March is National Kidney month and the Studio City Sun will run a story about comedian George Lopez and his wife Ann. Ann donated one of her kidneys to her husband George and saved his life. Get the complete story from the Sun.
I shot these images on the set of George Lopez The Show at the Warner Brothers lot in Burbank California. I sat in the audience for a bit and watched them tape for a bit then photographed George and his wife during a taping break. They were and absolute pleasure to shoot.
There is a funny little side story I'll share. When I first entered the sound stage I noticed lots of signs telling you to turn off your cell phones. I had left mine in the car, so I had nothing to worry about. After 10 minutes of standing around waiting, out from the back of the set emerges Mr. Lopez himself on a mission.He said to the three people standing there, myself included, "who has a cell phone? " I can hear a cell phone" he said. He walked right up to the woman standing next to me like he knew it was her; keep in mind I had not heard a thing.
She pulls her Blackberry out of her purse, he takes it turns it off, looks at me and smiles, then gives me a smack on the back and disappears just as quickly as he appeared. I guess you had to be there but he sniffed out that cell phone like a bloodhound on a fox hunt. It just made me wonder why was he was the one policing the set for cell phones and how did he know where it was? I just had to laugh.
