Graeme Mitchell.

So much talent. I stumbled upon these photos while googling "Weaponry Editorial"... such a great find right? These photos speak for themselves. Big ups to the MUA and that crispy liner.

Terry Richardson for French Vogue.

Mind blown. So simple and to the point. These photos are how I want to perceive life at the moment. With their offensive, forcefully accepted content and gold plated breasts I am left awestruck. This post was especially exciting due to all of the buzz regarding Terry's "habits" on set. I say if you're going to be this chaotic, buzz inducing photographer you may as well get your creep on. Go Terry, get on with your bad bad self.

Appologies again for the lack of updates, broken hearts take time to mend. M-E-D-I-C-A-T-E

La Verne and Bianca.

A week or so ago I had the pleasure of working with my friend Ian Campbell... again. I must say there is some ridiculous goodness about doing makeup on the tailgate of a Jeep in the raw sunlight. Bianca's lovely caramel skin and perfect jerry curl set for an epic vision. We shot on some sunny California hillsides. Filmy gutter water, seas of dried grass and shadowy secret spots filled our day as we built what our imaginations had planned out. God damn I love my job.

I can't WAIT to see the film from this day!

Rebecca Caldwell.

A lovely Scottish woman by the aforementioned name contacted me to help her "revamp" her look. Since I was working with a beautiful canvas to begin with, this wasn't such a hard task. With a few outfits in mind and makeup looks pinned we nailed each look with utter success! Thank you to Neil for producing such wonderful photos. GO REBECCA!

Ladies and gentlemen, Rebecca Caldwell...

Well it's a marvelous night...

FOR UPDATING MY BLOG. Eesh, Kali. Too long is TOO LONG. Maybe all of tonights margaritas, vegan tacos and ghost piano playing inspired me to get with the program. Lately I've been finding myself again for the 9,000th time this year with a little bit of a hippie movement in mind. I think this editorial NAILED exactly what tones and layers I'm looking for. Now only if I had a poof of ginger atop my head like the lovely Miss Cintia Dicker... sighhh.

Chloe by Ian Campbell.

I recently worked with a friend of mine who goes by the name of Ian Campbell. His lovely girlfriend, Kristin, is a dear friend of mine and styled the subject on this day. It's always good to work with familiar faces... not to mention beautiful ones like Chloe's.

Futuristic hippies?

I really wish the two could hold hands amicably. This, however, is asking too much. Life's trials and errors have proved this true to me. The scenery in this editorial reminds me of living on the Big Island of Hawaii.

I bring you: "The Channels" featured in F/W '09 Pop Magazine. Prepare to dream large.

Vacation.

va·ca·tion (v-kshn, v-) n.
1. A period of time devoted to pleasure, rest, or relaxation, especially one with pay granted to an employee.

I really need one of those... especially the paid type. When I gazed upon these images I could only picture myself lounging around a breezy mid century home, all swanky in svelte clothing - doing nothing but enjoying life. I think a trip to Joshua Tree or perhaps good ol' Brooklyn is in the works, plans TBA. In the meantime I'll leave you with the above referred photos:

Speechless...

I am awestruck by this editorial Nick Knight did for the February UK Vogue. When I glanced at these photos I had to rub my eyes to make sure what I was gazing at was actually real. These photos bring the following words to mind: unearthly, extraterrestrial, native unamerican, neosurrealism, atmospheric electrical phenomenon ... etc.

God bless life, serious.

Dear Kenneth Anger,

You were a cinematic genius and captained a pirate ship from hell. Your brain leaves me seething with curiosity and fascination. You are currently peaking my inspiration list. Come find me and feed my dome your brilliance... (not like you'd read this anyhow).

Death,

Kali Erin Kennedy

Anyone who pushes the limits to the extent he did, in the era he did, deserves beaucoup amounts of exaltation for infinity. Inspiration like this doesn't come to people on a regular basis and I thank that special someone for introducing me to the thunderstorm of ideas I now have.
