Eric Idle - Comic, actor, songwriter…
There are few on screen comedians who stand out from my earliest memories of comic entertainers. Saturday nights watching the box with my folks and sister. My list is typically British for a nipper.
Tommy Cooper, Jasper Carrott, the show Are you Being Served along with the legends of Monty Python.
Cut to a few years later, ha ha, and the bright man Eric Idle walks in for our portrait shoot.
Cuppa tea I ask? Yes please. None of that Earl Grey stuff he says.
The lovely Andy Puddicombe in the weekends copy of The Times UK. Shot on Venice Beach, Andy was well up for a bit of Cardio, jumping into a lotus position. His five years in Tibet as a Buddhist monk went a long way here. Whether you're a cynical old fart or not. It's worth checking his Headspace App out. There's a 10 day free introduction here.
The new site is finally up. My web guy has left the house for the week and I wanted to post an image to see how it plays on my new blog. Here's an unpublished shot from our photo shoot with Crime author Rachel Howzell Hall. I don't like using 'My' in any sentence regarding a shoot especially when the talent are 'well ard.' Luis and Daniel Moncado our 'model gangsters,' from the popular TV show Breaking Bad, joined us for OUR photo session with Rachel in her old neighborhood of Crenshaw South Los Angeles. The neighborhood has lost some of it's old charm but it's certainly not as dangerous as it used to be, especially when you have two gents who know the streets and they're either side of you. It's late. I'm tired. More later. This is a test, this is a test ;-)
