I double masked up and jumped on a plane to Los Angeles to do some photo and video work with Omerta. We did a few shoots for their Black Friday drop which included some amazing new additions including a really dope gear bag. The trip was unlike any other LA trip of mine as my visitation was very limited to work and city itself was under strict lockdown restrictions since the pandemic began. I did get to see my cousin Danny for a socially distant coffee and catch up. He is a set designer currently working on Young Sheldon and his credits go all the way back to Star Trek. The shoots were all a succes and allowed me to link up with long time homie Skinhead Rob of the Transplants over at Brooklyn Projects for a shoot. I also went to the valley and shot Tati Mcquay's little brothers and dad, Stan the man McQuay. I also pais a visit to my brother Risk who was hosting a podcast that afternoon. The gun range shoot was the highlight of the trip and we took a batch of really great photos there. But the energy of the city itself was very hard for me to enjoy as Los Angeles was a sad vision of what once was an energetic, colorful place, where with peoples dreams. I hope the politics change soon and Los Angeles returns to its original lively character rest in peace to Swingers and many of the other places that are permanently close their doors forward to the ones that open in 2021.
