Fashion should be fun and with my photography I love to create those fun moments.

Travel

JFK > LAX > > JFK > London

AME_0971Sonnyphotos copyAfter finishing Calvin Klein show it was off to the airport to go to Los Angeles. This is the only photo I took as the sun set, so by the time we boarded it was dark and landed in LA at 10:30 pm USA_6627Sonnyphotos31 hours later and back at LAX to fly back to New York to catch flight to London USA_6628Sonnyphotostake off USA_6629SonnyphotosVenice and Santa Monica USA_6631SonnyphotosHigh above metropolitan Los Angeles USA_6634Sonnyphotoswith Big Bear mountain range coming up USA_6635Sonnyphotosthick cover over Pomona area USA_6637Sonnyphotoscoming up to Big Bear USA_6638Sonnyphotos USA_6641Sonnyphotoswith some snow on the range, but does not look like ski-ing condition USA_6643Sonnyphotoslooks awesome with those clouds rolling over from the valley USA_6644Sonnyphotos USA_6647Sonnyphotosonce you clear this range, it becomes a desert and this mountain range is pretty much on the big fault line in this earthquake prone area USA_6649Sonnyphotoswould be great to do a time lpse vidoe USA_6650Sonnyphotosyou know, like this  USA_6651SonnyphotosWas so tired from being up at Tom Ford show till 1 am , and then needing to be at airport at 5am, after that mountain range I went to sleep and did not wake till plane was ready to descend into New York, and woauw, just arrived into a snowstorm USA_6653SonnyphotosIt has just rolled in from across the river  USA_6658Sonnyphotos USA_6659Sonnyphotos USA_6662Sonnyphotossnow building on the roof of the plane USA_6667Sonnyphotoswill probably get worse USA_6669Sonnyphotosbuilding on our wing, just from taxing to the gate USA_6672Sonnyphotos USA_6674Sonnyphotossame view from the lounge about 42 or so hours ago, but looking a little different now USA_6676Sonnyphotos3 hours later boarded on plane, waiting to taxi, but problem with on board computer. Cut a long story short, 2 hours on plane waiting for computer, does not fix, so all off the plane, back to lounge, try to get on another flight as I have shows starting in London at 9am and flight was scheduled to land at 6 am so was already cutting it fine.  Not allowed to change flight as I have checked luggage ( so... get it off the plane and put it on the other plane, we just all got off the plane and waiting for another plane, so bags have to come off anyway ! ) but no dice. 1o hours later still no departure, so now, not only have I missed some shows, but I was also employed to shoot the women show for Paul Smith at 4pm, so needed to be there at the latest 3pm, plane now not scheduled to land till about 3:30 .( Ended up landing at 4pm ) SO not happy, and then to make things worse, bags were did not even make it on the plane, even though we sat there after 2nd boarding, for 3 hours on the plane, waiting for catering, and it does not take 3 hours to take bags of one plane and put them on another plane ( although not all bags, as a lot of passengers did get their bags, strange ) So now as I type this , I still do not have my bags, so I had to buy a lot of equipment to be able to shoot the shows. And I always get travel insurance, bit hey, do  I have the wrong insurance, as covermore does not cover equipment replacement for delayed luggage, only emergency toiletries and clothes, and that only after 24 hours of confirnmed delay, loss of income, not a chance. So even more pissed now :-(
