Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.



It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in sunny Los Angeles (on the planet's surface, at least). Then I donned some 3-D goggles and went to the premiere of Journey to the Center of the Earth. The latest Warner Bros. epic held its premiere during the Los Angeles Film Festival's final day.

I had two major challenges to face this time. First, It was early afternoon sun, and every celebrity was looking directly into it. I had the fear that it was going to be another sunglass fashion day. To correct the problem, I decided with the other photogs that we would just shoot them in the corner of the red carpet in some shade with no backdrop or signage. So when the editors look at these pictures they are going to have no idea where I was today.

I'm so ready for summer. Winter is all fun and games until the holidays are over, and then it's just cold and crappy for no reason (other than scientific). I'm ready to spend my days wearing shorts and flip-flops with my toes in the sand and a drink in my hand. I want to be warm.

Enter the music of Jack Johnson. I bought his new CD, Sleep Through the Static, and I have officially put winter behind me (my back is to the door).

I could go on and on about the "greeness" of Jack. The album is sold in sleeves made from recycled materials and was recorded using 100% solar energy. Take that Amp. However, as awesome as that it, I'm not writing to share the effects on my conscience, but rather the thawing of my soul. You can use that if you want.

Jack Johnson is the soundtrack to summertime. It's hard to listen to his music without skipping right to bikini season. I want to fill an ice chest with beer and invite some friends over to sit in the yard and laugh about our kids and our lives. It's a good feeling.

What does this have to do with style you ask? Everything, my friends, everything.
