This is DJ Sol, an international DJ, who just returned from spinning the rocks off a ridiculously luxurious beach-side wedding in Cabo. The image was created at 5:30am in the South Beach during the Winter Music Conference. Rare vinyl and his own mixes can be found at www.solsoundmusic.com
I recently got contracted to document the future Tony Hawk Foundation celebrity fundraiser events.
In 2007, the exclusive event raised over $1-million for the Tony Hawk Foundation to further its work to bring high-quality, free, public skateparks to kids in low-income communities. Co-chaired by Tony Hawk, Lance Armstrong, Ron Burkle, Benicio Del Toro, Jon Favreau, Leeza Gibbons, Mat Hoffman, Jimmie Johnson, Robert Kotick, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bob McKnight, David Spade, Shaun White, The 1,000 guests enjoyed a family-centric carnival atmosphere, including games and activities, plus a Vert Demo by Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Andy Macdonald, Jean Postec, Mat Hoffman, and Kevin Robinson, and music by Me First And The Gimme Gimmes.
2008 will see me at this and the newly added event to be hosted by P. Diddy somewhere in the Hampton’s this summer.
More info about the Tony Hawk Foundation is available here.
Images from my coverage of the Miss Trannyshack Pageant 2007 appeared on the STYLE page in the Chronicle Sunday!
I recently got a call from my friend Josh who was in LA for the weekend and unable to shoot the TrannyShack Pageant 2007 event in San Francisco, something he’s covered since the beginning.
He told me I would have backstage access and a front row seat in the press box, so could I do the shoot? I thought for a second and then said, “uhhh, sure!” with access like that? why wouldn’t I??
The show was hosted by Heklina, who started Trannyshack at the Stud several years ago. Sandra Bernhard showed up to judge the pageant and delivered a brilliant stand-up. James St. James, one of the original club kids from New York, was also judging, along with last years winner, Ana Conda.
