Check out the rest of my pictures from the NYLON Magazine 12th Anniversary Party on The Cobrasnake.

Pool party last spring with Victoria, Adam, AJ, and Kathryn… ready to it all over again.

Remembering LAX back in the day. DJ AM, So Me, Gaspar, Busy P, Mark The Cobrasnake, Steve Aoki (and me behind the camera with my homie ronyalwin).

For like three months, from October 2009 - January 2010, Voyeur was the coolest place to be on Mondays and Thursdays in Los Angeles. Never Forget.

Hemingway’s Bar, Los Angeles California

I shot this photo of Hemingway’s last night - the walls are set with (real) books, manuscripts, and vintage typewriters, and DJs spin anything but Top 40s, from Violent Femmes and Masta Ace to Warren G and Passion Pit. No bottles being popped (or the obligatory fireworks and flashlights that accompany them at every other club), no embroidered jeans or button-down silk shirts, and no drunk bitches dancing on tables like their next meal depends on it (even though it sometimes does)… just a cool bar with stiff drinks and interesting people.

It’s definitely becoming one of my favorite places in Hollywood.

Some of my photos from Teddy’s last friday are on Guest of a Guest…

For the past two weeks, Teddys on Friday night has been the best thing happening in Hollywood. Clubs in LA can’t survive a few months before failing miserably or falling prey to Euro Trash, bottle service, Top 40s, and ridiculous fog machines, but Teddy’s has stayed cool for over five years (generations in this world), slowing down at times but never lowering its standards, never becoming trendy or trashy.

The unique crowd is what has kept it alive - freaks, rockstars, rich kids, models, skaters, stylists… it’s not about exhibition of wealth like the “hot spots” that come and go, it’s about interesting people that want to have a good time and get a little crazy. There’s a certain feel that lets people chill out or go wild without the creepy drama of other places.

The music has a lot to do with that, it’s not like anywhere else - if anything it’s kind of like the coolest mid-school dance ever. Last friday Jordan and Myles Hendrik DJed everything from DMX and Destiny’s Child to Violent Femmes and Dolly Parton, getting the crowd amped to Le Tigre and slowing them down with The Rolling Stones.

…Then the music rolled from Ed Sharpe to a quick silence before this song began. And for a second there was a collective “Ohhh Shit!” as everyone realized they were about to have that moment they dreamt of as a kid, swinging someone sexy into their arms and holding them close like the movie poster promised.

I think Teddy’s is back, and I kind of love it.

Guest of A Guest: Daily Style Phile

Please excuse my brief narcissism, I don’t like writing about myself or my personal life but yesterday I was featured in the Los Angeles Guest of a Guest Style Phile section. I’m so thankful for the great friends and collaborators I’ve met over the years, and I’m really honoured to be featured on the site along with some of the most creative and influential young people in Los Angeles and New York.

If you’ve ever wondered about my life in LA, how I got here, or just a little bit about what I do day-to-day, go check it out.

And while you’re there, check out Emily Green’s article about the hollywood hotspots that are the real star of HBO’s Entourage. The article was picked up by Huffington Post, and features a lot of my favorite places to hang out in Los Angeles.
