SONIC BOOM!

3.29.2010

The great thing about photography is there are so many different kinds that if you don't like concert and band photography like I do, there's nature, fashion, product and architecture. Click here for a full list.

i recently had the opportunity to see a local fashion photographer Sonic work his magic. He had his shoot in the garage of his house and i was just a fly on a wall trying to pick up some pointers. I'll admit that fashion photography isn't my thing but i really have a great appreciation for it. There are so many pieces to the puzzle. You have a photographer, model, makeup artist, stylist, sometimes a location scout and things can get a bit stressful. Sonic gave me an inside look on how things are done. This was my view from the shoot.









Thanks to Sonic for having me be an onlooker! Check out more of Sonic's stuff by by visiting http://www.inkblotch.net!

and here are some random shots from sunday!

311 Day 2010 Visual Recap

3.26.2010

I've been a long time fan of 311, not as long as some, but a big fan nonetheless.

311 has a 3-11 Day celebration every two years where they play a 5 hour set a million songs and throw some circus acts in between sets. i was lucky to have photo privileges throughout the show and this is what i saw...





























There are many more photos that i did not post but if you would like to see them all just click right here.

Troy Augusto, Gary Livingston, and Jen Langman also kicked some major arse capturing the show!! Big ups to them too!

If you want to see the show in its entirety, you can watch it on demand at by clicking here.

Or you can just watch this snippet of video i took!

enjoy!

Cancun - Day 1

3.20.2010

Many of you might know this already, but I'm in Cancun, Mexico right now. I flew in Thursday afternoon. I'm here to shoot a wedding for Nate and Rosie. A couple that I have never met in my life until last night. I have Jennifer Miller to thank for this opportunity.

Friday i took some time to head down to the beach in Cancun before i had to go to Playa del Carmen.

EXES OF EVIL Photo shoot

3.17.2010

I consider myself to be very blessed in many ways than one. I have a family that loves me, people around me that push me creatively and experiences that have made my life very sweet.

Today i find myself in Ojai, California where i met Ryan and Evan who are the genuises behind this new music project called EXES OF EVIL. I met Ryan years ago when he was the frontman for The Rivalry and I met Evan back when he started touring with 311 as a production assistant. Both guys are great people and extremely musically talented and when they asked to me shoot some promo shots for them i jumped at the opportunity. we shot around and this is what we came up...





Please go check out their Myspace and Facebook Pages and become a fan. Support their music and the will support you! Trust me.

D&T and Me

3.16.2010

I hung out with Davia and Tejah last night and had dinner at this fancy place called Chateau In-N-Out. Food was good and the conversation was even better.



The both times i hung out with Davia, she's forgotten her keys and both times she's had to break into her house... this time i caught it on tape.
