Headshots, hold the cheese.

Hello Dear Reader,

We are John and Jade and together with our Nikon camera we become the power trio that IS......The Letter B Photography.

BOOYA!

You wanna skyrocket to stardom? You wish you could be a real A-lister like Pauly Shore or Zach Morris??? Well…we can’t offer fame and glory and chicks, but we CAN offer headshots – and they’re better than the ones offered on Craigslist.

Wanna see some bad headshots?

These guys didn't come to us - they went to some schmuck on Craigslist (again, not us) and paid twenty-five dollars and took home ALL THEIR PHOTOS (un-edited) ON A CD!!!!

That's not what we do.

We take your photos for a session fee of $150.00 and you can have as many costume changes as you want - look, you're paying for our time that day and we don't give two craps if you want to use the time switching in and out of every frigging dress you own. DO IT!

After the shoot, we will custom edit 3 images of your choice, which are included in the session price, and send them to you in digital files. Any edited master files above the complimentary three we sell for $50 per image. But here's the thing - you can go do WHATEVER YOU WANT with them. You can get a MILLION printed off and cover your room in photos of yourself just like your Facebook page and it will cost you......NOTHING...because the file is now YOURS.

These other guys give you all of your photos on a CD, but what are you supposed to do with them? That zit you had that day? Ooops, it's still there because no one retouched it out. Sun too hot on your skin? Too bad - you're all blown out and white. I mean.....seriously, WHAT are you going to do with all the garbage on the CD? You're never going to use it. You're going to use the 1 to 5 photos that you picked out and had prettied up.

Remember that there is only one letter that separates art from fart.

Oh yeah, and here's some examples of good headshots:

The Saddest Boy to Ever Hold a Martini Glass.....

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Jade and I just finished another round of headshots for a little person - not a little person like a midget - just a literal little person - a two year old named Myles. Here's a kid who's serious about his future modeling career - just look at those doughy eyes.......those pudgy cheeks.......that straw white hair.......the kid looks like a Disney character!

Jade and I took he and his mother around to the usual haunts in Van Nuys, dodging gangsters and speeding bullets, avoiding broken glass and graffiti (no easy task in The Nuys), but we're pretty happy with the results.

I especially like this one because he reminds me of baby Ellen Degeneres:

Jesca

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

A few years ago our friend Shane started up a grassroots organization called Come Let’s Dance. They opened an orphanage in Africa and began taking in all of the street kids and kids orphaned from the Aids pandemic wiping through the nation.

This is Jesca. She was one of many children that were brought to the orphanage. And has stolen Shane’s heart.

We’ve had the GREAT pleasure of being friends with Shane for about five years now but last week was the first time we’ve been able to meet Jesca – Shane adopted her about a year ago and has been spending most of her time in Uganda (someplace we don’t usually frequent). It was Jesca’s second time in the states.

Shane dropped her off with us and headed out to a meeting. For the next four hours we were shown the heart of a child that has not been intoxicated with American culture. One of the first things I noticed was her want to share. We purchased her a pack of gum and she went around the car, asking each of us if we wanted a piece before helping herself. She was quiet and polite and did whatever we asked without question……except play with our dogs. She was horrified of our dogs. In Africa dogs aren’t used as household pets. They are wild or rabid and they attack you. I hate to say it, but watching a child quiver in fear from my curious doe-eyed cocker spaniel bordered somewhere between macabre and frigging hilarious.

Anyway, if you want to get involved and get off your keester this Easter (even if it’s donating your ten dollars a month) go to the website listed above. Shane is the “president” of the company, if you want to call her that and I can vouch that every cent you donate will go towards a phenomenal cause – changing and affecting human life.
