Bruce Parry’s “Tribe”
/ May 20, 2009 /
Documentary / Posted by Michael
Just started watching a great BBC documentary called “Tribe”… An interesting part of each episode is when Bruce experiments with hallucinagens from each tribe he visits… He then gives a little critique on what he feels. The common theme through out each cosmic mind bender journey is that each tribes social lubricant is a drug that increases empathy towards others and the world in general, and then let’s you reflect on all the wrong doings you’ve done in your life…. Now fancy that! A drug that betters you as a person!

Back in the swing of things as far as photoshoots go.. Had a fun last minute shoot last night with Mos Def before and after his show at Belly Up in Solana Beach. Patrick Trefz was shooting stills and video all evening long, can’t wait to see the outcome (we shot everything on film).. Here’s a few shots from the trusty old g10 in the meantime.

It’s the middle of the night and I can’t sleep due to some heavy jet lag.. Icelandic folk / country singer Lovsa Elsabet Sigrnardttir - a.k.a Lay Low just put out a new album recently that’s great for times like these..
