PWS – A Playtime Memorial Day Weekend Edition (Rest in Peace John Rettie)

OK, that was the song in the song Like You by Camaro. It's a French group and a French song with a little bit of English mixed in there. I don't believe I was recording at the very top of the hour, so I'm going to go ahead and repeat myself. You can let me know if you heard me earlier. But you may not have, but I just avoided it. A big error. So I was just letting you in on that. But yeah. Happy Memorial Day, guys and dolls. You're listening to Holy Time with Sandra Radio and brought to you courtesy of blog Talk Radio and nakedgirlsradio.com. Post this Sandra London and it is Sunday May 27th, 2000. Yeah, so I hope everybody's having a fantastic weekend. I had a fun weekend so far, kind of chilling as usual, but I also did a massive walk around the beach and the boardwalk with Capitol and Tow, and I'm sure you had a good time. He's sleeping quite peacefully. Right now, the next to me for tonight's episode, I will be having a special guest by the name of John Reddy, a British writer and photographer that I've actually known since I was 19 years old. So yeah, this should, this should be pretty fun. So he'll be joining me a bit later on. Throughout, throughout the broadcast, I will go ahead and play a song for you now, and I'll be back with music news, a couple ****** stories, and a live reading of one or more of Charles Bulair. One of my absolute favorite French writers from a collection that you have from Lefler Dumal, The Flowers of Evil, but wanted to go ahead and give you a sign real quick and. I will talk to you again very, very soon, but let's go ahead and put on. I'll do break you by X Factor. Here you go.

That was The X Factor bringing you their song Break You. There's a lot more where that came from on nakedgirlsradio.com. And yeah, I just heard everything's all good. So you can hear me now. I want to apologize for last week. I did the entire show where somehow everything got all mixed up. So like all the pre recorded stuff that was in my studio played, but everything I did like I've read those stories. Red Charles Butler, I read like two or three of his poems and all sorts of commentary that solar eclipse, yadda yadda. And yet Dead Space. So sorry about that, but I'll be sure to. Not let that happen again to the best of my abilities. Anyway, first news item of the evening that I wanted to share was I guess a big congratulations to Dario Franchitti who just won his third ND 500. So I guess this wasn't was the 96th. Edition of the Indianapolis 500 motor race. And he plays first. And I guess during the final stretches, he sort of traded the lead with Tony Kanaan and Scott Dixon, but he was able to pull through just like he did in 2007 and 2010. So congratulations, Stereo Franchitti. Second bit of news here in California I guess. On the outskirts of California, between California and Invada there was a 3.8 earthquake. I don't believe there's much damage but I can check and make sure if anybody wants to know. And third, before my next bit of either music or erotica, I gotta see. But anyways, the last bit of news in this segment like to share is happy birthday to the Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge has just turned 75 today and so. In honour of the bride's birthday, a new project was launched to the public called the Solar Beacon. So people will actually be able to go to the Golden Gate Bridge website and to the Solar Beacon and, you know, choose they can sign in and choose where they want the two. Bright, bright, bright lights to shine from the bridge throughout the city. So that's kind of cool. And I guess it was built in 1930 or opened in 1937 anyways. And it took four years to construct and claimed the lives of 11 men and almost claimed. 13 more, but they were saved by a safety net. So All in all, we have this beautiful bridge in San Francisco and it gets to celebrate its golden oldies. So well, let's move along. I'll give you another song here real quick and perhaps some erotica that I'll go ahead and play. Song. How darts? I'll play freak show. Yeah, I'll do that freak show. Bye, Cheech Marley. Featuring Tone Yates. There you go.

That was Freak Show by Cheech Marley featuring Tony Yates. So I have a new audio erotica **** to share with you. It's new and idea visual or I guess ohh audio and visual form, but you'll be able to hear it first. Umm it's been written and it was on their website to live and grinds in la.com back. With blogging via WordPress, but I did actually record myself reading it wearing the sexy like silver. Short dress with fishnet stockings and boots. And yeah, if you've seen the, uh, what was it, Ted? The Ted Nugent Stratus left dance thingy video that I did a while back? That silver dress. Yeah, it's that one. And so, yeah, you'll be able to hear it. You'll do a be able to hear the pond and it is called captured, and so I'll be playing it for you now in audio form up for the first time ever. Here you go. It captured my gaze with your long brown hair. You captured my chest when I felt her stir within. She's dropping free now, my dear. Kisses she is. She wants me, she wants me. She quivers For your car. My tongue. Well, the reminiscence. Upon a delicious, savoury, salty, sweet whisper of your life. I slowly. But my eyes. Even when you're out of sight. My eyes, they paint a picture whenever tension begins to spill. In my bedroom. In the dark. In my car. In my dreams. I see you sucking you. Like no ****** ******* other. And you take that ship. And you own it. It's yours. That was captured when I actually wrote that. I was writing it like a stream of consciousness style while it was actually having a Facebook chat. So yeah, that's where it came from. And, and I hope you guys like that. Let me go ahead and give you another song now, and then I'll go ahead and do one of those live readings from Monsieur Charles Butler, one of the best French authors ever. Shortly after that, but I'll go ahead now and play. Let's get down there. I'll play the out crowd. By Kyle Young. Here you go. OK, scratch that. Let's say the excuse by Kyle Young. Let's try that one. Here we go.

