The Current State of Hollywood

2009-04-03T22:07:00.001-07:00

We wanted to take a moment and give you a number of important updates....
**The following was written by an Agent from CAA to his clients. He described the situation succinctly.
"I know a lot of your are getting antsy to get out more, and frankly many of you are in a tight financial pinch; as such, I wanted to describe to you all the current climate in LA and the factors influencing the current environment.
-SAG STALEMATE: Since the SAG contract expired on June 30, 2008, there have been few to no STUDIO feature films (this does not include companies such as Lionsgate and the Weinstein Company who are not in AMPTP and as such have completion agreements). Some analysts say there are up to 200 feature films on hold. Around September, we started to see a mass movement of film actors to TV projects. Many of my "name" actors have done one-day guest stars (this is very typical right now), and we are seeing a number of Guest Star level actors doing CO-STAR roles. Remember from November of 2007 to March of 2008, due to the Writer's Strike, again there were no feature films shot. So for the film actor, there has only been 4 months of work in the last 17 months. THE BOTTOM LINE: Due to the lack of studio feature film production, BOTH film and TV actors are now competing for a limited number of jobs in the episodic and pilot environments.
-PILOT SEASON: During the Writer's Strike of 2007-2008, Studios adapted and used the void to eliminate pilot season as we know it. Gone are the days of hundreds of pilots. In fact, this year, there are only 67 pilots to have registered for production - of which only about 35 have been green lit for production.
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118000479.html?categoryid=3284&cs=1&query=pilots+casting+2009
And this year, due again to a sagging economy, studios and networks believe that by committing named stars to their projects, they will receive more money from this year's up-fronts from ad agencies. They are banking on star power to leverage better buys at the all important UPFRONTS. So, stars and pop-stars like Richard Dreyfuss, Chevy Chase, Brittany Snow, Elle McPherson, Rebecca Romijn, Ashley Simpson, Scott Caan, Skeet Ulrich, and proven TV talents like Kelsey Grammar, Eric McCormick, John McGinley, Joel McHale, Jenna Elfman,Donald Faison, Maura Tierney, Peter Krauss, Craig T. Nelson, Dax Shepherd, etc.... You do the math, 37 pilots... top stars being sought...
-TV: While TV has been steady, again due to the conflagration of film and named actors doing Guest Starring roles, we have seen a horrible trickle down. Many Guest Stars are now doing Co-stars and Co-stars/Developmental Actors (those with less than 5 primetime credits) frankly are not getting seen much. One CD recently told me that she had over 25 women who would be considered 'working actors' going for a co-star role. BOTTOM LINE: Again, due to the abundance of name and working actors, many less-developed actors are not even being seen right now.
-ECONOMIC IMPACT I - THE EROSION OF QUOTES/RATES: There are really three major impacts to actors during this economic crunch. First, we are seeing the erosion of quotes. Due to the availability of so many talented actors, CD's and Producers are in the driver's seat in negotiations. When they say, "well we got someone else who will do it for less", they ain't kidding. I have spoken to a number of my peers who have confirmed this erosion of pay for their actors. In short, right now, quotes are eroding and for many, the minimum has become the maximum pay.
-ECONOMIC IMPACT II - THE CONCLUSION OF SAG STALEMATE: Many are hoping that with the endof this stalemate, Hollywood will get back to normal. I have to say, that I am not one who necessarily believes this. First off, due to the economic conditions, most studios have lost their millions of dollars from hedge funds; and European, Asian and Middle Eastern money has dried up. Even Stephen Spielberg has had to beg, borrow and steal to get his company financed .... And it wasn't anywhere near what he originally asked for. I believe that, even after the SAG stalemate is over, there is probably not enough money for 50 Studio Feature Films to be done right out of the gate. BOTTOM LINE: While this will help us move towards normalcy, it will not be the cash cow some people think it will be. One side note, is that I expect that more formulaic projects will be down out the gate as Studios will be less likely to take significant risks since most of these projects will be financed by both the studio and their investors. In short, you will see more IronMans, Animation, and SAWs... they are money in the bank when you factor in ratios, etc.
