Dinomite!

In December, the awesome new Photo Editor of Los Angeles Magazine,  Amy Feitelberg,  asked me to shoot a portrait. I was so excited. I love being about and about connecting with people on a one to one basis. Shooting lots of weddings these days is great, but hard work and a long days... shooting action, emotion, and many people in many lighting situations. I love flying by the seat of my pants, but sometimes, it's great to have a quiet, controlled time to create a fun portrait.

When I found out that it was at the Natural History Museum, I was even more excited. I love the Mammal Hall! I'm not a fan of hunting, but do love stuffed animals for some strange reason.. and,  I am a fan of science. There's something so real and so surreal about those dioramas.

Every first Friday, a new band will play a show in the Mammal Hall at the Museum. I saw Wolfmother perform there last year while on a shoot. It's a cool vibe. Su Oh, the Program Director was a joy to photograph for this article. I can't wait to go back and visit.

Special Thanks to Amy for the call ;)

It's a great issue about all the fun things to do in LA! CLASSIC LA! Go pick up a copy :)