That was the excuse by Kyle Young. Alrighty, so I'll go ahead and do a live reading now. And I've won of blood layers works called the desire to paint. OK. Alright. I'll go ahead and start. No. Unhappy perhaps is the man, but happy the artist who is torn with this desire. I burned to paint a certain woman who's appeared to me so rarely and so swiftly fled away like some beautiful, regrettable thing the traveler must leave behind him in the night. And it's already long since I saw her. She is beautiful, and more than beautiful, she is overpowering. The colour black preponderates in her. All that she inspires is nocturnal and profound. Her eyes are two caverns where mystery big Roosters and gleams. Her glance illuminates like a ray of light. It is an explosion and a darkness. I would compare her to a black sun if one could conceive of a dark star overthrowing light and happiness. But it is the moon that she makes 1 dream of most readily. The Moon, who has without doubt touched her with her own influence. Not the white moon of the idols who resembles the cold bread. That the sinister and intoxicating moon suspended, and the depths. Of a stormy night. Among the driven clouds. Not the discrete, peaceful moon who visits the dreams of pure men. But the moon torn from the sky. Conquered and revolted, that the witches of Deathly hardly constrained to dance upon the terrified grass. Her small brow is the hesitation of a tenacious will. And the love of prey. And below this in quiet face, whose mobile nostrils breeze, and the unknown and the impossible. Glitters with an unspeakable grace. The smile of a large mouth. Why red? And delicious. A mouse that makes 1 Dream of the miracle of some superb flower on clothing and a volcanic land. There are women who inspire one was the desire to wood and get and one them. But she makes one wish to die slowly then use her steady gaze. That was the Desire to paint by Missio Charlotte Butler, and he's an Aries. Isn't that awesome? So I yay cool. So anyways, let me go ahead and give you ohh. Another slightly longer robotic story of mine, and then I'm gonna get my longtime photographer and dear, dear friend John Reddy on the line and we can have this interview. But let me go ahead and give you. I'll give you my Bloody Mary. Here you go. Vivian, where you think you're going? I'm right here soon. What do you want from me? I haven't seen Rosemary since Friday night. Last I knew she was with you. Ohh. Ohh all you could say is ohh don't ******* keep secrets from me. What have you done with my heart? You think I have something to do with her being so suddenly in a? Maybe I should be asking you Mr. Don't get cute with me. Cut the ****. Tell me where she is. This is no time for your silly little mind games. And why are you wearing a necklace I gave her? You really want to know? Of course I do. Fine. If you must know. I'll tell you. I found her in the bath. Legs blade over the rim of the tub. Her red hair shaves and stubbly over her plump vaginal lips. Her other lips were brew. A shockingly essential shade of Violet. Your fingers. Or clenched tightly. Grasping at something unknown. But. Decidedly. And invited. Those eyes. I chose not to take more than a passing plan. They had obviously seen it all. But. They're stuck. Dictated. Capturing it me. Forever more. And you're judging me? If they continue to do that. Why are they still? Shall I put them out? Ohh, no, it's Mary. Rosemary. Rosemary. Even in death, she likes me. It's just, you know, coming soon. Snapfish. I just can't help the fact. But I love you. So that was My Bloody Mary, which is the story that I wrote last year while I was on vacation in Montecito, CA. So yeah, alrighty, let me give it an introduction to my guest that will be joining me on the air here on Playtime with Sandra Radio. John Reddy is his name, and he's an internationally known writer and photographer with more than four decades of experience. He covers. The auto industry, motor racing and more recently reviewing digital cameras, computers and web technologies. And he also is a glamour photographer, and I first met him when I was in College in Santa Barbara and I was about 19 years old. There are good times. It's officially been a decade. So yeah, I'll go ahead and get him on the air for you right now. Uh, I'm gonna give him a call. One moment

Hello. Hello John, how are you? It's me, It's Sandra London playtime with Sandra Radio, Rise and Shine. How are you? I'm doing pretty good. I had a nice, nice, long, long, long walk with my dog on the beach. It was fantastic. Did you do anything to celebrate Memorial Day weekend? No, not really. I just didn't do my usual work, hard work or anything, and so just sat around and read the newspaper and relaxed. Ohh. OK, well since you cover like motor racing and all these types of things where you like watching the indie 500 whichever. Yeah, I watched the Indy 500 and I also set my alarm at 5:00 this morning. Monaco Grand Prix. Ohh, that lying in bed and that, that was a good race. Actually, who won that one? Mark Webber from Australia and the Red Bull. And it was a good race because the the Red Bull sponsored him. Yeah, yeah. So what? Actually, the whole team is called Red Bull. Red Bull is the sponsor of it, also the owner of the team. Ohh. Yeah, it's pretty. They've won the championship the last two years. And here I've got a Red Bull in front of me right now. How you doing? That's what I feel like. I just had a glass of wine instead, so that's the opposite. Hi. Well, you know, I do have a little bit of Cabernet Sauvignon left, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna wait till after the show for that. But yeah. So anyways, I'd like for you to share with my audience a bit about your life and, you know, the types of things that inspired you. Influenced you to become a writer and photographer. So I guess First things first, what made you want to be a writer? Actually, I thought about this photograph, right? Didn't really want to be a writer, I wanted to be a photographer. And I started out doing. Or motor racing photography and glamour photography and then got into rock'n'roll photography. And then after doing photography for, I don't know, four or five years, I realized that I'd have to start writing to help sell the photographs, so I became a writer as well. OK, so then is that were you studying photography or writing in college? Because I was doing my little, my little background research and