-ECONOMIC IMPACT III - OVERALL STATEMENT OF ENVIRONMENT: It is important that everyone follow the economic conditions closely. I know it is easy to be skeptical over the studios, networks, cablers, production houses, show runners, etc, losing money, but it is a cold-hard fact right now. These entities are truly in a difficult spot. If you have read much lately, there have been dramatic cut backs at every studio and network, from firings to asking show runners to cut between 2-7% of their budgets (not to mention the 25+% cutback shows like the Sarah Silverman were asked to swallow recently). Furthermore, these networks and studios are largely owned by conglomerates who have lost in the billions over the last 6 months. When I attendedNATPE in January, all the talk was how to get 'thinner.' Everything is getting tight. Budgets, Marketing, Staffing, etc., and this will undoubtedly impact the actor. Also, the foreign sales market (where much of the TV and Film money is made, is being hit hard by the erosion of the US Dollar. So these entities are not able to recoup the costs they were in better days by the one-time explosion of the foreign markets. BOTTOM LINE: The economic conditions are forcing the industry to be as 'thin' as possible.
-COMMERCIALS - INDUSTRY AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS: One analyst said last year, that 2008 was the worst commercial market since maybe 1974. I would not argue with this. Think about it: three of the top products/services for ad agencies are banks, cars and other financial services - all of which were struck down in 2008/early 2009 by this recession. This was confirmed when news struck that even the Super Bowl did not sell out advertising this year. The good news is that the advertising industry tends to be one of the first ones to be negatively impacted by a recession, but one of the first to grow as the recession moves to an end as advertisers of products want to start accumulating market share before the turn of the economy. Another impact relates to the overall conditions of the TV/FILM/PILOT situation. Many strong actors have made enough money on TV/FILM, etc so that they have not had to do commercials in years. Due to the last few years and the lack of work, many top actors are now back in the commercial market; thus again, causing a logjam in casting. BOTTOMLINE: The economic slowdown has caused a dramatic decrease in ad sales and the lack of work has caused more actors to re-enter the commercial market.
THE GOOD NEWS!!
Okay, so that is where we are today. You know me, I try to always call it straight as I see it. So, I am not going to sugar-coat this either. I anticipate that 2009 will be a tough year overall for actors (and agencies). First off, the economy will not likely get straightened out until at least the 3rd to 4th quarter of this year and so all the factors above will remain in place through most, if not all, of 2009. Secondly, until the labor situation gets straightened out, we will not be seeing dramatic amount of film production, and this seems to be dragging along as well (as we enter the 8th month of the stalemate - it was announced today that SAG is thinking now about taking AMPTP to court for anti-trust violations). But again, even if it was finalized, there is not enough investor money to see the film production level normalize and increase for most, if not all, of 2009. Also, since movies cost around $40 for two (tickets, popcorn, etc) - this is not a recession proof field anymore. During our last significant recession, there were few choices for guilty pleasures to get away from the stress of our times - so many people flocked to the theatres. NOT SO THESE DAYS, one can go to the web, TV, cable (not around in 1974, 1982, 1988 much), Video Games, Netflix, RedBox (movie for a $1). So studios are probably not in any big rush to make films - as people cannot afford this once cheap diversion - better to divert for a few bucks to all the many other sources of guilty pleasures. OKAY, so that didn't sound like good news...
-The good news is that there are some paradigm shifts occurring that make 2010 -2012 look like it might be one of the most prolific times in Hollywood history. Due to technological developments, there are more platforms being developed than ever. The internet is drivingmillions of new viewers each year. Zillion is going to transform the way we view advertising. For those who don't know, it has recently been unveiled by the maker of Real Player and the 'mouse.' It is a system that makes you watch ads before downloading movies (they already have 14,000 Titles ready for download), TV, other forms of entertainment to your TV Screen. However, the consumer can choose the products they want to see (let's say you go retail clothing and watch a Macy's ad and love the jacket; you can immediately click on the ad/jacket and go directly to their website where you can buy it). Also, you earn points by watching the commercials that you can use towards purchases. Furthermore, SONY and others are now selling TVs that wirelessly connect to your computer, so you can download TV/FILMS at anytime from your computer (websites like Hula, Netflix, etc) directly to your TV. In short, technology is making more platforms which willrequire more content than ever. Also, Cablers are all embracing doing scripted shows, some have up to 5 shows this year... again, more content is needed and thus MORE ACTORS!
-BOTTOM LINE: More platforms = more content = more actors! So as long as SAG/AFTRA can protect your rates and jurisdictional issues, there will be more good compensated work than ever in Hollywood by 2010-2012. "

Who is in the front row of your life?

