Vegas, day trip

This is how the first picture went down. I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago to shoot Glasvegas playing at the Viva Las Vegas wedding chapel. Across the street there was a Marilyn statue and a blue pool underneath a couple empty swings in front of a gentleman's club. About an hour later, someone turned to me and said, "hey look, there's someone on the swing." I crossed the street and asked the girl if I could take her picture. She told her friend she'd call her right back, looked at me and said "Five bucks". I told her I didn't have $5, I was a photographer working across the street and just wanted to take a picture of her. "Where are you gonna put em?" I gave her my website, she put it into her phone and said "you're lucky, I never let anyone take a picture for free." She started to pose on the swing and I asked her to just stay like she was and to call her friend back. I shot four frames and said thanks. Then she said. "And by the way, I'm not a fuckin' stripper, so don't say that I am on your website." so I promised. She's not a stripper.

was the mechanical bull gone? I spent a drunk night in that parking lot one time getting wasted and riding the bull.. the guy who was supposed to be driving it was fighting on the phone with his girlfriend the whole time so he just let us take it over. .