I saw that you attended the University of Leeds. And so like, is this something totally unrelated to your actual lifelong career? Where you kind of already headed that way in the first place? No, no, it was totally unrelated. I studied civil engineering and got bored with that. I got bored with all the math, and I really wanted to be a photographer. So I followed my dream instead of my official career path, I guess you could say. E-mail for that. Yeah, OK. Hi. And then I'm not sure. Sorry, I'm not sure if you have like the show playing in the background right now or not. And you're like, I'm sorry, a small, small echo. No, sorry, what? Do you, do you have my show up right now and you're like computer? No. Ohh, OK, maybe it's just me. Alrighty, we're back online. Alright, so when did you first like move from the UK to the States and as you start out in California or did you live somewhere else first? Well, it was it wasn't an overnight thing. I came here. Believe it or not, makes me sound really really old. I came here in 1969 for the summer. 2020 years old and I bummed around the country in a greyhound bus. And I started out in New Jersey, actually Newark, NJ, where I worked for seven weeks and then. When they cross the country and ended up in Southern California and fell in love with Southern California so decided to come back the following year, which I did and spent five months here. And that really started my career because that's when I got into photography. Motor racing and which I've done a bit of before in England, but it really started then. Have you ever been to like, what is it, Willow Springs race track out here? I think it's like Roseman area. That's the only like official, official, official that like race track type of thing I've ever been to, I think ever. Oh, really? I didn't know that. Yeah. No, I've been there many times. In fact, that's the that's the place. I've only only. The only place where I've competed in a race myself. He really on the circuit, Yeah, yeah, I did a race there back in. Oh, I don't know about 1977. I guess a mini rice and the driving a mini and I qualified last. I started last, I finished last, but I wouldn't like last I got a trophy. Ohh, right. I yeah, I I would cheer from the crowd. Ohh hey, I would've cheered you on had I been. You know, on Earth at the moment. Being born. Yeah, right. Yeah, I find it after that. But yeah, no, I actually, I was there for like the summer of my freshman year of college. I helped out with just like the concession stand with a girlfriend of mine. So we were helping, you know, moisturize and hydrate the racers. Yeah, the driver at the motorists out there. But it was, it was fine. But yeah, it lasted about it about a summer. And then I don't think I've ever been back I've since then. Although it would be fun to kind of. Check it out. Yeah, I've been, Yeah, I've been there many times since and I've test driven cars around there but not actually competed in a race. Umm. So yeah, I've been there. Ohh. I mean, I've said I used to go there at least once or twice a year, but I haven't actually been there for a couple of years now. Umm, but yeah, I've driven around there many times and I've gone off roading there as well. I even took my son there to go to a school for a teaching teenagers to drive. Wow, I didn't even know they offered all that. Well, everybody listening in, if you're in California and you wanna have somewhere where you might be able to do your own. Test drives or what? Private racing or teaching? Teaching people how to drive. Go to Willow Springs. That's absolutely true. You're right. They have classes there for teaching to drive, teaching teenagers, and then they have what are called track days, when you know people can bring any cars they want to race around the track. Yeah, I think that's what I was there for. Right. Cool, yeah. They have stuff going on almost every weekend and many days during the week. Pretty busy busy place. Well maybe like the next time you plan on going, let me know so you can like take some pictures of me. Well, they let me go nude. On the race track I stand in the center and be like 321 go and just feel like a flag between my boots. The body sneaker picture to him. I've done that at off-road races but not at a Rd. OK, well, I think we're all leather then. Right. Like, yeah, as long as I'm close, maybe I can do it. Please say yes. OK, so I guess tell, tell my listeners I guess and me because I'd be curious to know what your your first impression of me was when you met me at the child age of 19. 19 Were you that young? I thought you were at least 20. You pretended to be 20. Umm ohh, I thought you were gorgeous and you were a good model. And I was always interested in photographing again. And then we did, we did another photo shoot, what, a year later. And then I've photographed you many times since then. And hopefully many more times. Yes, I would like to do that. Your favorite models. Oh, Oh well, for everybody listening in, he owns the domain Glamour, photos.com, and there's. Pictures of me on there and there's also pictures of Puma suede and I've actually going through some of the other models and stuff that are on there and I think Avion Baptist is gorgeous. She's beautiful. I don't know how I feel to see her pictures beforehand, but I like her pictures a lot and. There's some really sexy ones of Puma suede, so if anybody wants to check that out and just go to. Ohhglamourphotos.com The one on the. Is like priceless I really really like that one ohh my goodness actually have a color right now let's see maybe they want to tune in and add some some thoughts let's see hold on let's go ahead and. Umm hello, this is playtime with Sandra Radio. Sandra speaking. Hello. Call or I can't hear you. OK, well call her. Trying to call back again if you can, but I can't hear you at the moment. Ohh. Alright. Yeah, I I couldn't hear them, but maybe they'll call back and the guest call in number is 85881523. Three color, please feel free to call again, umm, and maybe we can hear you this next time around. But yeah, I have like plenty more questions about you and definitely want you to share with my listeners about a lot of the rock'n'roll musicians you've photographed and all this kind of stuff. But I'm gonna go ahead and play a. Song real quick. So are you fine? You can stay with me on the line here. Ohh awesome. Alrighty so I will play. I'll play halfway home by assimilation. And here we go.

