Mentally Ill and Homeless: Growing Issue in 2013

The above is a every day occurrence in Hollywood, a mentally ill and homeless person on the sidewalk. It begs the question what does a so called civilized society do with the growing numbers?

Homelessness In Hollywood Continues To Grow & Fester

Artist Bobby Ras & KAT (both off camera) witness a property owner trying to get rid of a mentally ill homeless woman who was camping out on her apartment steps. Whose right in this situation and what can be done about the growing number of homeless and mentally challenged people roaming the streets looking for shelter where they are not wanted or welcomed?

Derek Hough Warms Up In More Ways Than One

Covering Derek Hough this season of DWTS All Stars has been challenging to say the least. Derek moves so fast at times that I couldn't get the shot. It was frustrating yet inspired me to keep trying. A lot of people don't get what I do. My goal is to tell a story not to interfere with the people that I shoot. I have the utmost respect for talent. In the second video my camera was still on long after I realized it was. I was shooting with two cameras.

Hollywood Zombies Coming Or Already In A City/Town Near You





 With the never ending war, the powers that be playing roulette with commodities, gas fixing, the outsourcing of American jobs to slave labor in foreign countries, America's love for narcissism and self centeredness has caused a One Eyed Monster. A Zombie Cyclops is a great metaphor for what the Republic has fallen to. A monster only concerned with getting cheap labor, fulfilling its addictions in oil, technology, stimulants, food, alcohol, violence, sex, control, power and what ever else is on our top ten list by grasping for other countries' resources.
As a one eyed beast, we have little perception and depth of understanding how our brutal and unconscious tunnel vision will effect us in the long run. Outsourcing of jobs causes a void in our Economic Foundation. Lowering wages and destroying unions here  via unfair Trade Agreements, destroys economic stability. We are killing our future for cheap products made in China yet many will wait in line for an iPhone for hours to be hip. I'm sure most people who have a iPhone5 think they are pretty conscious. And the delusion continues, Steve Jobs said himself that the jobs that put together the iPhone and products like it are gone from America forever. Jobs liked the idea that he could get his workers in China to get up in the middle of the night and fix any issue at a snap of his finger. Ironically, Steve Jobs is dead of cancer. America is showing signs of the same ill will.
As we close our eyes and only focus on our selfish desires, the rest of the body looses stability. Time for Americans to wake up. Stop living in a dumb down FDA approved medicated reality TV Playstation game that you can tweet your friends. Time to comprehend Cause and Effect. Action and Reaction.
There will be more and more homeless, mentally unstable people roaming our cities and towns. 
With no food, shelter, water or health care what do you think they will do to eat and live?
The Presidential contestants don't even address the increasing rise in Homelessness.


We are not  just One We Are ALL.

Hollywood Man In The Mirror

This man walks up and down Hollywood Boulevard almost every day that I'm there as a constant reminder cinematic moments happen while issues like what to do with the homeless and mentally challenged go unanswered...