2009-01-15T12:13:00.000-08:00

Life is a Theatre….Invite Your Audience Carefully

Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives.

There are some people in our lives that need to be loved from a distance.

It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of or at least

minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible,

not-going-anywhere relationships or friendships.

Observe the relationships around you. Pay close attention. Which ones

lift and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?

Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?

When you leave certain people do you feel better or worse?

Which ones always have drama or don’t really understand, know or appreciate

you.

The more you seek Quality, Respect, Growth, Peace of mind, Love and Truth around you…the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.

Remember that the people we hang with will have an impact on both our

lives and our income. And so, we must be careful to choose the people we

hang out with, as well as the information with which we feed our minds.

We should not share our dreams with negative people, nor feed them with

negative thoughts.

So, I ask the question….Who’s in your front row?

HERBALIFE IT !!!!

2008-10-12T19:44:00.000-07:00

This is my beginning blog on my goals and dreams with Herbalife:

I moved to Hollywood with my wife at the time. I gained over 25lbs from working on TV sets and the snacks always at my finger tips. She ended up leaving me 11 months later. I knew it was time for a change. I had to move into a van because I could not afford an apartment. I met Jill and Mark Addy at their beach workouts and Weight Loss challenge. I started using the products even though I did not have a fridge to keep milk. I would make my shakes out of the trunk of my car and buy OJ or a small bottle of milk from 7-11 on my way to work. I would skip the snacks from then on out at work and only snack on Almonds and Herbalife protein bars. Always kept water and tea on me. I would shower at my YMCA gym in the morning so I would also jump on the treadmill or life a few weights. I did this for over 5 months but within the first 3 I had lost over 30 pounds and never felt more healthy in my life. I lived with nothing but gained everything from Herbalife. I realized that complicated diets and recipes were killing my budget and they also required me to have fresh fruits on me at all time. Now I snack on apples but get my full nutrition from my shakes. It would take my 2,000 calories to get the nutrition I need that I get in one shake. Do what I did... if you don't think the fad diets will cut it...then just HERBALIFE IT !!!

Products I take:
Formula 1 shake mix
Multivitamin
Total Control
Cell Activator
Tea Concentrate (raz flavor, my fav)
Lift Off and H-3-O

A vicious circle... that I've created

2008-09-13T00:18:00.000-07:00

Just sitting here in my friend's apartment... renting a room. Was too tired to work out this morning... or was I just not motivated... it is like I have a mixture of depression and motivation battling each other over territory in my brain. I feel so stoked about getting in shape one minute and the next I can't lift my head from my bed to even get online. I feel like I need to be alone. All around. Nobody talking... no TV... no radio. Just me. Like when I lived in the van. But that only helped me get in shape when I lived like that. I need to get on with my career and get in front of the camera. I need to stop putting so much energy into my relationship and I need to put it into me, I need to get off my butt and get into the gym, I need to eat 3 square meals a day, and drink plenty of water, I need to quit smoking, I need to stop blaming others, I need to stop making excuses and I need to make a real plan and stick to it. Look...I'm already tired of writing and I want to go to sleep. I am waiting for my girlfriend to call me right now and it pisses me off so I'm drinking. A vicious circle.

2008-08-16T17:05:00.001-07:00

Heading out to bar hop with friend with only an hur and a half to be there. I jumped on the tredmill and stepped it u to 8. Ran for 14:08 minutes. Ran 1.4 miles burned 215 calories. Only had a mountain dew so far. Need to eat. Woke up at 1pm because I worked till 6 am this morning. Now at Ben at 5pm ready to Bar Hop. Using the subway like responsible children. Update cha later.

August 15th On Set

2008-08-15T11:40:00.000-07:00

So this where I have a problem with my Diet.

