Glam shots with Charles

Every established gang has glam shots taken at some point. Its a well known fact. Lets even broaden that perspective - every person in 7th grade who thinks they are an established human being goes straight to the mall for some glamour shots. From airbrushed effects, to candid headshots, photos with your great grand-daddy's sax, and bubble backgrounds, its a must do unless you want to be shunned in life. Please see below for a few of our glam faves.


LTD had been talking for some time about finally getting a photo shoot done of the gang, though the problem was getting the key members in town all at once. While it's easy to take shots at meetups and on rides, whoever is photographing always seems to get left out.

Becky and Lauren set up a time with their friend Charles McPadden for a "prelim" photo shoot to get some ideas of what we'd like to see in the "for realz" shoot. The 3 of us met up at Santa Susana High School in Simi Valley along with Charles' wife Vanessa. We scooted back to the tennis courts where we found some random props ranging from a dead bird to a lonely tennis shoe. Of course, we took advantage of all of these free glamour props in hopes of taking the shots to the next level. As the sun began to set, we started running out of daylight and called it a day. Before leaving, Vanessa and Charles took our hogs for a spin in the parking lot. A Simi cop's eagle eye, also known as "the Heat", spotted them without helmets and pulled near the parking lot with a spot light to be sure to make it a point to make a big deal out of nothing. It just wouldnt be LTD if it wasn't causing the slightest bit of trouble. L...T...D. Check out Charles' amazing photography: www.charlesmcpadden.com.