t was the song Halfway Home by Assimilation. More of their music is available on nakedgirlsradio.com. All right, Mr. Sir. John Ritchie, Sir, are you still there? Are you? The very nice always. OK, so before we go into talking about, umm, the Rock'n'roll typographies done, which is pretty darn impressive, I just wanted to ask you one more question about cars, if that's OK. OK, OK, what's like the most exotic car? That you've ever been able to test drive in your opinion? Well, exotic, I guess, would be the Lamborghini Aventador that I drove just a couple of months ago in Santa Monica. The $300,000. Sports car which looks like a Batmobile. Got to borrow it for two hours. I forwarded from West LA and drove it to a luncheon meeting I had in Santa Monica and drove around the block a few times and took it back. You didn't take it along PCH Pacific Coast Highway? Well, I'd lights are dumb, but you know, trouble is I couldn't, I really couldn't drive it any faster than I could in Santa Monica. Umm, the the silly thing is really loud, exotic cars like that, they're just as much fun to drive at slow speed around town as they are out in the mountains. Because. You get to hear the engine and, you know, you just need to show off. You can see everybody's expression on their face. Yeah, that sounds. Was it like, was it all black, like true Batmobile style, or was it like, yeah, it was all black and fat? It was a matte black finish. Really. Yeah. It's really like a Batmobile. OK, alright. Note to self, a note to you. You gonna call me when you're driving around in the Lamborghini Batmobile? You when I had it. Well, I did call you when I had a Ferrari, but you weren't around and you couldn't meet with me. Otherwise, yeah, I'd love to take you for riding in one of those cars. I just want to lay on it. Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, you could have laid on it being a meaning matte black finished wouldn't have caused any scratches or anything else. OK, because you don't have any sharp points in your body anyway. Alright, well, well then the next time you're in LA and you call, be sure to note, you know, advise me of exactly what kind of car you're rolling in. I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the the vapid ex valley girl and. Be like what kind of car It came busy washing my hair. Ohh the devil you say, I'm suddenly free. Yeah, I'm just kidding. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I missed your call. And when you're in the Ferrari, was that red? Was it red? Ohh, Ferrari has to be right here. Ohh. Nice. It was. Was it right? Was it yellow? No, it was red. It was red. Yeah, I've got the yellow one. Umm, you know what? I I did actually get to it. OK, sorry listeners, I'm gonna go to the rock'n'roll stuff and the glamour model stuff. Promise, promise that I'm little. I'm a little excited right now. Sorry, but what, what do you call it? I did actually get to test drive a a yellow Corvette. Like OHH, back in I think it was October, so September, October, and that was awesome. It was so much fun and it was definitely like Transformers style. I have for like maybe a week and didn't want to give it back. So like the the what was it rental Remember which hurts or one of those. I'm like, I'll keep it, I'll keep it, keep charging, keep. But I know it's kind of like, don't you feel or are you tasting intimidated by cool cars like when they're especially extravagant like. Every little possibility of a nick or scrape just. Does that unnerve you or are you just like, whatever? Yeah. It's yeah, you do. You do have a, umm, extra sense of responsibility and worry about that, which is why I, I personally like driving small, smaller cars which are not terribly exotic, but handle well and go well and you can just drive them fast and have great fun. Like a Mini Cooper S or a ohh, I don't know, Mazda Miata, you know, before before. BMW Z4, that's my favorite, pretty much, yeah. Yeah, but the the gun metal silver ones, those are awesome. Right, right. Anyway, OK, yes, yes, onto the rock'n'roll. OK, so you have like a pretty stellar resume as far as that goes. Would you like to share with my listeners a couple of the major musicians we've been able to photograph in your time as a photographer? Yeah, yeah, no, I was very lucky. I was at, as Sandra said earlier on, I was at University of Leeds in England back in 1968691970 and I got to photograph several rock'n'roll groups when they performed at the university and one of them had them be The Who. And it happened to be The Who Live at Leeds LP, which has become since then. One of the most popular if not famous live recording so I was very fortunate to photograph them, but the photographs and backstage and met them as well. And then were they nice? They're cool. Yeah, yeah, another cool. And then I remet them about five years ago and showed them the photographs they took back then. And Roger Daughtry in particular was already keen to see them and ask me about who the other people were in the picture and so on. Also got a photograph. Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Ginger Bakers, Air Force Cream. So it was. It was a good time. All in about a six month.. There are all those famous British rock'n'roll groups, all while studying civic engineering, right? Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And doing photography on the side for the university newspaper. And that's when I decided I wanted to become a photographer. And initially I was going to become a rock'n'roll photographer, but in the end I decided that photographing mud racing was more more fun than photographing rock'n'roll groups. Well, I believe that probably because most concerts are like in the dark, right? Yeah, yeah, they're in the dark and you can't hassle by security and so on and so forth. And an elbow. They all all the the crazy fans. Yeah. To hang on to you had a group he hang on to me once because I was her ticket into the concert. As soon as I got into the concert, she disappeared backstage. Umm, see, at first I was going to be like, well, how is the group you have bad thing? And then yeah, the end of that story. That that explains it explains it. Cool. So have you have you ever covered the Monaco Grand Prix or helping the twice way way back in? Well, actually not well, yeah, it was way back in 19. 