Shawn Records
Shawn Records was in L.A. last night, on an editorial assignment for W magazine, and we were able to meet up. (If Shawn’s ever where you live, be sure to spend a couple hours with him. You won’t be disappointed.) I picked him up at his motel on Hollywood Boulevard and we went to Shotgun Space to see the group show, in which he has a few (beautiful) images. The show looked great, and I was glad he got a chance to see the gallery while he was in town for less than forty-eight hours.
Went to Starbucks for a quick coffee (hot chocolate for me, of course), and talked shop. Or, more accurately, he talked shop (i.e., answering all my questions about his editorial and commercial work, his process, etc.) and I listened intently. Then he was off to Ralphs to snag a toothbrush and a Hostess cherry pie (a travel ritual for him, he said). He seemed pretty happy with the whole setup—the W gig, the cheap motel, the cherry pie—and I could see why.
Now I really can’t wait to see the photo when it appears in W. I’ll be sure to post about it when it does.
P.S. Thanks, Shawn!

I was out for the opening of the show and saw Shawn's work and it was really great. I actually have a couple photos in the show. It's too bad I wasn't able to see your show last month because I really like the projects you've been working on. Good luck with the portraits by the way.
I loved seeing your work in the show, too, Kurney. Thanks for the kind words.
