Sean reconnects with one of his favorite friends, Angelina Butera, for Episode 15 of Stories from the Vault... while the two were in Oklahoma working on a shoot for Choctaw Casinos. Angelina is a celebrity makeup artist and has worked with Sean for many years. This trip down memory lane is quite an adventure. Listen and learn from the best of the best. 

After a full day of shooting in the studio for Emerald Coast Magazine, the photographer and his subject sit down for a chat in the vault. Skylar Capri is a lovely young musician, a creative singer / songwriter with an exciting road ahead. Sean and Skylar had fun getting crafty in the studio, and their conversation uncovers interesting ways that different kinds of artists explore the creative process. Check out Skylar Capri's awesome music and videos online and look out for the upcoming feature in Emerald Coast Magazine.

Sean sits down with his 3 sons - Ozzy is 21 and the twins, Milo and Tripp are 20, so they are what some would identify as Irish triplets. They are each little chunks of Sean in their own unique way. With such a unique guy to have as a dad, we hear some fun stories of crazy things that happened when they were little kids growing up in the Murphy compound, and how things that some people would think are super cool are just another regular day.

On Episode 12 of Sean Murphy's Stories from the Vault, Maxine Orange is back for more conversation with Sean. We hear stories about G. LOVE & SPECIAL SAUCE. Sean tells his story about taking one of the last photos of James Brown, and mentions others he's shot (with a camera!) who are no longer with us... and that one time he almost killed Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath on a boat.

One of Sean's oldest pals, Alan Helmuth, sits down for a sesh in the vault. These two grew up surfing on acid in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Sean and Al reminisce with some crazy old stories about stealing surf racks and competing against Kelly Slater. Al brings some pretty cool questions to the table - one about if you can be taught to be a photographer or if it is only a natural talent... inspired by a question Steve Harvey asked Jerry Seinfeld about if you can be taught to be a comedian vs natural talent. Listen for more entertaining conversation with Sean.  

Episode 10 features conversation with Sean's friend, artist Kelly Sullivan. They worked together in 1995 at a restaurant in San Francisco's Phoenix Hotel, Miss Pearl's Jam House. Any band that came to San Francisco at the time, stayed at that hotel, ate and partied at the restaurant. Many great stories were born in that place, and it was a big turning point for Sean's career as a photographer.  

Sean's guest on Episode 9 is Thomas Ramsey, a former Bote co-worker. The conversation gets a little wacky as Thomas gets Sean cranked up sharing stories about the club kid days from NYC's Limelight with characters like Superstar DJ Keoki and James Saint James. Sean and Ahmet Zappa coming up with situations for photoshoots with Gary Coleman and... the one and only Andy Dick. 

In Episode 8, Sean and his wife Raphye chat about many things... like her laundry list of Sean's stories, going postal & blowing up Las Vegas with Maynard from Tool, and Raphye embarasses Sean by professing her love for Tool on their trip to Maynard's winery. 

Episode 7 features guest Connor Cajigal, who asks Sean about bands he wished he shot, and they uncover stories about a Beastie Boys / Rage Against the Machine debacle, hot rods, beer, Miami Vice, and Portland. 

Sean's guest on Episode 6 is Gracie Luberto, a rad young lady with a big future ahead of her. She asks questions that uncover some super interesting stories about working with Christina Aguilera, Green Day, Hanson, Linkin Park, Shia LeBouf, Jake Gyllenhal, and Tom Arnold.
