The Beast Has Been Unleashed!!!!!

I am VERY excited to announce that ShockHound.com has officially launched! If you weren't aware, I have been the photographer for ShockHound.com for almost 6 months now. I am their product photographer, so pretty much any photo of, or related to the product was taken by yours truly. I didn't speak much about the job because there wasn't a website you could go checkout. Now there is, so get your butts in gear and go checkout ShockHound.com!! Look up I Shot Chad and add me as a friend!

Slow Dancing at the Orange County Performing Art Center

I was asked by OCPAC (Orange County Performing Art Center) to shoot a special event the OCPAC and KCRW were having on Saturday October 11th at the OCPAC. The event was called Slow Dancing. Click HERE to read all the details on what it was, but it was really cool. I wish you all had gone. DJ Jason Bentley of KCRW was amazing and the art by David Michalek was superb. It was an entirely new way to look at dancing. It was very cool. It would have been a perfect date for those of you with significant others. Anyway, here are some of my photos you will find on the OCPAC page.

I Am Ready for My Close-Up

Somehow I managed to become an extra for the new Black Tide music video last Saturday (Oct. 4th). I saw the band play on Sept. 27th and they made an announcement that they needed some extras, so I figured, why not? I have talked with Zakk, the bass player, and Austin, the guitar player a few times, so I had them trying to figure out a way that I could shoot photos of the video instead of just be an extra. They couldn't figure out who to talk to and since they are on Innerscope Records, it probably would of been hard to make it happen. So, I arrived at Fairfax High School in Hollywood at 11am and sat in the auditorium waiting for my "big break." Around 4pm, my break came. They finally called out the extras. I won't tell you what we did, you will just have to wait for the video to come out. My ears hurt and my neck was sore from head banging. That's all I will say. More than likely you will see my ugly mug in the video, so keep an eye out for it, Black Tide "Shout." I will be the bearded old fart next to all the teenagers, haha!

I snuck in my point-n-shoot camera and took a few photos inbetween takes. Hope you like them.

Crap! I Look Like Kid Rock!

This Sunday was Hot Topic's Manager's Awards Party. We had to go dressed up with futuristic theme. Thanks to the suggestion by Valarie, my co-worker, I went as Kid Rocketman. I was a little disturbed when I looked in the mirror and realized I actually looked like Kid Rock. Scary.

I am NOT Dead!

Well, just so you all know, I am not dead, I have just been swamped. Which is a good thing. So I threw together a few photos of my recent photo adventures. I hope that you like what you see. Hope all is well.
