How I Got Kilt in AZ

I wanted to do unspeakable things with this girl in AZ. She had the only yellow kilt (and a boyfriend 6 feet 2) and I was absolutely smitten. She was a gymnast and was casually doing backflips which made my heart do the same. A foine Scot's beauty she was!

Madison Sq. Garden has a nifty new feature on their website that lets you see where your seats are in relation to the stage. Here are my seats for Van Halen. I'm pumped!
Also I just found out I got Police tickets for my birthday. W00T!

The Scarlet Pumpernickel Rides Again

Alas!
When you were languishing in rooms I built to foul you in
And when the wind set down in funnel form and pulled you in
When the ghostly dust of violence traces everything
And when the gas runs out just wreck it, you insured the thing
But I can't sigh now that you made the move
It has gone and gone to dogs, lay down on the floor
For the right price I can get everything
Slip into the car, go driving to the farthest star

HHNT my lovelies!

Teddy's Lake

I took quite a few pictures out the window of the airplane on my trip to Phoenix. Here's a lovely one of Theodore Roosevelt Lake on the Apache Trail. It's the only body of water like that in the whole area and I sure wish I had gone there because MAN is Arizona ever DRY! Two days later I still feel like the mummy LOL! I never thought I'd say so but I'm glad to be back in NY. I'm a Sea Dog, not a Prairie Dog!
I had a good time seeing my friends though and I took enough pictures for a month! I finally got some sleep last night but yesterday was brutal. No more redeye flights! Nothing like an all nighter to make you feel your age LOL

Bees Like Honey

I'm quite proud of these two images. Just the sort of thing that makes beginner photographers cream their jeans. I hope you like them too. Arizona was one giant photo op but I'll be weeks sorting through the pictures. These I had to post now though. Before going straight to work after flying home on the red eye. Bleah. No sleep 'til Brooklyn!

Scary Monster HNT

The BEAST Never Sleeps. Recipe for Big scary Monster HNT:
Take one (1) Keyser, one (1) red big-nosed Mardi Gras mask, one (1) big assed sword, one (1) background sheet provided by Z and one (1) expensive camera and tripod. Mix well under low light and under expose with high contrast. Now...CLICK. OK now I ask again. Please visit ANDYT13.com and opine about the new design please. Thanks.

Fuck's SAKE!

I know you can't hear me over the whine but god dammit only TWO comments on the NEW SITE DESIGN??? You force me to use much stronger methods.

New Web Site Design

OK, so my main website ANDYT13 has long been overdue for a revamp. It's always been sort of graphically challenged and that seems like a bad thing for an aspiring photographer. Since I'm trying to get more photo jobs and the competition in NY is fierce it seemed better to send people to my own website rather than straight to Flickr. If you'd be so kind how about dropping be there and letting me know what you think?

Clear Retainer

So I have this thing in my mouth now. I also have two little post glued to my left fang outside and inside. So I put in the retainer, loop n elastic over the inside post, OVER the retainer and over the outside post thereby pulling the tooth OUT of my head and into the retainer. This is not painful but it IS irritating. It's VERY hard to put on these stupid elastics! Tougher than tying a hair ribbon on a bolt of lightning! That's a good simile. Anyway it also annoys me that I feel it pulling (which is what it's SUPPOSED to do!). Anyway it's in. Three to six months. Then my smile will be straight. I hope.

The Fella In Red HNT

The Fella In Red, the ladies are crazy for The Fella In Red! For the second time ever I am actually with the theme! Shocking, I know.
I liked this pic a lot. As soon as I saw it I said "Wow! I'm actually kinda HOT!" :-) Usually I totally hate the way I look. So just to see what would happen I measured me. No, not THAT you pervs! Anyway here's what I found:

Wrist: 7" Neck:18" - Biceps: 15" - Chest: 45" - Waist: 32" - Hips: 38" - Height: 69"

Then a weird thing happened. I plugged those measurements into google and found THIS! Body measurements of the Grecian ideal! Lo and behold, I have nearly the same measurements as a famous bodybuilder from the turn of the century! Wow! I guess I'm not so fat after all! I need to build up my legs a little and the waist could still use some trimming but...not bad! So following on the Grecian ideal (and the theme) I decided to make myself a satyr for Valentine's Day. Let's go into a shady glade and I'll show you my pipes!

