The new show graphics are snazzy!
Like:I’m liking them too. The FOF Boxes are fun but this is more slick.
Like:You should have asked Mike Ruiz how big those guns are? I saw Mike at the Atlanta premiere of Starrbooty and he was such a nice guy and super buff. When I actually talked to him, all I talked about was Dolly Parton. He told me she always comes to photo shoots fully made up and hair(wig) already done. She doesn’t want anyone to see her out of makeup. She also knew exactly how to pose and how to give her best for the camera. he said she was a dream.
Like:I loved today’s show and also learning that Shannon Doherty has a deformed face.
I don’t have to ask him how big they were, I felt them!
Like:I did feel those gun, and let me tell you from first hand experience, he’s ALL that! Nice guy, hot, talented, humble and sweet.
Like:Hey M and F, Great interview w/ Mike Ruiz. I’d always thought he’d be full of himself and haughty since he’s SO FUCKIN” HOT! LOL. But I really enjoyed the probing interview on his creative process and energy. He seems pretty cool.
BTW ‘Losing my Religion’ was directed by Tarsem Singh who did ‘The Cell’ w/ J.Lo.
Peace, DRAKE
Like:Fausto, It’s cool to hear that the “democratization of photography” question has made it into your interviewing repetoire. ~Erik
Like:Yes! Thank you.
