This is how we did it, back in 2014. Back light, canned smoke, Big Freedia on the stereo, excellent subject in front of the camera.

Get your vibe, play around with the light, fuck around with some gimmicks, make sure the music is just right, brings that energy.

Oh, and an apartment whose walls are covered in Polaroids, get one of those, too. Always good fun.

So here's the video Flickr did about me...it was actually a pretty easy-going time! The whole Flickr crew was smooth, well-practiced, let me do my thing...and frankly, I'm from LA! I can handle a camera in my face, some interview questions, they train us for that in preschool!

And I won't lie, it's a nice pat on the back. Site you like and have spend untold hours on says they like you back? That's a great feeling!

So here's to great feelings!