731985 twice I've been there. Umm, one of the ones I'd love to go back to again because it's really exotic, you know, you get to, well, last time I went there I got to go to a party on the, on the yacht and the harbour, which is always great. Fun thing with the, the posh people. Also, have you actually have you heard of? Umm, it's like this mega yacht that's in Marina del Rey by like a Russian owner and it's a Russian owner who owns it. I forget what it's called, like Serene or something like that. It's like a huge mega yacht. So have you like, have you kept your eyes open for like, you know, stateside yachts you can climb aboard? Or well, yeah, I haven't, I haven't been on one here, but there was a Russian owned mega yacht that was here last year, Corday, just a capital A because I don't think it's not the same one. That same Marina del Rey now. Yeah, I gotta look that one up soon. Umm. OK. Yeah. Thank you, Sir. So. So I live in Santa Barbara and that's where I saw this one last year. I guess it was on its way from San Francisco down to Marina del Rey. Might be the same one. Ohh, really changed their names? I mean, I'm gonna have to look that one for a yacht. Really. Huh? I gotta, I gotta, I'll look into it and I'll let you know and I'll, I'll post about it. Uh, listeners, I'll post about it on my blog. I'm gonna, that's cool. Alrighty. I guess they're moving along, I guess to glamour photography. Did you do that originally alongside motor racing? Or did it happen that afterwards, once you got fully established with? Uh, well, no, actually actually believed or not glamour photography. I've outside started doing first of all, I was I was 17 and I. Uh. The girl who was 17 as well. Wants to do some modelling so I took some photographs of her in lingerie on my parents bed when my parents were away for the weekend and and then I photographed her younger sister as well who actually went on to be a model in. Mayfair and England, which is like Penthouse. Umm, and so and then I photographed a I worked as a temporary job As for the Post Office 1 Christmas when I was well, yes, that was when I was 17 and photographed the the beauty queen, the Miss Miss. Miss post office temper I think and name was or something. But yeah, then I photographed models. See as well, actually, let me get this straight. OK, so for for Britain, I suppose. Umm like Miss post office? Are they like allowed to be true glamour models or sort of like bikini models like where the contestants like able to where it would be topless at all? Or was it all like how cute they look in their postal big? Ohh, yeah. No, it was, it was just, it was just every Christmas they had all these temporary post office workers. And, you know, there were probably, I don't know, 50 or so. And half of them were, you know, guys and half were girls. And they have this contest for the the prettiest girl and she was missed. Post office temporary but wasn't even bikini. I mean it was, you know, just a pretty portrait and address or whatever. Umm. Yeah. Is there like a nice post office and Mr. Post Office, or was it like just the fairest of them all? Because I don't think a guy would ever win if he has to go up against ladies. Right, and don't care. I was interested in maybe they do now. Umm, but at university I photographed a pin up girl. I wince every week. There was two or three of us photographers at university who photographed a pin up girl every week. And so that was that was in, you know, sexy dress or bikini, not topless. See, I did that as well. So that's why I got into doing glamour photography. When I was 17 years old and they did it at university and we've done it ever since. Umm, so let's let's the raciest shoot, I guess, and Bruce that you've ever done. Or the the most the wildest concept? Wildest concept? They say over the radio, how much can I say live? It goes in. Is that forever now? I've done some pretty exotic shoots. Well, you know, they have done something. Some of you've been in them. I know I've been in. Yeah, right. I, well, I, I remember. OK, one, one of the one of the most memorable. I don't even know how many times I've shot with you actually, Sir. But I remember one, it was in Vegas. And this is when both, umm, let's see, you're shooting me and you're also shooting a beautiful. Uh, a black model, that name is Lavita. Umm, So I remember, I remember that we didn't actually shoot together, but she came, you know, to the Vegas hotel room to shoot and she's super awesome. But I think I had pictures taken of me, like in the bathtub. Umm, and the bathroom. Umm yeah, sitting on the yeah, this is this is fun. I remember this one quite clearly. Umm, I actually probably should get like those pictures recent so I can like showcase them. On my website, but yeah, moving along other than that one umm for you, but I'm still waiting for one of your stories that you can send my send my edit. You have to edit too much. I just label this as the mature show, but I mean. We we have I, I would hope that my listeners haven't haven't imagination. I believe they do so. Well I've I've photographed, I mean couple of science photographed 2 girls sort of getting sexy with each other and playing with each other, which is always fun. Um, went through them, got really. Really sexy together. And then one of them who never photographed with another model before, she suddenly turns in, says OK, that's enough, put the camera down, I don't want any more pictures taken. But she continued to be friendly with the other girl. That was fun to watch. But I had to turn the camera off. OK, so that was for your eyes only. Nice. Alrighty. So which which locations and do you like to shoot? In our ads are on UMM, I know, I know with you have shot umm actually where that Puma Slade picture was taken on the railroad. I know I shot there with you, which is kind of near Carpinteria, California. I've shot a ton with you and Santa Barbara area. Uh, Vegas and a bit in LA but like, what is your like all time favorite location for shooting a beach? Umm. Yeah, I would say on the beach general, generally speaking though, you know, hotel room is a nice exotic hotel room is pretty good because you can control the light and it, you know, you can use the bathtub and there's a lot of stuff there I've, you know, liked out a couple of times with the suite with a. Nice big bathtub and that's always fun to shoot in. Shooting in a plain studio is pretty boring. Umm. And location shoots other than the beach, you know, the trouble is you got to be so careful. You know, can't really shoot somebody naked very easily because you get chased off or caught by the