Taking a break from the Madness

3.14.2010

I've been in Las Vegas the past couple of days attending and shooting 311 for their 3-11 Day Celebration.
It was definitely a whirlwind of craziness that i'm still recovering from. I took roughly 20 gigabytes worth of photos and my heart starts racing just thinking about the task i have ahead of me.

So yesterday i went to The Getty with Ryan and Nikki to relax. The day was absolutely beautiful and this is what i saw...

New York City - Day 2 & 3

New York Day 2. February 15, 2010.

Heading to the Gramercy Theatre to check out The Urgency. Amy was kind/patient enough to pose for some photos.











Washington Square Park




Stop Action Photography in Union Square. Thanks to Metameta for providing the music.



Here are some shots from The Urgency's Show at the Gramercy.







New York Day 3

Met up with Francesco and Evelyn for some breakfast. We wanted to go to Clinton Street Baking Co. but it was National Pancake Week and the wait was long and it was snowing... so we bailed. We had a Piadina. The Piadina is a culinary staple of Rimini, Italy. Rimini was the very first city I lived in back in 2000. After we walked around a little bit in the snow.

This post is 3 weeks too late.
Since i have extra time on my hands i thought i would take a trip to New York.
This is my first full day.

(Side note: I Finally decided on a logo for my photography. It's located on the bottom right hand corner of each photo and in the banner above. Big ups to Gus for helping me out with that)

P is for Pasadena

3.05.2010

When i'm not home I spend most of my time in the City of Pasadena. Besides the obvious reason i.e. Zankou and their yummy garlic paste, i have friends that live there. Troybeast, Smelly and MY all reside in the City of Roses. The thing I love most about this city is that you can bike around the city. Besides commuting to work there really is no need to have a car. Everything you need is within biking distance. If you want to go to Hollywood you can just hop on the Gold Line to Union Station and take the Redline up to Hollywood.

The drive there was amazing...

skies painted with clouds. A week ago i was walking around New York in a blizzard. A step up? i'd say so.

A tree. The Palm kind.

[Yesterday] was a good day...

3.04.2010

From time to time I get some visitors here at my place in Covina, CA. If you don't know where Covina, CA is just watch "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". It's close by where the movie takes place. I'm starting to think that the only purpose that movie had was to put San Dimas on the map and serve as a geographical reference point to anyone who doesn't know where Covina is. But i digress...

My buddy Gus came by to help me design a logo for my photography, but it quickly turned into lunch/viewing party of the US vs. Netherlands soccer game. I met Gus and his twin brother Javier back in high school and we've been good friends since. He's probably one of my most creative friends i have and recently decided to pursue art full time and designing my photography logo is his first task.



Then my good friend Kelly aka Kaybu aka KB aka Bish stopped by. Kelly just came back from living in London, England for about 5 months. She's been back a little over a week now and adjusting to not knowing what time it is since we don't have a Big Ben here in LA.



The day ended with Midlake at The El Rey. They played a great set playing songs from "The Trails of Von Occupanther" and their newly released album "The Courage of Others". Thanks to Emily, Sasha, and Tony for being my +3.


In the words of Reverend Ice Cube, "[Yesterday] was a good day."
