Bought my first glove since junior high. This one should last me till the day I die. Let’s play some ball!
Happy Valentine’s Day! This is 100% real.. a Gedesa Plum from Chilé I bought last weekend and just realized…it’s a heart!
There’s love in life, you just need to find it. It’s everywhere!

(sorry for the long wait.. kinda got away from tumblr for a minute!)
Thank you again to Converse for giving me the opportunity 8 years ago to become a commercial photographer. Without you, I don’t know where I’d be right now.Loving my warm homemade nut butter.
Ingredients: Peanuts, almonds, and some other random nuts I threw in for good measure.

To all those who participated in the Boston Connectivity shoot for Converse,
Thank you all so much for making the Boston shoot so successful! You all were so amazing to work with and photograph, and without your wonderfully unique personalities, we would not have had such great results!
Thank you all so much for making my job so much fun and rewarding.
Sincerely,
Michael

QUOTED FROM CONVERSE.COM (http://play.converse.com/play/blog/?p=5719&ref=nf):
“Way back when, Converse set up shop in Massachusetts. We made sneakers that played Basketball, then Rock & Roll, then everything else. Over the years, we made our way all over the place, found our way into all sorts of things—and now we’re coming back home.
On October 15th, Converse will open its first-ever specialty store. We’ll serve up a collection of sneakers, apparel and accessories—as well as a new line of premium denim—you can’t find anywhere else. We’ll also feature an in-store customization area where Converse people can make Converse stuff truly their own with one-of-a-kind graphics, colored laces and who-knows-what else.
To celebrate our grand opening in Boston, we rounded up over 200 local kids, took their pictures and connected them by their Converse. Then we headed over to Park Street Station—a major crossover point for Boston subway lines that hosts over 104,000 people every day—and hung up the so-called Connectivity campaign in every possible place we could.
Born in Boston and back again—because you never forget your first.Converse Grand Opening
348 Newbury Street, Boston
October 15
Store Hours:Monday – Saturday: 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.
Sunday: 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.”

- Campaign I shot to promote the new Converse store in Santa Monica...
- Thanks for sharing this Stacy.. This is hilarious! http://vimeo.com/34813864
- I like living in California, especially in January.
- A photo I did for an upcoming film called Paulie, being produced by David Haskell and directed by Andrew Nackman. Had a total blast shooting this with them!
- Really got my hopes up on this one.. then quickly realized it was April Fools' Day. Called Canon just to make sure.. and yup.. still April Fools' Day. Oh man, that would've been great!!
- Yesterday was a nice day to wash your car in LA.
- Creative Valentine's Day Gift Idea: Offering this special to all my friends. $150 for a mini photo session. You, and the one you love. Captured by me, in the way I shoot lifestyle photography. Email michael@khachadoorian.com if interested. Thanks!
- "Just Do It" Man, that's got to be the best slogan in history. Major props to Dan Wieden. Dan, if you're out there, I'm using this as my mantra from today on.

- About to see my favorite band of ALL time. I blasted them in Camera Corner back in the day. I played them in college while cramming for all my exams and writing papers... In Italy while studying abroad... psyching myself up before games.. driving across country (twice).. They help me create better photography and put me in the best mood ever whenever I play them (too often for some) on set. They give me strength, like the most natural "drug alternative" in the world and help create a high unattainable by any other means. They are Portishead -in my opinion, the best, most creative, most awesome band on earth. I'm in heaven.
- Rest in peace, Steve Jobs. And thank you for creating Apple and bringing it back to its glory. My life is better because of you.
- Thank you Susan Goldinger for sharing this poem with me today: Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on the snow- I am sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die. - Mary Elizabeth Frye
- I'm sick of people hounding me for my email address and begging me to like their Facebook page when all I want is to purchase and eat an average tasting taco. Just sell me the taco and be done with it. Maybe we can be friends in another life. For now, I'm just hungry, thanks.
- Installed the new OS X Lion on my new i7, and as cheesy as this may sound, it does in fact roar!!
- I got emotional just reading this. Best idea I've heard in quite some time. Next up, one with Armenian Nanas! http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2011/07/07/missing-home-cooking-borrow-a-grandma/?hpt=hp_c2
- I heart his girlfriend Zuleyka too. (met an NBA player AND Miss Universe at the same shoot!)
- I heart JJ Barea.
- In Boston for the night, to celebrate the 10 years Steven and I have been together, at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mass Bay graduation ceremony. This has been the best 10 years, thanks to Steven being so unbelievably awesome. For anyone who's ever thought of joining: Join! You will be so incredibly happy you did!!
- Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Moms! I so appreciate all that you do, including giving birth to the world, and nurturing us all through life. Grandmothers, for keeping your beloved family cared for and close for your entire lives, with an abundance of unconditional love. Thank you so all much! You are loved today and always.
