Today I pulled a 13 hour shoot for Sony to cover behind the scenes action for the GS Boyz' 2nd song: Booty Dew. In this shot you see the GS Boyz surrounding B-Hamp AKA "Ricky Bobby", They show us how it's done.... The 'Booty Dew,' that is. Nice group of guys.

This afternoon I attended an event at CC Young that featured community arts. Ebby Halliday attended and even played the Ukulele and sang a few songs. I was deeply impressed by her humor and radiant presence. She made a point of reminding me that she is 98 years old...three times! CC Young is a retirement community that rests overlooking Whiterock Lake. They are also beginning to look into the use of video games as a way to engage their residents in a range of activities that will help keep the mind young. More on that to come!

During the month of March 2009 Jorge's exhibition - a prototype - was shown at Eastfield College located in Mesquite, part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
