JM presents:

As told by John Michael and his shoot for The Christopher Walkins:



"The Christopher Walk-ins' name is obviously inspired by Christopher Walken
(More than a man, less than a god)"

- as featured on their Myspace

On July 12th, I didn't only shoot production photos for the day, but I was also featured in a
videoshoot for, "Fox". The Christopher Walk-Ins sound is unique blend of garage-band, catchy
vocals, 'an explosion of lollipops and monster riffs', and are heavily influenced by bands such as
Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, The Pixies, Promise Ring, and Sonic Youth.

The Christopher Walk-Ins are simply not getting the recognition they deserve.

Which however, I'm sure will change with an upcoming show at Janestown in LA on the 29th
of this month. As well as, two upcoming SOLD OUT shows they're playing with friends, Built to Spill
at the Troubadour later this Sept.10th & 11th. I'm fortunate for not only being their 'official band
photographer' but to have some of these guys as close friends.

So check them out and give 'em a listen at:

Without further-a-do, here are the photos from the videoshoot.
Gimme some feedback, let me know what you guys think!

















































Here are several shots I've strung together from different takes for the same scene:











Lets take a look at that EPIC shot once again.





and last but not least, the "Miho Scene"

Hipster: The Dead End of Civilization

"We've reached a point in our civilization where counterculture has mutated into a self-obsessed aesthetic vacuum. So while hipsterdom is the end product of all prior countercultures, its been stripped of its subversion and originality, and is leaving a generation pointlessly obsessing over fashion, faux individuality, cultural capital and commodities of style."

Hi Fi Noize

Friday night I snapped some photos at Hi-Fi Noize.
My favorite prop was the stripper pole, but I'm too modest to post those.

(And if you really must know, my photobucket username is from sixth grade.)

Death of American Apparel

I'm actually super intrigued by this.
Source J*davey from Everythingyoulovetohate






Why are ya'll frontin? I started wearing American Apparel before it was renounced the best thing in the planet, due to the fact that my Mom's ex coworker was the right hand of Dov Charney when they opened up the company under her credit account. (She owns two company cars.) And I've worn my gold bra when all ya'll were still wearing Hanes. Not trying to be a hater or anything, I'm just saying most of you shouldn't be complaining how huge the company has become to be and how you've been a devoted shopper for x amount of years. AA was supposed to be built on comfort, not hype. I guess it's everyones fault for mimicking their butter-faced hipster models and putting their flyer all over the place giving them free advertisement to the masses. Also, hating American Apparel is like hating cheeseburgers. It's unnecessary and everywhere.

Get your pictures taken by Bernadette or me tomorrow night! Or some indie cult bitches who bring their cameras but only take pictures of their friends. Me or B will snap you if you are cute, drunk, funny/funny looking. & Why should you go? Because The Growlers are playing, and you know what they say...All the best things in life are free. The location advantages are also 15-20 bars in downtown F-town, and when you run out of $ to spend on drinks, you can sell the clothes on your back at the neighboring Buffalo Exchange. All in one small perimeter. See you there!
