Had a chance to get away from all the madness and take a short hike over at the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Preserve. If you live in the LA area and have never heard of it, you should definitely check it out. It’s a green space and wildlife refuge near the intersection of the 101 and the 405 that will totally fool you into thinking you’ve driven hours to get out of the city. If hiking isn’t your thing, check out the Sepulveda Dam (I watched them film parts of Iron Man 2 there), the LA Japanese Gardens, the cricket tournaments on the weekends, the model airplane landing strip, or Lake Balboa.

There’s seriously so much to do here; or, you can just sit, enjoy the beautiful environment, and let the hustle and bustle slip away…

Good friend, actor extraordinaire, and fellow Dungeons and Dragons player Read MacGuirtose just finished up a headshot session with us and we captured some amazing stuff. Read is currently in production for “Blokes,” a satire of British sitcoms and the stereotypes we Americans have. He and co-writer/producer Erik Johnson just wrapped up a successful Kickstarter campaign and plan on shooting two episodes this December. If all goes according to plan, the final 6 episodes of the first season will follow shortly after, with a distribution somewhere in the middle. The cherry on top: watch me play an Irish policeman who can’t seem to do anything right.

On to the Pics!

Nicky Peluso is one of those chaotic, free souls that you are just as likely to find in Cuba celebrating her birthday or knee-deep in a raid with her World of Warcraft character (sorry Nicky, now everyone will know that you are really a nerd underneath all that model/actor). She is currently in the process of transferring back to LA from the bay after destroying the competition up there. Last we spoke she had just signed a new agent and is diving back into the deep end of LA.

Knowing her talent and luck, she won’t have much time for her WoW character in the coming years. Check out these highlights of our session:

Just finished up a session with actor Raj Jawa, who took advantage of one of my seasonal craigslist specials.
