Going Scanner Crazy

[bfjr]

I promise to stop after this post :D
When I 1st joined up, I said I was into photography most my life which is true. I also said I was never a Pro, that is not entirely true :wink Perhaps because the owner of the paper I worked for was thrown in Jail for embezzlement or maybe because it was such a short time I put it out of mind. Anywho I was for about a year +(95 -96) the staff photog for the West Hollywood Weekly here's some scans of papers that show my work. I think if memory serves :dunno I was shooting a Canon F or F1 I remember it was a honking monster :D

Hi Netgarden
Yeah that paper or the city was/is anything but quiet :D
I shot a lot of let's say alternative life styles, and I was treated with much respect but those transvestites are really scary. :wow Some of them were quite honestly darn right gorgeous!! The most trouble I had was from other Photog's, especially during celebrity events.

thank you for taking your time and commenting :thumb
