Photographs I Met or Met at Brooks Ayola’s Studio Parties:

Jonathan Waiter. Look what you have turned me into! The photographer who gave me the “Just Do It!” attitude. It was you that encouraged me to take the first step into the arts. Had I not, my soul would have been tormented in pharmacy school and the rest of my wrong career path. I was more than elated and not to mention jovial when I got to finally meet you in 2007 and what fun I had of you using MY lights to take that portrait of me. I was skinny as a stick then. These days, I’ve developed slight tone and definition, but I am still far away from my physique goals. THANK YOU!!!

Ms. Sita Mae: OMG, thank you for finally getting to meet you over at Brook’s studio party! I enjoyed receiving those big warm hugs from you!

Wolf. Guten tag Herr Wolf! Thank you for the opportunity to meet you too! I hope I have left warm and positive impressions. Vielen Dank!

Mr. Curt Burgess. You’ll have to extend my farewells to Mrs. Kathy Burgess. I know she LOVES my photographs! Thank you sir for being able to meet you at Brook’s studio party.

Bruce Talbot. Funny man Mr. Bruce Talbot sir!!! Thank you for the opportunity to meet you as well over at Brook’s studio party. I will remember your thoughts you gave me during that time.

Jason Todd Ipson. It was great meeting you. Next time I am in LA we have to eat another Indian food!

Mr. Keith Phillips @ Lucky! Old sir! It was great meeting you and Eloise at Brooks’ studio gathering.

Karla Ticas. Greetings Ma’am. It was my pleasure meeting you when you tagged along with Sean to Brook’s studio gather. I hope you remember me!

Mr. August Bradley! Wow! I remember being briefly introduced to you at Brook’s studio gathering. I truly do admire your great visual style and I hope I have left a good impression with you.

Mr. Angelo Lorenzo! Hey buddy! It was great to meet you. I hope you’re taking great care of my Spyder2 PRO. When you want to upgrade, just pass it on to someone else.

Ms. Krista Benson! Ola Lady. Hehe. It was great to meet you. Your VFX stuff rocks and I hope you’ll share your surreal and conceptual visual arts with a wider audience.

Mr. Kesler Tran. Man, it was great to meet you too. So gald. I’ve already left a great tag that I thought about carefully so there!

To Lucinda Wedge: I have to address you respectfully and with great admiration by referring you as “Ma’am” one last time! Thank you for treating me at Maxwell’s Cafe. I enjoyed a hearty Breakfast Burrito and meeting with Mr. Richard Wedge. I’ll be wishing you my last Happy Sunday! from LA.

To Marco Carocari: You are still one of the photographers I admire, greatly respect and look up to. I was honored when I got to meet you at Joey’s Cafe in West Hollywood with my Canadian photographer friend Mr. Ryan E. Wibawa.

To Ryan Wibawa. Got rice bitch?! It is okay, I am not being rude. Him and I have reached that level of rapport and camaraderie. He calls me a bitch and I bite him back. HAHA! I was glad to be your host when you visit LA. I’ll miss you.

To Mr. Gregory Prescott, Mr. Kurt R. Brown, and Mr. Steven Blank: Hello sirs! Indeed, it was my pleasure appearing before all of you at Mr. Ayola’s studio party! Thank you for bringing along Calle Eriksson. I did a great vintage photo-painting of him.

To: Nadirah. O’reilly? S’rously? HAHA. You were a treat and funny lady. I enjoyed our conversations together at Brooks’ studio gathering. I wasn’t shy around you. In fact, I was a loud mouth around you. HEHE.