I get up and go to work Security on Set of the TV Show Eli Stone at 8am. I would normally get an egg white breakfast burritto with turkey bacon but food is not being served till 4pm. So I have eat what I can get. No cash just credit and the food vendors around here only take cash. So for breakfast I had a Hot Dog with White bread and 2 hours later I had a whopper jr. and fries... all given to me by coworkers. I had a diet coke because no coffee is brewed yet and my water jug. So I hope I can hold out for dinner so not to cheat anymore. I am working from 8am till 6 am tomorrow so my workout is also possibly delayed. I say possibly because I might be able to get some push ups, dips and crunchs in right here on this park bench. We shall see.

August 14 2008

2008-08-14T19:30:00.001-07:00

not much progress. I have been using nutrisystem but I feel really weak. Not enough calories. I need to go back to Herbalife. I made the most progress with them, never felt weak... hungry only sometimes. So when its time to workout I tend to skip them or just dread going in. Herbalife energized me and made me feel clean. I workout with a friend so it has helped staying dedicated to the morning workouts yet I am not finding that fire inside me that I had last year at this time.... get with it David. Don't stop this time until you reach your destiny in fitness. Everything will come your way once you reach that goal. -DH

The strain of my back and my girl.

2008-07-17T16:31:00.001-07:00

-David HavertyToday is week 2 of my workout. It has been real hard. Being in a relationship I'm tempted to eat bad and stay up too late which makes it hard to make it to the gym on time the next day. Today I have really been on my water intake and I made it to the gym at 7am to run. I only ran 17 minutes with a 3 minute cool down. I ran out of time because I had to drive my girlfriend to work. I really need to hit the tredmill for no less then 30 minutes. I also have had a really sore lower back. No idea how I hurt it but it has been affecting my day jobs and workouts... gotta get that straightened out soon.

Back at the Gym July 7th

2008-07-08T09:33:00.000-07:00

Today is day two of working out with my friend Ben. I am 5'11" and 220lbs and he is about 5'8" 222lbs. He has not really been to the gym with the right workout schedule before and I am so happy to be able to workout with him. I will stay motivated because I know the he is counting on me. So Yesterday we started with the treadmill for 20 minutes. We both worked up a sweat. He does incline hill walking and I run. We both burned over 350 calories... he burned more since he did uphill. Good for you Ben :) He also is starting me on the Nutrisystem diet as I add fundamentals of Body For Life and Herbalife nutrition in as well. Which means... eat every 2 and half hours with tons of water. One diet soda a day or black coffee. One glass of Red Wine once in awhile. We will stick to this for one month solid and I promise him 10 pounds of weight loss. So here is to another weight loss challenge. I hope to start taking him to fit club on the beach and also start taking herbalife with me. We shall see. We have taken before pics but he wants to keep his a secret until he makes some progress. I will post mine as soon as he emails them to me.

Thur Oct 25 2007
Was out real late last night...slept in did not get my morning workout. I plan to go after work if I get out early enough. Did not eat right today though...so the gym is calling to make up for it.

Wed Oct 24 2007
I am eating good and working out hard. I ran 3 miles today and drank water most of the day. I ended the night with seeing my girl which did lead to some drinking...only 2 whiskeys and half a glass of wine...otherwise right on point.

Tue Oct 23 2007
I'm feeling weak today. I did workout at Fit Club again...but because of the fires we did not workout too hard...because the air qualit was bad...we might get canceled for Thur since it might get worse.

Tue Oct 16th 2007:
I went to my beach workout at 7am this morning. This is the same workout group I went to on Sunday where I puked after the session. It is about a 2 hour workout in the sand on Santa Monica Beach. My feet were killin gme on Monday. I have been eating real good the last two days. I went out last night till 2 am but I only drank Tonic and Lime. Was fine for me. Now tonight i will do the same at my Karaoke Contest that I have been in for the last few weeks. $1000 to first place. I have been told I am the man to beat...so I have a good chance at winning. Wish me luck. I have another beach workout for Thursday but I might go tomorrow to check it out...yet tomorrow is at 645am...the sand is frezzing at that time...but I am sure it will be worth it.

Fri Oct 11th 2007:
I missed two workouts this week but I was working out twice a day the first few days of the week so I think it was okay. I do drink too much and I am quitting that. I need to shred faster to see the results.

Week 6

2007-09-13T19:07:00.000-07:00

I am now at 226 lbs after a 3 mile run...so I know that is with low water weight but I feel great. I can see my body trying to get out of this lazy man's shell. Here is a photo from a week ago.

