DJ Hall Retrospective Reflections






































Her perfectly rendered women soak in the sun next to glistening pools, often flashing the viewer a smile as they peer from behind their oversized sunglasses, drink in hand.
Thin, blonde and attractive, Hall looks as though-given a hat, dark sunglasses, and a swimming pool-she could be a woman straight out of her paintings. and in fact she is.
You can check out her work at the Koplin Del Rio Gallery in Culver city !

It's finally launched!  After many months with Wolfgang, the German Genie, I've had my wish come true, and am freed from bottle of being the "fill in the blank" guy.  It's been a really cool process to collaborate with another artist to describe what I have to offer.  Now I leave it up to my friends to judge...

A.R. Rahman-Composer "Slumdog Millionaire"





























it's a 20hr flight from India and you get 1/2 hr with him, that's it...make sure you are ready to shoot when he comes through the door ...
Pascal, my assistant, looked at me with that oh sh** you get one take face...ok, no problem, I said, but where can we shoot him..?  well, she said, in a sheepish kind of way (PR agents have a tough job), the restaurant is all we have for you..and there is a wedding taking over half the restaurant...really?...and the clock is ticking; its 5:20pm and I have 10 minutes to set up...Pascal looks at me and says in a low voice...well, cco, what do you think we should do?
I looked over at our lovely 4 Season's Hotel PR person and said, do you by chance have any back dining rooms?  And while we are at it, how about a piano? ha, ha...right? as I laughed at myself!
well, she said, funny you should ask...we do have a back dining room and it does have a piano in it...and it's not being used!...no sh**?
long story short...A.R. Rahman was really, really tired, but he did give me 35 minutes...right up to when I blew the fuses in the room...perfect timing as I looked over at A.R. and Pascal... 

p.s. - go see slumdog millionaire!
