TOMMY KEENE - In The Late Bright   (because I shot the cover)

Hello Vimeo

I've had some differences with Youtube so I've moved many of my videos to Vimeo where there look better and there seem to be less restrictions. 

You can see my videos here.

Here is the same video on both Vimeo and Youtube. 

Youtube disabled the audio on this video because of a song in the video.

June 28

I took the train to Hollywood &  Highland to see the Michael Jackson mania at his star in front of Mann's Chinese Theater. Lots of people and media. T-shirts hot off the press. A line to view the star.

I walked by the line and took this shot as some dochebag security guy yelled at me for taking a photo from the wrong side of the barricade. 

I walked home and found that Arby's was in the Michael Jackson spirit. I was confused for a second about what french fries had to do with Michael.

Happy Fathers Day Dad

Called home today to wish my dad a Happy Fathers Day and my mom informed me that he was in the emergency room. While dealing with a fish he had just caught he got a fish hook stuck in his finger. After spending the afternoon in the emergency room he and his finger are fine.

June 9

Woke up early...

and went on a half day deep sea fishing trip with my Dad.

Dad split the pool for biggest fish with this black sea bass. Had they noticed the bass' mouth was full of ice when it was weighed then it would not have been a tie and Dad would have lost. But had he kept the shark he caught he would have won. I guess it evens out, sort of. 

June 7

Flew to Greenville, SC to have lunch with Aunt, Uncle, and cousins.

And went fishing with Mike and Jerry.

The Decline Of The Joy Of Flying

4 and a half hour flight from Los Angeles to Charlotte and no movie or entertainment. US Air now only offers movies on oceanic flights. Flying sucks a little more each time I fly.