Had a great weekend...I tried to keep the carbs away but with the beer I drank I could not eat crbs for like a month. Soooo with that said I had a blast. Good food and good friends... here are a few photos.

Just wearing my brother's creation at work. Danco Creations has tons of different designs available. New Arrivals every week. I am getting into shape more and more. Today I got a comment from a guy at work saying that he thought I was looking healthy. Healthy huh? Well I guess this whole situation I am in will be for the better. Well I will try not to post dumb stuff but it is nice to be able to upload blogs right from my phone here....I wonder if I can uplaod video.

It Rained Today

癡摩䠠癡牥祴਍⸮氮癩ⱥ氠畡桧愠摮氠癯⹥⸮污慷獹氠癯eI was able to Nap today before my night shift tonight because it sprinkled mid day. It kept the Sun covered and the ground cool so it was perfect to sleep. I woke up 3 hours later sweating but I expected that. I opened the doors to get a breeze going but now I am awake and I am going to go the gym to get some cool air and the option to workout.
Last night Lee Markham came into town and we went to Sardo's for Karaoke. He did his usual best and we ate chicken fingers and Rum and cokes. I had Gin and tonics. I sang my usual Boyz ll Men song, yet it was the first time I sanf it in public since Gali left and have to saw....my heart was singing it and it was best performance of that song I have ever done. If you have seen me sing it before....you had never heard it this way. I then sang "What's New Pussycat?" and brought the house down. I sang it JUST like Tom Jones. Next oh Next time. Well I am off to the gym...

This is the only photo I still have on my phone. This is of Hannah Montana (K Sirus) on the set with Animal from The Muppets. I was on set there and I got to stand it for Billy Ray Sirus and be in shot with the whole Muppet band. It was real cool to see myself in the monitors with all those famous icons that I grew up on. Well it was my birthday 2 days ago and I will post the video next. Hope someone is actually reading this. Either way...it is good for me to write.

Working to forget

2007-08-19T05:37:00.000-07:00

Today is Saturday...actually 5:38 am on Sunday. I have been working non-stop since last Thursday. I work out every other day and I have lived in my van for 2 weeks now. I moved completly out of the apartment on Aug 4th and I took pictures and video of this decay of my soul. I moved everything I own into storage and I got a PO Box and YMCA membership..I will post those photos soon but I am too tired...

Truth of the Matter

2007-07-31T10:22:00.000-07:00

I talked to Gali yesterday on the phone and she really wanted to make it clear that she has already quit on us and that I need to start thinking about how I will please my "next girl". I felt that I had to express my feelings to her to show her the love I feel for her but she made it clear that I was being selfish to want to express that to her. Wanted to her to get her to cry or to be sad. No, I did not do that for that reason. If she is crying then she still does love me and is doing this against what her heart is really saying. She is listening to her Head.

Well my Production Manager really was cool. Right there on the set behind the cameras shooting Kermit and Miss Piggy, she squatted down if front of me and really drove it home that what Gali is asking for is not out of the question. Tara (PM) said to work my way away. To not call for 5 days, 7 days, 14 days and so on. If Gali sees what life is like really without me and realizes that she wants to come back...then it is her choice. She has to be in control and I have to give it to her because that is the only way she will ever come back...but there still is the possibility that she won't come back and I have to be okay with that.

I did do the cue cards yesterday for Ashley Tisdale, Kermit and Miss Piggy. I got to get a photo with Kermit.. That is Steve the operator on the right. He has worked for Jim Henson Studios for over 20 years and worked with Jim Henson himself for over 14 years...it was an honor to stand next to him.

Day 14 since she left

2007-07-28T02:10:00.000-07:00

My wife left me 3 days after my first blog post. I really wanted to do this blog to get into shape to please my wife both physically and emotionally. I know I have issues of being lazy, messy, annoying, gross, rude, selfish and unaffectionate. Didn't I just cover about 95% of all men and the others are all uptight dweebs. Well anyway I did not cry today for the first time since she left. Well today is actually Saturday the 28th at 2:14 in the morning so there still is a chance of breaking down today. what I meant is that Friday the 27th was the first day since she left that I did not cry. I worked all day for Disney, I met Billy Bob Thornton and just told him that I want to go on tour with him to get the hell out of dodge. He took my card and told me he would pass my info off to his manager Lisa....we shall see.

