A little bit of confusion


Oh Oliver, originally uploaded by thismeik.

Doesn't sound like there's going to be a second season...
If you knew where the photo was from you'd know...
Above is my buddy Oliver after coerced him to let me shoot this photo.
I think he may be some where shooting action sports...Awesome!
Oh well...Part 1 of the moving on process has become official, i think...
The limb has been completely cut off it looks like.
So what's next is what we are unsure of....
I'll be in the city a bunch next week for bevy and photo action...
Last summer/fall was awesome but won't happen again...
And at the rate we're going this summer is almost over...who knew..
So here's some advice for us all...
Beware of the green KNIGHT
evil green
Don't stare in to the lights...
Green Light
The Glass isn't always transparent....
Green Light
Always set bench marks....
This Bench
Life is crazy like a lobster
life is crazy like a lobster

Tiny Elements


Tiny Elements, originally uploaded by thismeik.

Small steps are being taking...
On a gigantic planet.
That in essence is only a spec in this universe
So are the bricks bigger than the grass.
Or is it all just small.
It's okay I was just reading ultragrrrl.com earlier and watching NOVA...
This geek has been reading a lot more besides comics.
Mainly Lincoln History, American Exploration and War docs...
I have the wheels in motion for various paths and projects.
Not sure what is going to happen ahead.
I can say a ton of changes and variations...
Need some clarity and reorganization...
Breathe in the good the air and blow out the bad...
Also eating more salad, cause hey that's good for you.
Once the train starts to arrive we'll let you know....

Saving Music...Yes Meik! Can


Saving Music..., originally uploaded by thismeik.

Here a couple things to save the music...
Mostly directed at MTV but also at some other agencies and outlets.
Make it a party...But a Party where more people are involved...
Worry less about the I in VIP...Think about the P, The People....

Zambri will be blasted on the runways of Fashion week this year. I'm talking to you Marc, Michael, and Cynthia...Betsy I'm not sure if you are showing this year but you'd like it. I'm just saying maybe they'll be playing the 2010 MTV show...Just getting a little ahead of myself

Method Man, Red Man and Ghostface should put out an album called Justice League or The Avengers something tied in with Marvel or Iron Man two. But loud, angry and violent.
Have Robert Downey Jr. Do the intro either as Tony Stark or in Iron Man armor....Comic Nerds and hip-hop fans would be on board. I know the fellas are touring right now...So there's a chance.

MTV you want ratings for your 2009 MTV Music Awards here you go...
You'll probably have Asher Roth and Chester French at the Preshow...
That's cool I guess maybe another hip-hop act I'm not familiar with.
You know what would be insane...Green Day and Rancid at the base of the Statue of Liberty
I know you're gonna do a big MJ tribute....
I want Wham!, I want Culture Club and show me No Doubt in full regalia...
Do a lifetime achievement award with Huey Lewis and the News..
Have Ben stiller do a whole comedy faux-documentary piece for it...
What really happened with the News...Where's Huey been all this time...
Interview the Ghostbusters and cast members of Back to the Future
Have Michael J. Fox pull up in the Delorian and introduce a 2 song medley
The Power of Love, I wanna New Drug, Hip to be square of Back in Time...
If you could have Huey Lewis and the News and Ray Parker Jr Duet...End the feud.

Speaking of duets...You want men 18-45 to cry...How about girls 12-27 to as well....
The Song "My name is Jonas"...Performed by Weezer and the Jonas Brothers...
Then the Weez and Bros could do a Jonas song...I don't know any titles, sorry!
How about a little club action...double it up with Weezer and Lady Gaga for "Poker Face"...

I know you'll probably do a medley with Chris Brown, John Mayer, Fall Out Boy and someone from Idol...But come on...It's your time break out from the predictable.

The overwhelming stunner would be a tribute to either Thriller or Beat it....
May I throw this at you, Janet Jackson backed by Cobra Starship...
Just saying that would be amazing...And if Janet didn't want to go how about Katy Perry cause I think she is on tour with that venom friendly bunch...

I know Blink-182 is on tour but here's what you do...
If you don't have them booked already....
Have them do a cover of Peaches & Herb's Reunited....
Then they'll either play their new song or could do "Stay Together for the Kids"....

Beasties and Nas would have been fun but MCA might not be ready yet..
Wait a little then make some phone calls on that one.

