i was pulling up a shot i took of ali at laguna beach back at OSPMC and we got talking about different things we remember about that trip, and just how awesome it was. obviously it was especially awesome for us (ok admit it, how many of you were actually fooled about us?!) but i thought id post up a question asking people what do you remember? what are some random things that jump out at you and make you laugh?

one thing that i remember off the top of my head is how our room had become the 2nd living room. there were times when it would be me, ali, kk, dan, frank, the list would go on all in the same room having real personal discussions about any and everything. and then of course our shower had a clear door on it and id be showering and like 7 people are hanging out in the bedroom chit chatting and thinking there wasnt quieeeeeeet as much privacy as i thought there'd be. i mean im all for hugs and grabbing ass, that's all me, but hey everyone here i am of course i walked in on someone in the shower myself (joy?) so i guess im the last one to complain!

anyway, id love to hear what people remember. it's been a while now so im sure there are all sorts of things we dont remember.

The birth of EDITING.

I came on about the time you guys were headed out there. I kept thinking, geesh these people are weird. Some things never change

I wish I could have been there

luke, admit it mon... your life could be veeeeerrrry different if you hadn't been assigned The PURPLE-STICKY room

Hmmmm.... I remember....

anticipation

roof-top chillin' and beach-shootin'

dressing up like vintage brides and midgets

getting up after 2 hrs sleep to shoot on the roof and redefine the term "editing"... um yeah... I can't post those....


GOOD TIMES FOR SURE - MISS YA ALL

totally agree that my life would not be the same liana, it wouldnt be nearly as good! i can honestly say that 100%! i have a feeling ali and i would have found a way to be snuggling regardless of the room assignments though, no one seemed to noticed that her and i made a beeline to the hot tub together as soon as frank and i arrived. atlanta was the fire starter, cali just ended up being.... well..... the forest fire.

i do want to say i STILL give a major amount of props to liana and everyone else who put time into planning. now that i think about it liana... ali and i probably owe you a dinner or something huh?! LOL no really you did an amazing job putting that together (as well as atlanta), it was NOTHING like i imagined... 10 times better.

i remember yoga on the beach (the things we do to chase hotties)

i remember KK orgasming over a back crack (should i admit that?)

i remember having an awesome night just chillen with dan and shooting the ship while everyone was gone

wait... so, you talked me into going down to the beach before the sun came up because you had other intentions than to be one with the ocean and sand? i even took an elbow to the mouth for that! it was one of the most worthwhile vacations i've ever taken. i just wish i could see all of your more often....

well said.

i also learned that Jim + margaritas = a year or so ahead of justin


sorry, couldn't find the original

I remember sitting in a college library cursing profusely because I somehow thought that OSPMC = OSP Merry Christmas and was some type of holiday gift exchange lol.... The purest of the pure ms. Sarah Barlow had to clue me in on what the heck was going on via the OSP chat room lol.

..so I wasn't present there..

..but I vowed to be any and everywhere every single time thereafter..

(and I am lol)

Dude.... the original was a masterpiece!!!!

I remember Guys on Guys Dancing (with a token female to not blow their cover)

It would have been great to be a part of such, but alas sitting in my cubicle not even thinking about photography (not that I had any idea about such at the time)! All I know is life-long friendships were forged and much has happened in the 18 months since!

Admit it -- I made you look good!

I remember meeting all of you AMAZING people and how that seminar truly changed the trajectory of my business. Each and every one of you treated me SO awesome and welcomed me with open arms...I LOVE you all SO much and I wish we could have a reunion!!

now that is something i would finally travel out for!

OMG - STOP the presses THIS is BIG!

I have enjoyed watching the careers of all of you guys that went to OSPMC. I have often said that group was a special one to Luke. Fortunately, I have had the pleasure of getting to know most of you since then and I am so glad I have!

Reunion? I wasn't at the first one, but I'm in if you'll have me!

I remember Amber seeing me naked!
And luke
And Joy
And Frank
Oh and KK
and everyone in the living room the 3rd night
