Hello, happy people, and Happy Mother's Day. I wrote a bit about this on Instagram, but as some of my closer friends know, my mother actually gave me a camera on Xmas, and I've taking photos with it for over five years now. In celebration of such things, I present to you the first volume of "Pearl's 4th Street Shenanigans." I say 'volume one' because the title might change to something else just as clever. Like, "Pearl's DTLA Shenanigans," or "Pearl vs. the Skyskcrapers," or even "Super Pearl vs. King Kong and Godzilla." That last one was just a B-movie pitch with franchise potential. In any case enjoy the photos because there will be more of them, much more. Cheers!

Hello, hello, good people of the internet. I haven't written something on here in a month or something, so with that in mind, there are two new sets of photos on my website, with a couple more on the way. The first is my new shoot with Alex and Jorvon titled "Goth & Gears," which is a lovely vintage and gothically modern couples' shoot that's currently under the Experimental Photos. The other is known as "Carla In the City," involving the lovely Carla, of course, and some shots of her at The Wiltern and a few Victorian houses in Echo Park. I'm only posting color photos for now, but keep an eye on this post/link. I'll be updating it with the rest of the shoot's photos over this next week. So enjoy, and I'll try to be more vocal on the blog as much as I am on social media. Cheers.
- Scott* Hello, everyone. I'm happy to present a new batch of photos for your viewing pleasure. There's a couple preview pics below and links to the full set. Cheers.
- Scott* ![]() It makes complete sense that, eventually, I would write a retrospective like this one within weeks of my birthday, one that I’ve ceremoniously labeled on my calendar as “You’re officially older.” There’s a reason I’m preluding this retrospective, and it’s due to the fact that out of everyone I’ve photographed at this point in time, Eli is not only one of the few people I’ve regularly collaborated with, he’s also one of my oldest and closest friends. I’ve known him for thirteen years, and even though we don’t hang out as often as we did back in middle school or our high school years, whenever we do hang out, it’s like a sequel done right, picking up right where we left off, and not getting bogged down by irrelevant things along the way. Plus, we churn out some pretty amazing work in the process. Hopefully, we can collaborate more often in the near future, especially since my brain thinks I need a senior citizens’ discount for reaching the physical age of 26. This person is one of my dearest friends, and has been for roughly half of my life, and will continue to be even long after he and I depart this mortal world. He’s even done something that few people would be allowed to do to me: he made me the photography subject… for two minutes. Granted, this was when I was rocking the 1960s nomad look with more pride than I needed while continuously dressing like I stepped out of that era. Luckily, they were in black and white so I didn’t have to look too much like a madman. It’s highly rare that I’d have a friend as close as him for this length of time, but I’m glad I do. The photos accompanying this retrospective may only span a couple of years, but they reflect a lifetime of true friendship, trust, and a mutual appreciation of good cinema.
