Touched by your presence dear


Cover of Paper Magazine features my photos of Danny Masterson and Bijou Phillips. Thanks to them for being so rad during our afternoon at the Thompson Hotel. Inside also features my feature on Los Angeles couples, reality super force New York and the wonderful ladies over at Crops and Rawbers. Thanks a ton to Paper for having me on board for another great LA issue

Unbelievably massive crowds, freezing weather, porta potties, jumbotrons On paper not a pretty picture. I would not have missed it for the world. Truly one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Just Do It

Feeling Fine in 09



Same girl, same bed, same cross, different house. Our house.

Another year diving in the freezing water of El Matador under the watchful eye of these beautiful birds who followed us into the ocean as we ran and then back to the beach to keep watch as we shivered and dried off.

Many guardians, much love.

Heres to the new year everybody

Dear Amy Chance




Remeber when i was talking to you on the phone when I was driving around in MPLS and then I said "oh shit hold on, I gotta take a picture!" and threw the phone down right in the middle of you inviting us to Shawns birthday party. I hope now you understand.
I guess somebody won something
Didnt even tint these either. Fucking purple cloud.
Check out the car
Damn

Forever a mystery


Sometimes that Contax T2 is so spot on, sometimes it just censors myself for me

Again, Lend a Hand if you Can

Again I repost an email that my friend Sonja mailed out today regarding a drive for our friend Justin. Please please read,

Thanks


Hello Friends,

Our Friend and Art Director of Swindle Justin has relapsed with Leukemia and he will have to have a bone marrow transplant. None of his family members are a match, so he is searching for an unrelated donor. He will be doing his transplant at City of Hope (hyperlink: http://www.cityofhope.org ), which is just east of Pasadena.

OPTION #1
IF YOU LIVE IN LA:

In conjunction with City of Hope, we are hosting a bone marrow drive for Justin at our office tomorrow TUESDAY JANUARY 6th, 2009

It will take place between 10am and 2pm...(So go to work late or come on your lunch break!)

Taking place at the R. Rock/Swindle Magazine Office:
3111 Los Feliz Blvd. Suite 100
LA, CA 90039

There is NO COST but DONATION of any amount is requested...

They will be doing mouth swabs, no blood! So easy...right? There will be a consent form you need to fill out prior to getting swabbed. The process shouldn’t take long but we’ll have some snacks and drinks if you need to wait. This is open for ANYONE that wants to help out, so SPREAD the word!

Please be aware that by getting tested for Justin, you will be added to the national bone marrow donor registry. When a volunteer registers as a potential donor, his/her tissue type is listed on the donor file and is compared with the tissue type of all patients in need of a transplant. You can withdraw at any time, but keep in mind that you may be someone’s only hope for survival.

Please drop us a line to let us know if you are coming so that we can gauge the number of materials needed. For more information about Justin or the drive, email or call us. See you TUESDAY!


OPTION #2
If you are in the greater L.A. Area and cannot make the drive tomorrow, you can go directly to City of Hope to get tested to see if you are a match. There is a $52 fee for processing the sample, but if you donate blood, then the cost is waived. You can also request to have a kit mailed to you. If you have any questions, or to make an appointment, contact City of Hope at 626-301-8483.


OPTION #3
If you are NOT in the L.A. Area, click here <http://www.marrow.org/HELP/Join_the_Donor_Registry/Join_in_Person/index.html> to figure out where the closest drive is for you.

More Info Here: http://swindlemagazine.com/news/marrow-drive-for-our-friend-with-leukemia-on-january-6/

You will need Justin’s full name, birth date and medical record number. For that information or questions, please contact: zio@swindlemagazine.com or call us at 323-669-8819.
