This is a guitar I've but together from spare parts lying around, including a Bigsby Tremolo, A LSR Roller Nut, Sperzel Locking Tuners, a noiseless neck PU and a Seymour Duncan lil'59 bridge PU. Hence the "Telebastard" which I integrated into the Fender logo ;-)
It usually hangs on the wall of our band practice room's bar because it looks so cool :))
A Boogie Charles Jam Session!
The low mellow whine of a guitar playing Robert Johnson songs could be heard while some unlucky soul talks to the landlord of rent.
Lmao, okay. Seriously, we were in the middle of playing the guitar when the landlord came by for rent. Since I was the adult there, I had to negotiate with the landlord over rent. All this going on while my little sister began playing a crude version of George Thorogood's "One Beer, one burbon, One Sctoch." Worst of all, it was the rift where he was telling the story of his landlord trying to collect rent.
Try keeping a straight face in that situation.
So I took a picture of her once the landlord left. Then, I made this picture as a tribute to blues. I really like the grunge theme our house gives off. What else would you expect from skateboarders and people who play rough? Enjoy a look into our messy house.
Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

Гітара -- Ukrainian for Guitar. I figured that since I'm making an everyday familiar object look so foreign to the visual senses that I needed a foreign language to describe the set too.

A crappy, cheapo guitar with weak pickups and a neck to wine about... It was made the same month of the same year that I was born and sounds badass when played over a High Gain Mesa/Boogie...!
(With a nod to Handel.)

This collage was made entirely from magazine strips with a technique I call "painting with paper." I cut the paper into different shapes and layer them in such a way that they look almost like the brushstrokes in a painting.

This Strat Plus model was built 1997, this guitar is an upgraded version of the mid-1980s American Standard Stratocaster (first introduced in 1986) featuring three Gold Lace Sensor pickups (which I replaced with Custom Shop '69's), LSR roller nut, Sperzel locking machine heads, a TBX tone control for the middle and bridge pickups and a Hipshot Tremsetter.
A nice guitar, but not even close to a Levinson Blade...! I'll sell it as soon as someone's willing to buy it.
This telecaster was made by a English guitar builder for a friend of the lead guitarist of a bar band I used to play bass in back in the UK in '91-'93. The original owner didn't like it and sold it to our lead guitarist, who had way too many guitars and sold it on to me for a good price. It weighs a ton, The neck is beautiful with very unFender-like jumbo frets. The front humbucker is split coil switched via the a push-pull setting on the volume pot. I love this guitar

Some people say that life can be a real gem...and that's true: If you have plenty to eat, enough money to pay your bills and go on a nice vacation occasionally, a warm, dry home, a reliable car to take you where you need to go, a TV set to enjoy in the evening...
but for those who are in some dank political prison being tortured daily, or for those who are starving to death today while we post our photos, or for those who are lying in painful death beds, or for those who have been driven from their homes, life is a different kind of carbuncle:

Just because life CAN be beautiful doesn't necessarily mean that it IS.
I processed this one so heavily you almost can't tell it's a kinetic photograph.

This has been a very sturdy and reliable base guitar. Schecter is a pretty solid company and has great sounds! 24 frets, six strings, and a lot of sound!

A while ago, I was working away when my boss at the time asked my friend and I if we woul dmind driving over to his house and moving a load of furniture to his new house. Sure we said, even though we were being paid to fix computers. Why not?
So we got over to his old house, where his wife was busy throwing away a bunch of old stuff into the pile of goods to go to the Salvo's. This guiatr was amongst it all, and since we'd done such a good job, she let us keep anything from that pile. My mate picked up a bow and arrow set (he was pleased) and I grabbed this guitar. it was still in a dirty old case at the time, and i didn't even bother looking at it.
When I got home, i opened it up, and knew straight away this was no ordinary guitar - it was signed by the maker, was dated 1963, and was every bit a hand crafted beautifuly made spanish guitar. It had not been treated well over the years, as it had a large crack running down the wall, and through the top timber. i took it in to a repair guy (an afficiando on spanish guitars) who was very excited. He fixed it for me (took about 7 months of him procrastinating! - and about $600 of my cash) and it was set to go, good as new. I've been hunting around trying to find some information on the maker - and i think his name is Javier Rojo Solar - since this is a fiune guitar maker based in madrid and has been operating since the 50's. Well, next step is get in touch with him and send him these shots and see what he can tell me.
Maybe i'd better learn to speak spanish.

Like a roarin’ postcard from the fifties – that’s the sound of the HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS. Three voices, an overdriven sixstring, a big bad black doghouse bass and a pumping and swinging set of drums – that’ s what is called High Octane Hillbilly Rock’n Roll at its best, a patchwork of rough Rockabilly, fast Country and a little bit of Swing performed by Goldi Grasshopper, Crazyeye and Mr. Madsn. So put your cat clothes on, you rockin’ cats and enjoy the HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS!

Die HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS – High Octane Hillbilly Rock’n Roll at its best! Der Boss eines berühmten Rockabilly Labels sagte über den Sound von Goldi Grasshopper, Crazyeye und Mr. Madsn: Irgendwie erinnert das, was die Jungs mit der Gitarre, dem Kontrabass und den Drums da zaubern, an einen schweren V8 Motor - mal schnell, mal dreckig, mal laut – aber immer mit viel Gefühl für Rhythmus und Melodie. Rock’n Roll von den HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS, das ist ein Mix aus rauem Rockabilly, schnellem Country und einem Schuss Swing, der das Adrenalin dahin treibt, wo es hingehört. So wie es bei gutem Rock’n Roll sein soll. Der Sound der HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS – High Octane Hillbilly Rock’n Roll!

This is my old Kay hollow-body electric. I've had this beauty for about sixteen years, but it's much older than that. Right now it's tuned to open G and ready for a slide. These pickups give a really deep, thick, rich tone.

Don't let his cool demeanor fool you. Six String is one "bad sushi" assassin. This Tofu titan will lull you into a dreamlike state as he croons a melodious tune for you just before he begins to slice and dice to fulfill his contract.

They were standing outside of
an old two-story house on 24th Street
in downtown L.A., not far from USC,
where I was on my way to see Amy O'Neill,
Brian Chic and some other great performers
in Charles Scheider's wonderful
Ghost & Spirit Show at the old Union Theater.
There were blue helium balloons
tied to their gate, and they were dressed up,
so I knew a party was about to ensue,
and I walked past them
eager to get to the theater,
and immediately regretted,
as I often do, that I did not brave
their potential disdain
and request a photo. So I
turned around, and walked back.
They looked at me with
some surprise, wondering if
I was actually going to speak. I
lifted the camera around my neck
to signal my intention, and asked if
I could take their photo. Javier stepped
out of the frame, suggesting I would want
only Gloria's picture, but I gestured for him to
return. He did, and they consented to
allowing me to take this photo.
Afterwards, Javier said, "No pay?"
Gloria laughed, letting me know
he is a joker. Then he asked to
see the photo, and I showed it
to him, and we exhanged some
broken pleasantries in his
broken English and my
Espanol roto,
and I walked on,
and I could sense they
were left with the question of
"What was that all about?" This
is what this was about - a
portrait of two people,
part of the multicultural
polyglot of Angeleno experience
that fuses sorrow and bliss
within this pre-party vibe
delante de una vieja casa
festooned con los globos azules
en una noche de sábado
on 24th Street
en Los Ángeles céntrico.