police or you gotta have a permit and, you know, stupid things like that. It's much more difficult to shoot nowadays than it used to. Because people are so uptight about photographers. So shooting on the knife secluded beach where you can be naked without having to worry about any. Umm, it's fun. I do remember once I was shooting a girl naked on the beach in, well, it actually was in Carpinteria and this is about 20 years ago. They were shooting her, and she was jumping around in the waves, totally naked and so on. And I was taking pictures of her. And then we finished the shoot and she said, by the way, did you know that we had four cops watching us from the Cliff above? Oh, you're kidding me. Said, why didn't you tell me? Said, why? Didn't want to because you'd probably be put off by it. And I said, well, that's true. I guess 1 Cup appeared, looked over, saw what was going on, he called another cop over and then obviously they got on the radio and called another cop car down and the four of them watched for a while. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of it, but she enjoyed it. Infection. It was just an inspection. They didn't do anything about it, so that was all right. There you go. Well, I know, I know once we shot, uh, what was it? Lacosta and in Lacosta, California, I'm not it's like on the way to San Diego. I believe it's officially, I believe it's in San Diego County, if not just outside of it, but that place is amazing like that. The hotel is like fantasyland so it looks like some Italian like. Below, like beautiful. I don't know, did you like do you like shooting there? Do you remember it's me and another another sexy model. Yeah, yeah. Umm. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, There was another mother. What is your friend of yours, isn't it? Yes. Yes, she is. Well, I don't know if she wants to give her name for a minute. I'm gonna keep that out of it. She's gorgeous, beautiful, beautiful girl. And that was a lot of fun. I've actually been, I think I've been to Lacosta maybe three or four times in total. Umm, and that's just fantastic. I don't know, but umm, let's see. Let me go ahead and play. Either umm, one of my ****** stories or on. Let's see, where is my list? Umm. Umm. Sorry. OK, how about I do? Yeah, I'm gonna do this song and then I'm going to pick out some sexy erotica and I'll be right back with you once again. Umm, But let me go ahead and play. Umm. I'll play. Tell me again. Bye Collabo and. Here we go. Tell me again.

Umm. OK, that was tell me again. Bye Collabo. Hello, Sir John. Ready, Sir. Are you there? Emceed Madam. Yes, awesome. OK, so I had an idea, so I read. Yeah, I was so red. Umm, uh, the desire to paint by both Blair earlier and, umm, now. I've found a lovely sonnet by Labard, Sir Shakespeare himself, so I can read that. What? How do you think that sounds that cool? Is that fine? That's cool. Nice. OK, listen, I have to comment or I have to read with you. Oh, do you know by heart it's son at 43? No, I don't. Yeah, OK. Yeah, you can. Just at school. I I like him. I don't know. OK, well, yes, then you can just listen. OK, it's not very long, I'll listen. Ohh. Alrighty, I'll go ahead and do it. It's umm, Sonnet 43. Alrighty, I'll start now. When most I wink, then do my knives dusty for all the day they view things unrespected, but when I sleep and dreams they look on me and darkly bright or bright and dark directed then thou her shadow shadows. Doss McBride. Howard, those shadows form happiest show to the clear day, With thy much clearer light, When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines. So how would I say mine eyes be blessed made by looking on me and the living day? When in third night thy fair and perfect shade through heavy sleep on sightless eyes Just stay all days are nights to see till I see the and night bright days when dreams do show near me. That was a sign at 43 by the Bard. Shakespeare, the End. Hmm. OK, your cat doesn't have to have your tongue anymore. My tongue in my cheek. Ouch. Oh oh. The same people. So there you go. Let's do that. You want to. That's fine, I guess. It's the first time I've ever gotten dead silence. What the heck, man? I'm Holland, erased and like, flushed. I can always visualize it. What happened? I can visualize you blushing. Which? Which cheeks? Which cheeks are? Are you visualizing anyway? Visualized. I'm putting you to sleep, aren't I? It may not so. No, I love. Who's voice? The voice of a ghost. I'm not even here. Oh, OK. The recording. Ohh yeah, perfectly timed recording. So. So you mean I had you speechless? Is that what? Is that what you. Intended for. Yeah. Just imagine imagining you. OK. So OK reading the Bard. I mean, you know, it's just very sexy. Umm. Well, it's hard to hear you say that's hot, yes. Anyways, moving along. So, umm, what do you miss most about the UK or. Uh, life in Europe in general? If anything. Well, yeah, I mean, it's, it's difficult. I miss little things here and there. Umm, I, I guess it's partly just conversations with people going to the pub, you know, as a, as a social thing. I mean, I didn't go to the pub every evening, but it was nice to go once, twice a week. But you know, bars here are not the social thing that they are in England and Europe. I don't miss the weather. I love California weather. The reason why I moved here? Ohh yes the weather is kind of tragic over there sometimes. Yeah, so I guess they're having a heat wave in England right now. It's actually warmer there than it is here. Well, you know, when I, when I was there for a few days, uh, last year after, umm, the European summit in Prague, it was actually unseasonably warm there and back then because it was actually, was it September, late September, and it was very, very, very funny. Umm, which I don't think is always the case since September anymore, but. Yeah, umm, let's see. And what, what do you like? What do you like most? And what do you hate most about California life? Well, I mean that. I mean, as I said before, the weather, the weather is a nice thing. The scenery is great. California. The lifestyle here is, well, this is pretty. I mean, it's good. Yeah, of course the lifestyle here is good. My family is here. So you know, that's. That's important. What do I like least about it? Well, I mean, you can say silly things like the traffic on the freeway, but the traffic on the freeway here is better than the traffic on the auto routes in France or Germany or England. So I