During my photography gig in Acapulco for American Eagle, my buddy Jason and I came up with that as a codeword for approaching strangers for photos….as well as leveraging the press passes to get into the VIP sections of every club in Acapuclo.

True story. Inspiring. Great directing. Slightly depressing.....but a must-see for vagabonding types. Go get this movie....! :) (and thanks to Amanda for the suggestion)

When I close my eyes at night, I see them. They are always there, with their nervous ears, flaring nostrils, and taunting me with yellow teeth. Some people see dead people, I see.... Horses. I have just ... [Continue reading this entry]
