Go Hump day! Today is the birthday of my good friend Alex Kater. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Besides that... last night Feed The Feeble had a show! This time we decided to have a bassist so birthday boy picked up some strings and tore it up.... from the floor up? i forget how that one goes. We played the show along with Wild Pack of Canaries and On Blast. On Blast was SOOOOOO SICK! Everyone loved them, they played like an hour set, cops came but nooo they just kept on going. House show's are always fun.

I just got back from morrow bay...that was fun. I also went camping not too long ago and am still working on my on going 'secret' photo project. Its pretty cool. You will see it someday.

Oh!!! It was my nephews bday on sunday!!! he is getting old!

this past weekend I went and saw Ray LaMontagne and it was pretty good. Not amazing, I really want to see him in a smaller venue cause I just love being really close to the musicians and connecting way more.

Last but not least...IM LEARNING FRENCH, finally.

Its FRIDAY!

So I got a bunch of new equipment in the past two weeks. New lights, stands and other accessories by AlienBee. New case for my computer by pelican. And a new external Lacie Hard drive just came in the mail 5 minutes ago. Woooo.







Besides that I did a shoot yesterday with Live Elevated. We did a fashion shoot for a jewelry line, I will post a few up as soon as I finish editing! They look really good though. The model Jessica was AMAZING. Super hot, super good at what she does, super model? hmmmm...... i will let you decide in a few days!

Keep Moving

So school is now over for the semester. I talked with my teacher Walter Urie(awesome guy/photographer) and he gave me some good advice with the direction I should take my photography. So what I did with his advice was increase the amount of photoshoots im doing. Some will be paid some will be personal work. But I will be doing 1-3 photoshoots a week for the rest of the summer with different bands, business owners, and groups. I want to focus my photography on musicians, but I want to still do portraits of business owners in LA/OC. So if you are in a band or own a restaurant or another interesting business give me call or shoot me an email!

I love working with groups

Earlier this week I did a group photoshoot with a bunch of my local friends that were all kind enough to come out and model for me!

The Concept for this was to have the two main guys convey the emotion of anger...and I did it! Im thinking of doing a series with all these people. That is still being thought out though. I have another idea for a series as well...buuut ill just show that to you in a little while once its all done. Possible book concept? MAYBE!

Heres a shot i took while waiting for a few things to happen before i started the shoot... Its Carli V. And Daniel Curtis Lee(google him!).

I was looking at Lisa Wiseman's Blog and she led me to an amazing photographer named Phillip Toledano. His website is of his last days with his father who has now passed away. Its really quite touching, check it out.

Saturday

Hey! So recently I have been on spring break... oh if you didn't know I am a photography student at OCC in costa mesa...anyways! I went to san diego at the beginning of this week, sadly no camera was taken with me though. It was a last minute trip at 5am on a monday morning. But anways recently I did a photography shoot with an old friend who just happens to look good in front of my lens! Her name is Rosanne and thats her below! The girl in the yellow and below is Vivian. She was great to work with! Lots of fun, she was totally down to climb a tree and do some other exciting stuff. I had a great time with all these people!

I just love how much mystery is in this photograph. I love the colors of the afternoon sun hitting the sides of the trees, as well as lighting her. To view these full pictures just click on them, blogspot.com likes to clip my pictures because i suppose they are too large?
