JFK was probably the closest thing I ever had to a mentor, and it wasn't until his passing that I realized this. It is safe to say that he is the primary reason I got into, and continue to do event photography.
In 2003, I was given my first "point & shoot" and while I have no idea what I was photographing at the time (Aimee Sweet party?), I would post those pics on Porn Is Bad. JFK had a few events coming up in LA and he asked if I would shoot them for him.
The first event I covered for him (with samples):
LightspeedCash Roadshow LA
That was shortly followed up with the
Max Hardcore Kick-off Party
Then the
Sex.Com Summer Bash 2003
Chicken and Disco
and the unforgettable,
Libras Gone Wild
I worked with him for seven years and he definitely introduced me to a world that most of you will never experience. If you weren't there, you missed it. If you were there, you know what I am talking about.
Rest in peace bro, I will miss you and our chats. Thank you for everything.
