Hilarious sad story:

after driving all day to vegas, shooting, and driving back, I left my lens case on the curb in Long beach. drove all the way home to LA...

Realized

WTF? Where are my lenses! My precious Zeiss Contax set!!! OMFG! Cry cry...

I freaked out.

Went back down, plastered the streets with flyers "Reward for return"... then a super old man called me - he found the set and kept it in his garage. Thank god for old people who take a walk at 6am and protect lens cases.
 
I wouldn't call that sad... Well....depends on how much out of pocket you were for the reward money.


The video cracked me up... I was wondering to myself how far he got to the airport fence before security came blazing in...lol. jk
 
HAAA, Thats funny Ian. Why is it in Rap vids your not successful until you stand in front of a lambo, or a lear jet. If I were directing it, I would have rented a hyundai for the day. Then, been like, Ok, if your music is good, it won't matter your sporting a accent.
 
Mostly it was sad because of my mental anguish - and my emotional attachment to the lenses.

It was like a week later.

Yeah, wish I directed this video too haha.

Stolen locations are funny.

I also think this may have been before manual exposure... So lighting and locking technique. Early days of the 5DII when it was still hard to convince people this was better than an hvx with a redrock adapter... Looking at it, I have to say it was fun and I worked really really hard on it with like zero help and support.
 
...well you did good. I liked the locations. Can't go wrong in a setting like that.

You're shooting with a Red now right?
