Now Think

Sherrie and I had a really fun lunch at the “Hard Rock Cafe” then head out to grab a few murals in the hood.

Now #1

You gotta love this one at “Now” magazine HQ’s!

Now #2

NXNE is not the artist, it’s a music, film, interactive and comedy festival.

Now #3

Now #11

It’s a hard one to shoot. It’s just so big & high, and I had a hard time finding focal points.

So I decided to be as crazy as the mural!

Do you think the harmonica player depicted above is Junior Wells?

I was fortunate to shoot this “paper doll” of Charlie Chaplin on a balcony, but it was almost a storm when I did. His effigy had blown over.
