15/365: Balboa

Had a good time working alongside my friend Brian Oliver today. He was gracious enough to be my subject for today's pic. Brian is a good dude, and a super-talented videographer, editor, screen-writer and actor. More pics and some funny stuff after the jump:

I first met Brian when he basically told me he would be directing my band's first music video. Old friends will remember "Ginseng" I'm sure. If not, give it a peep. A huge time was had by all that day, and Brian and I became friends as we went on to work together on various video productions. Currently, he is starring in a 30 sec Doritos commercial that basically has an 80% chance of airing during this year's Super Bowl. It is really funny, like Dogs Are Funny funny. You can see the spot here, and if you are so inclined, vote for his video. I myself registered so that I could vote, daily, and I have received absolutely no junk mail from Doritos. I would appreciate a bag of Cool Ranch though, in my real mailbox.

Here's some more from the quick photo session:
