Film & 420 Photo Portfolio by CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN
High flying and far reaching photographer and director, the illustrious CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN, lights up the studio on this sensual and smoky original film and accompanying 4/20 photo portfolio for Buds Digest.
The always thoughtful creative enchants, capturing his bountiful subjects in their most natural moments to the tune of 80s obscura hit Adventures in Success with Will Powers. Watch below for a meditative, mood-setting smoking session with the master of the lens himself.
There is no greater album I enjoy smoking weed to than DANCING FOR MENTAL HEALTH by Will Powers.
A highly underrated masterpiece album from 1983 - a satire album by highly celebrated photographer Lynn Goldsmith's alter ego Will Powers. This piece of art was high on collaboration including Sting, Nile Rogers, Carly Simon and Steve Winwood.
The album has been described as:
Dancing For Mental Health is, above all, a concept album. At its core, the record parodies self-help tapes, but it is married with infectious disco-pop leanings, which, in fact, render the end-product a wholly deeper – and more enjoyable – listen, transforming a simple parody into niche-Pop gold.

The song Adventures in Success (with musical crafting by Sting) is a cult disco classic with lyrics that take you deep. It's a stoner smash hit!
Thank you Lynn Goldsmith for this masterpiece of an album and art.