Tombstone Generator

I always wanted to die in my sleep.

Needs a pig

I'm really pleased with this image I took this weekend. IT just looks so...professional! There's something...I dunno...STOCK looking about it. It's the quintessential power plant picture. It needs a flying pig ballon though. I had a productive weekend seemingly. Got a lot of chores done, and tied up a lot of loose ends. Updated ANDYT13 to include my new FLICKR account and generally got on with a lot of stuff I was meant to get along with. Yay me!

Models? Where?!?! HHNT!

OK, for a change I have something new so here you go. These shots are from the photo shoot I did with my new camera Jan 27th with all the models and makeup artists, etc... Please go HERE and check out the results. If I say so myself they came out pretty awesome. I should have thought of this years ago. Take pictures of hot women for fun and profit? HELLS YES! There are some pretty hot guys up there too, so there's something for everyone.

I Am A Camera - I am what I play

You pisces are a walking talking camera. You take pictures of everything. You are then very influenced by what you just took a picture of. Movies can affect you like a real life experience. Be wise about what you let into your mind because you can be controlled by your subconscious. You may think you need to escape reality by movies or eating or sleeping or drinking or drugs. Why? Because you fear. You came into this life to face fear, not be overcome by it or dwell on it as in horror movies. You can not afford to get lazy. Or spacey or think you have this problem or that. You have to get tough. Hangups are your own creation and you can uncreate your problems through spiritual developement. You would do well to work in hospitals or glamour professions. Or the movie industry. Photography music or art are places in life you can contribute if you keep on the high side of morals, values, intrigrity. The horror movie is not the answer but may be an attraction to you because it is a way to work out your fear so you think. You have to be so careful of what you put your attention on because your a sponge. You can be subliminial seduced so watch and show discipline about what you allow to go into your minds eye. You are a camara. You open up your aura and the demons come on in when you put your attention on wrong things. You can also walk such a path of sainthood that the world is saved by your presence. You are happiest when you serve without hope of reward. You came to heal others. SO get out of self and get up and doing. You can inspire the lowest of the low with your compassion and mercy. The world needs this from you. You can absorb others pain as if it was your own. But learn to keep yourself separate from theirs, so you do not get blinded. Still help them because you are the only one who can. Stop playing records of the past. Be honest with your self and others and see how they run to be held by you. Take off the rose colored glasses and overcome your fears. Deal with your psychology and if you have done all these things then go save the world. It is your calling in life to heal.

WTf?!?!?! Jesus, when did I become Jesus with a camera??? All I want is to have lots of fabulously raging sex, and have fun pursuing my creative muses. Why the hell I have to save the world? Bah! Didn't I have enough of a messianic complex as it was? Damn Jean Hart Astrology.

BLUE?!?!?!?

I took this little personality test here: The Color Code and guess what I discovered? I am BLUE. BLUES are motivated by INTIMACY. They seek to genuinely connect with others, and need to be understood and appreciated. Everything they do is quality-based. They are loyal friends, employers, and employees. Whatever or whomever they commit to is their sole (and soul) focus. They love to serve and give themselves freely in order to nurture others' lives. BLUES have distinct preferences and have the most controlling personality. Their personal code of ethics is remarkably strong and they expect others to live honest, committed lives as well. They enjoy meaningful moments in conversation as well as paying close attention to special life events (e.g. birthdays and anniversaries). BLUES are dependable, thoughtful, and analytical; but can also be self-righteous, worry-prone, and moody. They are "sainted pit-bulls" who never let go of something or someone, once they are committed. When you deal with a BLUE, be sincere and make a genuine effort to understand and appreciate them.

Happens to be my favorite color also...
