real deal. I just got the most amazing email from a client who i made some portraits for last week.When i sent the pics, he replied..... "they turned out fuckin perfect. You are really talented Vic. All of my partners are blown away. I think we are going to work with you from here on out, for our shit and for our artists. As far as i'm concerned, we've found our photographer. I knew you were good, I didn't know you were this good." Thanks JB. You made my day. |