can't complain about that, really. Arguably so. Well, I remember. Umm, uh oh goodness. What was it? Umm, along the channelize at the very little roundabout near as well. It was kind of a nightmare. There's not even really lanes or if there are, they're not clearly marked as such. Like it's just that's kind of ridiculous and. Driving in Paris is pointless, but it actually, you know, driven to different, different cities throughout France during like college and grad school and stuff And like it's once you get on the freeway, freeway. It's not so bad at Germany. It was a whole other thing. So it's actually in a Smart car. Umm, probably before they were ever introduced in America. And we're on the Autobahn. And I, I liked it, but my boyfriend's parents were like, you know, full of frights. But there were about five of us crammed in a car. So, you know, a little tiny smart car going, who knows how fast. How many kilometers per hour or whatever. But you know, I I'm not terribly familiar with England traffic only because I usually just wasn't a taxi for the most part. And I do not ever want to drive in in England because being on the whole opposite side in the car that's just like that just throws my entire sense of direction completely. Nearly like hit, got hit by cars like every day when I was out there and just like it's all looked left, right, left. And I look and I'm going and then a car just like out of nowhere, like, OK, so I tended to stay like around Piccadilly Circus or, you know, somewhere where there are tons of people and I was just crossing. She's very just feel like, you know, cars blaring and honking at me and cursing me out. When adventure you, yes, you American tourists in England are notorious for not looking the right way and getting confused by the traffic. But talking to Sharp Salif in Paris? That's one of my favorite roundabouts. In fact, when I went there with my kids first time. Ohh some years ago they said you had to go around the games. I went around twice. And yeah, you get pedestrians and cops walking across the street and they just continue walking and all the cars miss them. It's quite amazing. You had fun doing that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just go for it. You. The whole thing is to not slow down. I'd rather be the the one, like we've been through traffic. I'd rather be the pedestrian weaving through traffic than actually, you know, behind the wheel, like with pedestrians at my mercy on that roundabout that is just asking for trouble. Like I remember, OK, I was there for, I was out there for grad school and I remember. Watching the World Cup, umm, while I was finishing my thesis. And then I wanted to go celebrate on the other side of town. I was living on the right bank, like about a block and a half from the Shawn's house. And I was like, oh, I'll just take a taxi because, you know, everything's going to be crowded with Metro and like all the cars celebrating because France. Just, you know, one against Brazil, I believe, umm and uh, what do you call it? It just took forever, especially around the roundabout and then all the way the entire way. So umm, what was it? Olivia, that area, umm, because everybody was outside of their cars on top, like screaming and yelling and taking their shirts off, getting naked, just like all, all a flurry over the wind. So yeah, sports festivals or any of these kind of things. I'm just going to stay inside. That's not like an 80 year old taxi. The means to get more crazy about it. Why? Says the city? They like their soccer and you are you? Are you a big soccer fan? You like? How far did England usually get? Well, England just won. Chelsea just won an important game against Germany last week, which is I guess is a pretty big surprise everybody. New England England won the World Cup back in 1966, I think. Ohh, my goodness. Well, it's a long time for you, but in the big scheme of things, that's not that long ago. Exactly that that that means I too can also win the World Cup. I mean all, I mean all the time in the world, you know, I'm kidding. I'm just, I'm, I'm being mean actually, like England quite a bit. Umm, although yes, I do fear for my life crossing the street there. But for you, you need to just go to one way streets and then you don't have to worry about. I don't even want to find out where there are. I'll just, I'll just stay in the in the major areas, like four. I'll be umm. Lost in the crowd? How about that? But OK, so umm, let's see. So for any listeners out there who are models and things like that, why don't you tell them, umm, I guess some of your recommended sites where you, umm. I don't know, uh, contact models for photo shoots or things of this sort. Uh, like I don't know one model place, etcetera, which are your go to sites when you're looking for models to shoot. Ohh well yeah, model Model Mayhem is my favorite and that's. You know, it's for, well, actually I guess it's mainly for photographers to find models, but I guess anybody else can go and look at the models and their portfolios and then, you know, one model place is quite good. I tend to like Model Mayhem best. And then there's, umm, there's several others, but those are the main ones. And then I keep track of a lot of models through Facebook. You know, I'm friends with a lot of models on. And sometimes you meet other models through those models. Yes. And the model Mayhem is the one. In fact, I've checked it just yesterday to see the latest models have signed up in, you know, in Santa Barbara area. And there were a couple there. In fact, I should go on right now and check and see if they friended me. I asked them to, you know, I sent a link to them, but you don't. Get a notification back from Model Mayhem if they've actually accepted you as a friend. Umm OK and how about umm, any like model tips? Umm, as far as posing anything to throw out there for beginning models as. Had to help ensure that their photos with their best because I photographer can only do so much but there are ways that models can. You know, cut themselves in their best light. If you have any tips on that and sort of direction you are constantly giving new models that you want to put it up there. And most important thing is to be enthusiastic. Yeah, joy it. Be happy. Relax. Relaxing is sometimes a bit difficult for your new model and just trying out, but that's where the photographer can put you at ease. And I think the first time I met you, I put you at ease and you were