insert pithy quote about
Americans and drinking here, but hell I had such a good time that it would seem trite to say anything like—- ‘your drinks are too strong you get drunk too early, its not even midnight and I’m home’ cos im not rude and I had a lovely time…. thanks lou and laura x
Well
Its 70 degrees here in LA today. I just had a little shoot with a girl I’ve been wanting to meet for ages. We chatted about photography mostly ( hey this sounds like a LouO post right- I’m straight up channelling the dude), and we took some photos in the street. I shot all at the wrong film speed cos I’m a fool but I don’t even care, cos its a beautiful day and I finally...
shoots
oh incidentally, i know i have like no followers nowadays on here, but if you are in LA, and are free on Saturday in the day (sorry but i got to go party in the evening) and want me to do a shoot with you, then mail me kevin.mason@welovecreate.com with a pic, or link to your profile etc. Nothing tricky just a girl, some film, a bit of daylight and an awkward english guy. job done.
here’s...
LA
So it turns out that after being in a car for 11 hours you get cabin fever, the best way to exorcise it, is thrash your hire car something chronic on the worlds most exciting freeways, LA, whilst listening to Magnetic Man at kidney damaging volume. Everything seems to fade away even the other cars don’t seem real anymore and you can burn gas like there real is no oil crisis. Good times.

This just made my day....
an email arrives first thing, last line….
“I got the rest of the week free, so come on out! we’ll see black people! eat good mexican food! drink strong booze!”
I’ll explain the context later, but lets just say LA i’m coming at ya……
Watch
So
Youve driven all day. Literally. Took some good photos in the morning but then driven for 10hours. You check into the scuzziest dirtbag motel you can find, the owner was really high and had no trousers on (I noticed when he went behind the curtain to yell at his wife) and then you find that you are in Utah. Fucking Utah, that has a 3.2% maximum on beers and no hard liquor. Seriously Utah this is...
Things
Bars where the girl pouring your drink is definitely not gonna put down her cigarette, not even to pick up the tip.
A dead deer staring you out as you take it’s photo at the side of the road.
A man raising a gun fom a doorway as you raise a camera.
A slice of orange served with your omelette.
Taking the back road.
Dogs that can smell your Englishness and bark enough to make you...
noooo
fuck as if Andy James Nelson went to a KNICKS game… why didnt I go to NYC…….. oh but he’s never seen a Bison in the realz. AJN is in NYC.
Christmas
I’ve discovered the drawback to Christmas day in a small town, you have to eat twice at Ihop because even the Chinese restaurants are shut and it appears the Jewish population aint so big here either. Oddly the Ihop was packed, maybe you Americans have forgotten how to cook at home?
Im also considering an epic round trip to LA (and back to Minneapolis) just to hang with a buddy for a bit,...
WatchThis is what I saw today, amongst many other things. Bison!!! So stoked you wouldn’t believe.
WatchRoom 109. Bozeman MT. Merry Christmas everyone.
Hmmm I posted video but it’s not coming up yet. Anyway Merry Christmas y’all. Off to find some yank breakfast as Pete Repkas uk posts have made me mad hungry.
Christmas Eve
In a town called Bozeman (1 letter away from being perfect). In a super crappy (but good) cheap non chain motel with old school neon and humming aircon. Snow on the ground. Spent a few hours in a dive bar with incredible neon signage being chatted at by a meth head. Went for a random walk and 20 minutes later found a real boujii part of town where I dropped more than the price of my motel on an...

There are 4 good ol boys playing pool and putting decent dollar down on calling each shot. I could definitely take their money- despite being 8 games down to Kenny. The question is will I?
so....
Im in North Dakota, and god knows why…. i think im trying to outrun baby jesus and his pagan holiday but the dudes prolific, he definitely got here first.
There should also be an option on all online sales, kinda like a ‘captcha’ which asks ‘are you in a manic phase?’ and then quietly voids everything the next day for you…
WatchSo we, at Create, made a video promo for a book by Danny Hogan of PulpPress. The idea, it’s an author shaping his character, that tries to stay close to the scenes and feel of the book. Watch in the dark with headphones on. There will be a full making of post after Christmas.
