Give it away, give it away, give it away now

" a young woman calls me" about the a video interview he's done about his role on Babylon 5, and he recounts "she says 'we'd like to use it on the DVD, can that be arranged', I said, absolutely, all you've got to do is pay me, and she says 'what?', I said you gotta pay me, she said 'well, everyone else is just doing it for nothing', and I said 'everybody else may be an a*shole, but I'm not, I said, 'by what right would you call me and ask me to work for nothing, do you get a paycheck?" 'well yes' (she responded)....'how dare you call me and want me to work for nothing', 'well it would be good publicity' (she responded), 'lady, tell that to someone a little older than you who has just fallen off the turnip truck, there is no publicity value in my being on the DVD...the only value for me is to put money in my hand..."

Exposure on IGN
A recent photoshoot for friend Michael Gordon Shapiro to help in the final overhaul of his website went very well. We were able to shoot the images in one night in his apartment in Hancock Park in Los Angeles and over the next week, cut down to a select group of images and finalize them in time for his launch.
I'm really happy with how the images worked out - Mike's easy to work with it and I think we grabbed the spirit of the website.
During the photoshoot, he mentioned an upcoming interview with IGN. Some of the photos from our session that Sunday were used to illustrate the interview on November 9, 2007 titled The Music of Empire Earth III