relaxed, didn't I? Must have done otherwise you wouldn't wanted me to photograph you again. Ohh sure. So how did you do that? What was your magic? What magic did you work? You have to you, you really have to flirt a little bit with the model. And if somebody from outside is watching in, they're going to think it is flirting. Which is why sometimes when models on the boyfriend to be there or a husband can be a little bit intimidating because they'll see it as a flirting and you know, but an experienced model who has a boyfriend or or husband who understands it, it isn't a problem. Thank you. Got to, you've got to be, you know, you've got to encourage the model. So she looks beautiful and I always tend to not worry about an actual pose. And if a pose isn't looking too good, I won't say that doesn't look good. I just, you know, move on for the next pose. And you know. Most most models, in fact, most girls who want to be models seem to get into the mode and you know they. Thank you, Sandra. You have a, you're a bit of a ham. You like showing, posing. That's the key, key part of it. Oh, oh, I'm not hearing you. Will know that chemistry between the model and the photographers. Important, isn't it? If you don't, if you're not, you don't feel happy around the photography. You're not gonna go good photographs. I agree. Yes, definitely. And that's, you know, that's something you can't control. But some photographers, I mean, I've, I've been very lucky because I, I met a model. Several years ago, black model who was introduced to her by another photographer and she's been doing a shoot with him. And I went to meet her with, with the photographer and so she so she met me and then said, yeah, I'll do a shoot with you. And so we did a shoot a couple of weeks later and photographed naked on the beach. And I said, oh, I thought you didn't know you had money. So I don't mind doing it with you. I feel confident with you and happy with you. You're, you know, you're not scary or anything. And then when the other photographer found out they photographed her naked, she he was quite upset. He said, well she would be naked for me. Because she didn't feel happy around him, she didn't feel confident or I won't say safe. He wasn't unsafe. It's just didn't feel right taking her clothes off with him where she live with me, right? I I would definitely definitely agree that basically the level of comfort that a model feels will determine. Uh, how well, how willing she is to go beyond, uh. You know, just being a standard, you know, during standard poses or doing what she thinks the photographer is looking for. And once that once the comfort level is finished established, you know, model is more likely to go beyond the scope of what they think is required and they just sort of make it up. As they go along and some of those are like often the best photos once that threshold has been reached and surpassed and all that. And I would say that you are definitely, uh, well, yes, definitely one of the photographers that I've known for forever. Instantly makes me feel umm at ease, confidence, umm, willing to sort of experiment with different styles and kind of let go and so umm. Yeah, I suppose. Pulling. Nice to hear. So yeah. Well, that's why I like working with you and you know I I love working with. Umm. You know, doing the show shoots again with the same model because again, you get a comfort level and you know, you, you feel both feel happy with each other. And so, you know, some some models, I mean, you're 1. Sandra is another model in Las Vegas. So I've shot with now for all 12 years. Would you believe? Yeah, 12 paragraph Teresa. And you know, so that's that's always nice as well just to do another shooting. Experiments into different types of stuff, different times, rather than just being A1 offshoot. Right. And sometimes, you know, with. Well, I've worked with, you know, some highly paid models at times and they're kind of boring because they are in their their routine and it's just a job for them almost. And yes, they're good and they're gorgeous looking in some, but there's no real fun involved because they're just doing a job for a couple of hours and they get paid and that's it. Um, and. You know, that's that's a shame sometimes would be nice to build, but who knows who is actually who actually? Umm, I was the contrast, I guess of that as far as like the mega mega models that are just, you know, I don't get out of bed for less than X-ray view per day. Like is there any model in particular who's actually really awesome? Like who was fun and cool who? You know, is is still in that that caliber of what you would think is the cold cool model name and specifically that you like. She's awesome through and through no matter what. Well, yeah, that would be the model Debbie Zulu, who was Penthouse Pet of the Year runner up it way, way back in 1977. And I met her not as a model, but I met her through a friend of mine. MSR as a as a person, not as a model to shoot. And then about six years later, I asked her if she'd do a shoot me. And she said, well, I, you know, charge $1000 a day and I couldn't afford that. And I said, well, you know, I just want one particular picture. And it was a wet look, you know, wet. T-shirt and so so well, how long would it take to shoot? And I thought if we can shoot it at the swimming pool at your house. I could do it in 20 minutes, so I said OK, I'll do it for $100. So I photographed her and got the photograph and every $100 and she was on my calendar. And then the next year, she said I'd like to be on your calendar again. That's well, I can't really afford you again. Ohh. I'd do a free shoot with you. Ohh. Went down to the beach. Yeah, I went down to the beach. Council and photographed her for a couple of hours and she said it was the most fun shoot she'd ever had because there was no art director there, there was no money changing hands, there was no assistance, nobody else. Just the photographer made me the photographer and herself. And then I did not. Shoots with her after that and was still in contact with her now in fact. Hate to say it, she must be in her mid 50s now and she wants to do another shoot with me again sometime. And that's, you know, really, really good compliment. I dig a big shout out to W Zero. And then somebody thinks you're awesome. That's cool. Alrighty, Well, I think we've gone a little bit over for tonight. Soon, but no worries, I've had a great time talking with you this evening.
