LA.. go go go.. these next few months will go past too damned
fast...
if he is willing to take you on, start getting ready.. i mean
like now.. no more flying to Thailand every few weeks and all
that because you're going to need every plugged nickel you
have...
see about flogging that giant bike of yours.. which may be
difficult because of the crash...
start making a list of essential things.. be brutal... travel as
light as possible...
find out how to ship all your photographic equipment over..
freighting is not cheap and neither is the insurance for such
expensive and fragile things...
get your travel stuff ready, biometric passport, visas and all
that..
get a bank account and credit card thing there.. so get all your
references in order..
good luck! 
but MG said that its against the law to go there on a tourist
visa and find work.
so to do it legally, IF he is willing to employ me, he has to
apply for a work permit for me.
which i think is a whole bunch of paperwork that will put him
off, he'll have an easier time getting US citizens.
