Ok so this was the week of weeks. A lot of good times no drama and many surprises. I took my visiting pop up to Globe, AZ and watched him marvel at the over hanging rock formations on the 60. I love going to Miami to shoot you can do so many great high fashion shoots there. That day was mostly a structure/landscape type day to shoot. 

Later on that night I went to Desert Living Magazines party in Paradise Valley. I was off the hook...Very nice resort and no drama well except for the drunk girl with her hands down this guys pants. Of course her cock blocking friends tried to keep her away from the guy while the females decided to dance and grope each other.

Silly silly silly girls eventually she sobered up but then the real fun began, that's when women started to remember that they couldn't find their jackets and purses. Now that was silly how are you going to leave your property at a party unattended? STUPID lol...It was so bad that at the end of the night about 3:30 am I saw a girl in valet waiting for her car and proud to say that she only had one pump on her right foot...ding dong lost her left one...that's how people party in Scottsdale.

dilema

so now the question becomes what do I get for pops? hmmm, well there is the trip to Hawaii that he has no clue about, but I think that I am going to buy him some technology...maybe a portable dvd player or an mp3 player loaded up with jazz and old old school cuts.

Happy 42 to me today!!!

So today I turn 42 and I sit back or lean forward to think about when I was 12 and had my only true birfday party. It involved all of my friends from 14th street in Milwaukee. It was a cool time up in that two story duplex. Mom got a angle food cake with white icing and served up the bug juice for all that came. 

Howard, Mark, Anthony, Ricky, and the rest of the Olive St. crew all came and we did what most black kids do around xmas back in 78'. Pops came over and dropped off his gift and waited for me to open it. It was a fly watch digital to be exact from Star Distributors in Chicago...So I was the first in the neighborhood to rock a digital watch. I was gold plated with a black band and the face was red with a LED read out.

As I pushed up my black horned rimmed bifocals I remember that I had an advantage over everyone in the hood. For one my bday was today and two, I was an only child. So everything up under that white fake snow painted on tree was mine. That was the scene of the fun cause my boyz we like open thi open that. I can't catch too much of an ass whoopin for doing it so I went straight for another box...I opened up another small and slender box and wouldn't you know it was a silver watch with a read face. This looked like one of them Seiko watches now that was dope too.

Of course we would go outside for the rest of the day and do what we did which around that time of year was play football.

Fast forward to now. With my Mom no longer here it's pops and I...he travels down from the Brew to visit me every year which is cool to get him up outta there. I don't do the presents for me thing too much any more. People always want to buy you clothes and stuff...well with me I'd rather just do my own traditional thing which is to get a big fat steak and eat it before the restaurants close in the afternoon.

So that's what I am going to do today, maybe one other thing and that's it except for going to LA Fitness or go golfing...

What I lub about this time of year

First of all, many of my closest friends are born within days of myself. There's Kimberly who I've known since Kindergarten who's birthday is on the 12th. Shelly who I've known since high school is on that day too. Then Zulu's on the 13th. My old golfin buddy Sergio's is on the 15th, Renee the beauty from NC A&T is on 19th. An model of mine Qiana's is on that day too. So by now you are like dang like me...

Well, then there is my every so talented Beth who's birthday is today. So I think I'mma go run and dranky drank with her and her crew tonight. A model/photographer Tara has the pleasure of sharing my birthday tomorrow, and my goddaugther's mothers birthday is Xmas day. Not too mention my favorite cousins birthday is on the 26th. Although we have never teed it up Tigers bday is 6 days after mine. So there you have it.  I know that we never get shorted with presents and that we get at least one or more extra ones than most people lol. 

Then there is this one dynamic person who was born 42 years ago in  small industrial town by the name of Scott...who? me? of course...tomorrow is my day filled with the thought of a porterhouse steak at the city grill and glass of wine.

My latest sin

Every three days if not earlier I am going to post a new honey, hottie, superstar, ordinary woman that looks very good. I'mma keep it comin from now until...gotta let the world me these lovely ladies and get them out there.

So today we are going to start off with someone from the old country...Mirna better known as "Serbian Import" She is a free spirited, strong minded, and no nonsence type person. You can find her in Scottsdale, Az go-go dancing at Myst, Axis/Radius, and wherever the joint needs to get pumped by high energy dancers.

I love her range of styles. We can shoot high fashion, get wet in a rain storm, or shoot in a red rock river...

I'm Back!!!!!!!!

A beautiful young lady suggested that I come back on the scene and bring my unique spin on the world with my views. What we will do in 2008 is chronicle most of my photo shoots and give you the best of what I have to give. So with that being said 2008 will be filled with travel, photo, investment, real estate, golf, and life's experiences.

So we will start of with the super week in PHX...Not only did we have fun but we made money last week. I logged about 500 miles on my car between all of the parties I had to shoot. First on the list was Amare's party on Thursday. There were a ton of honeys in there but not your top level honeys more like you mid-level babes. You know the kind that look good but not great. Friday was Diddy's party at SKYE in Peoria...Tight dinner/night club...Too many people too many honeys again. This time they were more diverse and a lil prettier...Saturday night was Luda's concert and after party..If you've never seen Luda in concert you need to really go...After party at a club I can't stand Rain Blah boring level of honeys at the mid-level again.

Super Bowl of the hook boring 3rd quarter outstanding 4th...You knew NY was gnna win before they played. You don't beat a team by 3 and then come back a month later and spank em it never happens but the odds makes thought it would..Dummies.

I'm bored back to editing my fantastic shoot from today up in snow covered Payson...
