First I'll start by saying I love the MM threads they make me do this alot...

Ok... to answer the PM question of the week "Is your name really Brick? and what kind of parents name their kid Brick?" Yes that is my name and when I asked my folks they told me Fathers name is Buzz and Great Grand dad was Richard... Buzz + Richard = Brick? I don't know I was hoping some story about concieved in a home depot or something kewl... and the last pic in my fotos is Me... woop, woop!!!

I've been shooting for a few years (more then I wanna count) and just trying to figure things out. I still remember the steel can days... I'll get someone to write kewl stuff here?...

Photography is my day job... I have a studio in LA/HWood and it's how I keep the food on the table and keeps me able to replace sync cables the studio cat eats. Bring a stray cat home to the studio and he takes over and he makes him self at home... Thanks Spot!!!

I bought my first 35 mm SLR kit at 11 years old with money I had saved from working two paper routes. I was first published at 12 and had a coffee table book for the Rose Bowl at age 19.I have an Agent who lines gigs up for me... When I'm good the gigs are fun, when I'm a brat? Comfort Inn in Barstow... not so much fun!!! I have been lucky enough to have traveled ALL over the globe shooting. From down under to Hong Kong to South America and being chased through the jungle by a Pissed off Mother Jaguar... I have a lot of experience and like to make sure that everyone has a good time "If your not having fun you shouldn't be doing it" (well everyone except the momma Jaguar) Being based in Los Angeles I Shoot alot of head shots, promotional photography for Actors, Models and Bands. Content for zeds, webs and portfolios. I shoot and work closly with a lot of agencies, and I have done agency referals if I think you'd be a good fit with someone.

I've done work for such clients as: Nike, Tops, Hooters, MLB, NBC/Universal (Heroes), Foxs 24 (But Grey Goose at 9:30 AM is a bad thing), Cohiba cigars, Sigma, Reebok - Steel, Motorola, Apple, Del Rio Vinyards, Southwest Airlines, O'Neal Surf, Mylac Hockey, San Jose Saber Kittins (Arena Football) and many more... most recently did a blind shoot for GMC/Transfomers... wish I would have known cause I so want the New Camero...

I hate business cards, name dropping or SSP (Shameless Self Promotion) but my agent says I need to do more of that crap for 2008... And since I dont want to get stuck shooting a Comfort Inn in Barstow again, I'll start doing it. lol

I also work with a group of friends at a Casting Office in studio city... CBS Radford. It's a fun job, but sometimes the deadlines are crazy. I don't have much free time for a personal life so don't be surprised if you are a friend and we cant hang out for a couple of weeks... Unless you come drink while I network... Cabo on Funday Sunday rocks...

The high light of this past year was having 3 billboards at the HWood/vine and Sunsert/vine stretch... nice to walk out of the bar and be able to see some of my work up there looking back at me.

***Limited TFP, but I still do them so it doesn't hurt to ask***

I don't take these sites too seriously as they are the cyber world and I live and work in the real world so you can see why I dont take to serious... Oh and everyone tells me I'm a smart ass, but it's not that brite in my opinion.
