Is this my computer or my pillow? Wow!

I'm busy! Crazy busy, wacko busy, insane-o busy, extremely busy and maybe even too busy for real words... (Wambastically busy).
The good Lord hath blessed me w/work.
So I'm going to get right back too it once I finish this little blog update.

•working 40+ hours a week as the new Studio manager (LA branch)
•working nights editing personal jobs, favors and trying to keep a small social life(which pretty much means talking to the employees at Femima connivance store and the occasional homeless person I pass by, on the way to get energy drinks)
•Art Show this Saturday at *THE LAB* in Costa Mesa.
•Upcoming feed the Homeless ride. stay tuned.


I'm planning 2 trips right now... actually 3! Cuba, Uganda and NY (for thanksgiving with my brother)
Cuba has been the tough one...I'm trying to get a AP pass, but its harder then it looks... Trying to work with some friends at CBS and getting clues and hints how to get in. I want to document the beautiful country and really take it all in...this will be a phototrip that I've invited 3 other guys on (Wignall,Trine and Sjoberg) we'll see if they actually end up coming w/me... otherwise I'll be on my own.
Uganda in January... I need to buy these tickets too! Probably heading up the crew of 4-6 people. A two week trip to some of the most remote areas of Africa, working with invisible children, ServLife and various other non profit charities.
January 14th, after Bronson and Chelcie's wedding.

NYC thanksgiving chillen w/Ira and his new brownstone apartment in the upper westside of Manhattan.


I have a new intern.
Allison is crazy busy w/her own personal job and school, so I needed someone else to help me edit and teach the photography trade...I'm always looking for trust worthy, talented individuals that are interested in becoming photographers... I like teaching and more over, I like watching people progress and work for me for free... its a win win situation for everyone.


Thats my update!
I've been really enjoying this restaurant on 2nd st. "The Magic Lamp" go check it out. I'm really craving it right now!

10 photoshoots to post-produce.
1 more tomorrow nite.

Cheers to productive late nights huddled around the G5.

"Samuel's Daily Candy"

Ya'll have heard about www.dailycandy.com right?
Well, heres the news, happenings and whats going down in my "Daily Candy"


I'm sipping an original size 24oz of Pomagrante Jamba Juice (all fruit, nothing else!)... lemme tell you something about Jamba Juice... can I? Thanks. Alright, if your nice to the employee's at Jamba, they'll give you free drinks...Which is good, cuz the drinks are expensive! (That should be a tip people pay for)

I spent a full-on hour hunting and trying to find a camera that I'm wanting to buy (See this beautiful camera...its a point&shoot... perfect for my photo work w/o feeling like its work)

I finally found my friend Audrey from "The Magic Lamp" on myspace... I had her email wrong, didn't see the "OT" (that doesn't make since to you...thats why its "MY" daily candy... ha!) Cool girl! Gives me free drinks (I'm telling you, its all about getting free stuff and tipping good!(see above,way above)

OH! Really quickly, anybody wanna assist me w/a fashion shoot Monday nite? I need 2 assistants... I'll teach you all I know... I don't have a budget to pay you in american dollars(maybe yen, which would be better for you anyways...its worth more.) ... but it'll be worth your time...plus it'll be the most fun you've ever had...with your clothes on...

ummmm.... Have a told you that I think this movie (HOT ROD, comes out AUG. 3rd) was created just for me?
LOVE IT, just the thought of it makes my heart smile.

I'm editing Lori and Haw's wedding tonight, I'm halfway done and this wedding shoulda been done a week ago...but I have 5 other weddings that have been stealing my energy.... if you know Lori or Haws, tell them you've seen all their pictures and they are amazing! They'll be mad and happy at the same exact time...its a weird sensation to feel like that.

almost done w/my jamba juice... so good... things are tastier when their free... I wish I was a celeb... they get it ALL for free!!!

I put my watch on eBay last nite...yeah, I couldn't sleep at 3am.

I'll post more stuff tomorrow when I have a minute of freeness...

Thanks for ready all of my random candy... this blog shoulda been called "Daily Candy: Candy corn version" cuz its really layered...like a bundt cake.
Stay tuned for another Daily Candy!

P.S. "Lean like a Cholo" is over played in my studio... I barely like it, but I play it...what does that mean? Its some sort of psycology issue... maybe I'm really a cholo... wish I could collect a brown tan like one.
P.S.S Whats with Myspace SPAM these days? Are you all doing your part and clicking the "SPAM" button when you get them? Someone isn't reporting these cats and they're getting all up and on my inbox...lets end this people!
