I may not have been doing anything creative this past year but RMP now has a site that works perfectly with less than stupid phones. So if you are in line at Kmart and need a fix, type in rabidmonkeyproductions.com and breathe a sigh of relief.
I was given a great opportunity by The Rock Shop in Fayetteville, NC to take some photos of a show they had. The venue is pretty damn nice, they have two stages, amazing lighting, and a killer sound system. It tops most of the places I used to go to in San Francisco and Sacramento and I wish more people took advantage of this much needed alternative to obnoxious clubs and seedy strip joints that surround the Ft Bragg region. These are a few shots I got on Friday of This Town is Poison and Damona Waits. You can see the rest on Flickr.
The day that I arrived in Fayetteville, NC a huge tornado destroyed a good chunk of the city. I’ve been wanting to take pictures ever since it happened and finally had the time to go out today. This is over a month since it happened so things have been cleaned up quite a bit but it’s still amazing how much damage the thing caused. See more on my flickr page.
I haven’t had my camera for months now but had some down time and started looking at some old pictures from last year that I haven’t touched since. Here’s some from the Walt Gray Ride that my pops, Katie, and I went on last summer. See more on my flickr page.
I became a published writer/photographer while I was at AIT. Before I joined the Army I took a ride to Lake Tahoe and ended up writing an article about it. Low and behold, Harley actually published it a few months later in HOG Magazine.
Moving the site over to tumblr. It’s free, and much easier to update.
RMP also has a new email address. The original was receiving entirely too many Viagra pitches and notices telling me I can get a free gold watch.

A brief update on why RMP has been gone for close to a year…
Everyone pretty much knows that the economy went down the drain a few years ago, especially in California. I was a recent film school graduate and the work I was getting wasn’t paying the loans so after almost a year of hunting for a job other than RMP with no success, I joined the US Army. After basic training, AIT, and airborne school, I have finally arrived in Fort Bragg, North Carolina home of pawn shops, strip clubs, and apparently tornadoes.
I’m hoping to pick up where I left off. Shoot a few music videos here and there on the weekends and also move into photography a little more in the next year. So keep posted, hopefully I won’t let you down.
Rabid Monkey Productions is on a brief hiatus. We’ll be back to work next summer in a new geographical location. RMP will miss the Bay Area but we look forward to meeting new friends and experiencing new opportunities.
