Savage Swim Pics



Jenny Cook

When I’m not shooting, I’m usually in the pool working out with Southern Californian Aquatics, better known as SCAQ. And although I seldom compete anymore, I like hanging out with my friends at meets. Here are some “Savage Swim Pics” taken last Saturday at the Santa Clarita Short Course Meters Swim Meet.

Robert De Niro On The Red Carpet


© MARK SAVAGE/CORBIS
I photographed celebrity arrivals last week at the 18th Annual/LA Britannia Awards held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles. It was great to see one of the finest actors of our generation. And checking out what De Niro's been up to lately on IMDB, it's obvious he's one of the busiest actors in Hollywood. Here are his recent filming & in development credits:



In development:


Current:

And as a side note, you just have to love the title, “Another Bullshit Night in Suck City.” IMDB’s description is rather limited unless you have IMDB Pro, so a quick google search landed a bit more info:

Nick Flynn's best-selling novel Another Bullshit Night in Suck City has sold the movie rights to Columbia Pictures, for it to get adapted, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Based on Flynn's darkly comic memoir about an unconventional reunion between a father and his son. While working as a caseworker at a homeless shelter in Boston, the 27-year-old Flynn meets his father at a time when Flynn's own life is unsettled. Together they begin a journey that illuminates the great hidden story of fathers and sons in America and the enduring strength for survival.

From The Archive- Actress Amber Heard


© 2008 Mark Savage


“She’s going to be huge next year,” says a photographer friend of mine last night at the Jimmy Choo for H&M event held high in the hills above L.A. “Check out Amber Heard on IMDB,” he adds. She was in six films this year, and next year she plays the lead actress in three- one of which, The Rum Diary, also stars of Johnny Depp, Giovanni Ribisi, and Aaron Eckhart.

Never Run Out Of Film



Pavlov's dog is alive and well. I still get a knot in the pit of my stomach whenever I think about it. It’s 1987, and I’ve shot a small benefit comedy show in Hollywood. Several comedians have finished their routines for an audience of a hundred at best. I don’t remember the name of the theater, but I do remember the host coming on stage as people were exiting and I was putting my camera away. “People come back! Robin Williams is about to perform!” I scan the tip sheet. Not Robin Williams? He’s not scheduled to perform…. and I’m out of Tri-X! I take a seat, front row & center, and kick myself throughout his 45-minute impromptu performance(and the drive home, and the next day, and the next…) for not bringing a back-up roll.  Live and learn.

When I was freelancing for the L.A. Times in the 1990’s, it was common to grab an extra roll on occasion and store it away. After a awhile, I had emergency rolls throughout my car, in my camera bag, in various coat pockets, in my frig, in my closet, in my office desk drawers, in my filing cabinets…

Eventually, these back-up rolls became back-up cards. When I went digital in 2002, I remember always carrying a 1GB card with me “just in case” it was needed. Over the years, I’ve accumulated a lot of “just in case” cards. And since I bought an 8GB card, I have an arsenal of 4GB and 2GB back-ups to choose from.

Then it recently occurred to me: Although it’s been 22 years, I can safely say I’ll never run out of film on any assignment ever again. Never. Ever. You hear that, Robin Williams? Go ahead. Show up unexpectedly. I’m ready for you this time.