Avoid any comedy bit that would go longer that 3 minutes and 33 seconds....
Acoustic set ups on the street or in Bryant Park would be amazing....
Come on isn't Alexa Chun dating some english band guy....
Why not have those frozen fellows do a song in a fake british pub or at Mercury Lounge...
Show Closer Blur "Beetlebum" then "Song 2"........
If they are not avail have Madonna Introduce The Flaming Lips cover of "Borderline"
So Good...So, so good!
Good night from New York....

Less Hard

Just kidding...
"Easier" is now out by Zambri...Enjoy!

Good work Zambrineers have fun in future Zambrideavors.
I still can't find my thesaurus...

This Bird is Evil....Beware!, originally uploaded by thismeik.

I was photoging around FIT on Wednesday.
I came across this row of birds that were lurking.
The Bird Crew
This one on the end had a death stare.
I tried to get close but didn't want to get pecked.
I swore he just stared at me, oh you creepy bird
creepy pigeon
Beware young fashion students for what evil hovers above you.

Flares set to Fully


Flares set to Fully, originally uploaded by thismeik.

I love blown out lights.
You get this in manual focus by making the image blurry.
I used to video loops with stuff like this.
This shall be a work in progress.

Hesta Prynn at Glasslands (Previewish)


Hesta Prynn at Glasslands, originally uploaded by thismeik.

I just wanted to get a photo up to tease.
Wednesday night's show was quite fun.
I have some more on the way.

Cross streets and people you meet


Cross Streets, originally uploaded by thismeik.

I saw this and then gave myself a 15 minute mission.
Find a Brown Rd or Katie Ave for Perry Street to connect...
I failed in my mission. But had I done this oh magic that it could have created.
I would have some how convinced Ms. Perry and Ms. Katie for an amazing cross street photo shoot.
The last 48 hours have been great for photography.

Will the sequel be called the 3rd Option

More Random street signs...

The LOLASM Mobile

Random Flowers


Flowers, originally uploaded by thismeik.

Yesterday I did a little street walking mission.
Back in NYC. I know I posting images from New Orleans intermixed.
But now for this moment this is yesterday around the city.
I have a full photo set on the way.

A horse of course


A horse of course, originally uploaded by thismeik.

I probably should have read the plaque better on this area.
There were a ton of trees and big buildings surrounding
Fanny packs, belt bags, out of staters and trumpeters
And of course the statue of a man and his horse galloping
A tip of the cap
A tip of the cap
Besides the fake
Up close
There were also some real horses
Real
All within footsteps or hoofsteps of coffee tourist trap Cafe Du Monde

Sunsets and Skatestopped


Sunsets and Skatestopped, originally uploaded by thismeik.

New Orleans has so many amazing skate spots.
Many of which are heavily patrolled or fenced off though.
This was one I caught with a nice flight of cement stairs and a sick rail...
But it was fenced and covered in stoppers
Sometimes you can see what could have been

More food signage

It's Heat and Humidity


It's Heat and Humidity, originally uploaded by thismeik.

The weather was definitely the stronger competitor in this case

The Camellia Grill


The Camellia Grill, originally uploaded by thismeik.

All I have to say about this place is go there.
Kitchen/diner set up more bar style, no booths.
The food is a little greasy but it's the good kind.
They grill their burgers on the flattop more of an outdoor BBQ style
Everything is quite excellent, even the desert.
And in my case that was the banana cream pie...
I had to crawl back to the street car.
I will return there again some day...

Daigle's Grocery


Daigle's Grocery, originally uploaded by thismeik.

Continuing in my series of New Orleans we have Bobby D's
Bobby D's
Also know as Daigle's Grocery.
Obviously seeing this it made me think of Erica right away.
I actually wanted a bottle of coke at the time.
It was my first day of Louisiana heat and that stuff is quite strong.
We would eventually stumble across another location with cold bevy.
I think this was right across the river a short steam boat ride away.
Old houses and fabulous signage...More to come

More from 12th street park

Look in to the light


Look in to the light, originally uploaded by thismeik.

Keep looking...
I was actually gawking at a bar like this yesterday...
Thinking if rivets like this were machine applications or done by hand.
Hmmmm, decisions...
Back from a night in the BK and so forth...
Many pictures to be posted

Chris Pastras Filming a trick at 12th street park

Somehow I figured out where people skate and what spots.
Mainly its just from fliers and the internet.
But this past weekend they had a BBQ benefit/jam for Harold Hunter.
A true legend who I had the chance to bump in to a couple times.
I'll post some more photos later.
Catching Chris working on tough trick was pretty amazing.