Well I ran 10 miles in 4 hours straight...the night she left me. she took the car and did not tell me where she went...so I ran to where I know she would go...and there was my car parked right outside. So that jump started my exercise plan I guess. I then did not eat for 3 days. Then I got some work and stayed busy for the last few days. I have been getting calls for work all week....I guess when it rains it pours....for the past 3 weeks before my first post, I was begging for work. Now I only have one day off between these 2 work weeks. I pray that the jobs keep coming...that is a reason that she left me...I was not contributing to the house income enough.
------------------------------------------------------
(UPDATE: Keep reading if you like...but the real reason she left is because she was emotionally cheating on me with a friend of mine and everything I posted below here was how I was blaming myself. She ended up staying with him the moment she left me and then started dating, seeing, screwing...whatever, him only a month after she left. She does not deserve a man like me. She and the guy she dumped me for have already got pregnant and faked a wedding Vegas so she could tell her family she is having a child. Because you know... she would not want to make people think the baby was an accident...right? She will never find happiness. He biological mother is just like her. Once she gets tired of this guy... she will bounce to next guy that will take her. Hope she avoids the drug dealers. Unlike her mother.)
--------------------------------------------

Well now I am moving out to a one bedroom apartment to really prove to her that I am worth fighting for and to not give up on us. So I am going to really get into shape and become a man she will drool over. I then will take my apartment and use it only as an office or maybe she will move in with me and we will down size our bills. I will prevail...no matter what i will become what she desires...but only she can decide if she will take me back. Well keep me going. I have not really told anyone but a few people...about my wife leaving...so I am sending this out to those who don't know us in hopes of receiving your positive energy to boost my progress and hope toward winning her back. Cheer me on!

Today is Tuesday July 11th. I make too may excuses as to why I cannot work out. I have the option to go down to the local YMCA but I don't have a Cali DL so I have not even gone to see what I need to join. I am living in a one bedroom apartment with my wife and my brother-in-law who is just visiting us right now.

I am submitting this photo from the first week I moved here in Sept 2006.

I have been here for about ten months now an I have let the snack food on the sets I have worked on to get to my mouth and poison my body.

This is what I looked like in April 2007.
238 lbs. 38 inch waist.

I am now at 243 lbs. Still the same waist line but that is because it is a gut and spilling over my belt line. So I will measure from my belly button around the back....so the verdict is....46 inches AHHHHH.

Well I believe this amount of attention of the family in town did not make it easier on a failing realationship in need of it's own attention.

Just house sitting for a job and I had to wait 3.5 hours for the cable guy to show up just to tell me they could not hook me up. I finally got the cable installed 5 weeks later after 3 attempts, 2 digs and an professional electrician cable run.

I worked on this show for the past month and a half as a PA Grip. Which means I helped with eqipment and lighting instruments. We would set up the reflectors and bounce boards to reflect sun light on to the contestants as well as shade them when the sun would be too strong. Also the cable had to be run from generators and then broke down at the end of each day. I did that for 12 to 14 hours a day...5 days a week for the past month and a half...as I mentioned before. Learned a lot to produce my own short films now with the proper lighting...it changes everything.

Sorry it took so long to start up again...crazy crap is happening in our lives right now...Gali moved out here to HOLLYWOOD about 3 weeks ago and we are about to get a new apartment/rental house or whatever...trying to get a Truck...because I want to lug around junk and pick stuff up when I want to...also Gali already got a great job out here...only Gali could do something like that. I worked on those shows I mentioned. I will be on Heros on Monday the 12th...so keep an eye out for me. i am wearing jeans and a maroon shirt with a brown jacket in my arms. I also did the Die hard thing too. I most recently have been working on set in the production dept of a TV show for Lifetime Network. A reality show...yes..but it pays...I was on the show for 3 days only but then they hired me to assist the lightning and electric guys for the whole 28 day shoot. So I will have steady work in production for all the way until Dec 22nd. I make more money selling the newspaper but I love doing this type of work. It will pay off in the end. I am working with a non-union grip who has won 3 emmys and also a non-union gaffer (electric) who has been nominated for 4 emmys for lighting soap operas...good people...good contacts...here are a few photos for your eye balls to enjoy.
