Dynamite shooting in Los Angeles

In early February I had a marathon travel work week that started in Los Angeles for two days, then an overnight flight to Madrid for two days, followed by another overnight flight to Miami for two days, then back to Barcelona for a night before heading to Madrid for a week for Mercedez Benz Fashion Week Madrid. 

The shooting in LA was for a Canadian brand called Dynamite (Dynamite.ca) and we had a super fun team and great time shooting in one of the most landmark houses in Los Angeles, the Sheats Goldstein Residence. Owned by James Goldstien, we passed the two days shooting in his house made of glass overlooking the LA skyline. The house was designed by John Lautner, a student of Franklin Lloyd Wright. This amazing residence comes complete with a tennis court located on top of the private nightclub that was still under construction and thousands of tropical plants imported from Hawaii and other far away places. Super fun times with the gorgeous American model Heide Lindgren, shot by an awesome chick Kate Bellm.

Holidaze in Greece (June 2013)

long beach days and warm starry nights spent exploring santorini, folegandros and athens. soft skin stuck to black volcanic sands, amazing lookouts, lots of stairs and broke down motos. Countless iced cappuchinos, fresh greek salads and sunset joints. two weeks under the hot greek sun side by side. Here's to needing a flashback of those special together days, while now in this moment the distance feels unbearable.

we took this trip in june 2013

we all have the ocean inside us - shantaram

“Our life, it probably began inside of the ocean. About four thousand million years ago. And for almost all of tha long time, all the living things were water things, living inside the sea. Then a few hundred million years ago, maybe a little more – just a little while, really, in the big history of the earth – the living things began to be living on the land as well. But in a way you can say that after leaving the sea, after all those millions of years of living inside of the sea, we took the ocean with us. When a woman makes a baby, she gives it water, inside her body, to grow in.That water inside her body is almost exactly the same as the water of the sea. It is salty, by just the same amount. She makes a little ocean, in her body. And not only this. Our blood and our sweat, they are both salty, almost exactly like the water from the sea is salty. We carry oceans inside of us. And we are crying the oceans, in our tears.”
