Head Shots and Green Tea

Another gorgeous day in sunny California - after watching the footage from "Laura and Her Song" that I picked up yesterday from John Cha, and some encouragement from my girlfriend, today has become "head shot day!" :D

If you're a photographer, here are a few tips on taking headshots, or if you're the one getting your headshots done, here are a few tips for you!

I'm feeling a tad under the weather at the moment, so we'll be making a trip to Jamba Juice and I've already started the day with a bunch of green tea... I'll post the headshots soon.

Or, if you have any suggestions for places around LA to take 'em or on how to take 'em, leave it in the comments below!

UPDATE: Here's a great post on the difference between commercial and theatrical headshots - worth the read!  Also, here's a headshot from Jared Leto, Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey... flip through all of Andrew Brucker's stuff - it's amazing!

Just dug up some video from an @MattCosta show in LA (Nov 9th, 2009)

Went to see Matt Costa play the Bootleg in LA with @brochington and randomly bumped into @galenaaa while we were there.  This is a recording of "Sweet Thursday." Got the chance to speak with Matt after the show... it was neat to speak with an artist that I found out about from Pandora!

Any other fans out there?

A Clip from When @SaulAshby Visited LA (April 12th 2009)

Yeah... so I don't have any idea where we were (other than in LA) or what we were attempting to do... but this is a brief moment from when London's greatest singer/songwriter, Saul Ashby, dropped into LA for a whirlwind of a week back in 2009. Don't forget to connect with him on twitter.

Lookin forward to havin you back here again brotha!
