however if you would like to know more about David:
read this:
“LaChapelle’s work continues to be inspired by everything from art history to street culture, creating both a record and mirror of all facets of popular culture today. He is quite simply the only photographic artist currently working in the world today whose work has transcended the fashion or celebrity magazine context it was made for, and has been enshrined by the notoriously discerning and fickle contemporary art intelligentsia.”

dear david,
we wanted to let you know how much we truly appreciate your work and everything that you do. an artist who follows the beat of his own drum. I was first introduced to you by shone. I’m so thankful. when Shone was first showing me what myspace was about, you were one of the people on his top friends list. I remember following along your adventures back then, I think if I recall correctly, you were on a personal retreat, taking time and nurturing your soul in hawaii I want to say. this was your profile pic at the time.
since then shone has always been inspired, and will soon someday use himself as a subject. I have been his muse for sometime, and it will be such a reward to see himself from his artistic point of view.
I have loved reading adventures of you and Pamela Anderson out having a great time on the town, and then ending up back in your studio to do some shooting. we met a man, his name is Scott Monaco, who told us about an adventure like this that he had with you, holding lights and stuff while you shot Pamela in a mobile home. I know the story could be a little distorted, you know how time and memory can get the best of us at times.
We wanted you to know that we think of you ALOT. We have your book Heaven to Hell, We show it to many of our friends and to those who participate in our own photoshoots. I escape for quite some time into your adventures. I love the stories most of all that take place in your work.
I truly feel that the universe has greatly benefited from your love and talent. The images you present with celebrities is FANTASTIC! I could only imagine what it must be like to work with so many of them. We know from personal experience, that working with others is not an easy task. It takes a lot of patience and appreciation of so many types of personalities. Your skill is remarkable, and although you may have heart this a bazillion times or more, we just wanted to send you some super duper boho love!
You are an inspiration, and will always have a special place in our hearts.
I have spent the afternoon exploring your website. each time I land, I find new things that I had never discovered before. I think this is one of the benefits of having a website. I can come visit you anytime, wether you are sleeping, or working, and spend some quality time with you. I love this music video goodbye yellow brick road you created with Elton John. what the hell, I loved all of them. the No Doubt one, It’s My Life, gwen is a doll. Such a magical potion of artists. wow!
One of these days I am looking forward to meeting you personally. as I am sure Shone would too! I would give you the biggest hug ever!!! I know that due to time and your availability that I most likely will not have the opportunity to ask you some questions. so I thought that I would take the opportunity to do so now.
1. I would love to hear the story of how you met Andy Warhol, and what it was like working with him. I would love to know one of your favorite moments you shared with him: what inspiration or stimulation did it create?
2. where is your favorite place to visit in the universe?
3. as an artist, one who creates mature content, what obstacles have you been through, and what are some things that you have learned that you would be willing to share some light on?
4. do you have some favorite places online where you can be yourself and connect with other like minded creative earthlings? Are you interested in discovering any new playgrounds?
5. what is your favorite drink?
6. and lastly, I know it’s a little personal, but I’m always so curious to know, what is your favorite fetish?
We send you love and genuine hugs. regardless of our boho travels, you always have a place to restore your soul and be loved by magically expressing earthlings.
I hope you sleep well tonight, and have the best morning ever!
boho love and kisses
