Daily Word

So it was a pretty interesting week with Mark gone. Being the control freak that I am, I've realized over the last 3 or 4 months how much Mark has taken charge of production. His departure for a week of R & R on the shores of Hawaii left me running the show like old times.

We had a brand new girl fly in for a few days of production and I was immediately reminded of how much Mark actually does. Julia came to us all the way from deep, cold, rural Russia.

Meeting her, you'd never know she was from Russia. Having traveled throughout the world (in fact living all over the world), Julia best described herself and her heritage as 'gypsy'.

Julia's accent was strong but her English perfect. Oddly though, her language bent didn't sound Russian. She'd just been living in Phukett, Thailand and I think all the languages were just starting to blend together.

She spoke five languages, was making a living traveling the globe and working as a fitness trainer. Her and Mark had connected online and unfortunately for him he didn't get to personally witness her finely sculpted abs and derriere.

The day she arrived the wind was whirling and cold rain was pounding down. "Where's the damn California weather I've heard so much about?", she demanded. It was oddly bleak outside after nearly two weeks of 70 to 80 degree weather. We did the entire first day inside with all fireplaces ablaze.

Shooting her it was hard to avoid constant angles of her booty. We realize how valuable a great ass like hers is only when we see one.

Julia became quite comfy with the entire staff and by our last day of production she was making her own lunch in our kitchen. She whipped up a veggie omelet and joined us poolside as the weather was once again California gold.

Julia's energy was great both days. She worked long and hard every minute and by the end proclaimed, "I'm gonna start sleeping on the plane and may never wake up". Meanwhile it was a different but fun adventure for Charles and I as we spearheaded the vision for all the stills and videos. Even JP joined in with some 'B' camera work with both stills and videos.

Shrouded by production chaos I'm at the helm again (enjoy it while it lasts old man)

Today, as I write this we're back to our toasty winter. We (the staff) just played hoops in the driveway---it must have been 80 again. Mark returns on Monday. I'm sure he'll be rejuvenated and ready to go. And once again, I'll yield control to my first officer.

Stayed tuned for some very satisfying Julia stills and video.
