New York City!!!









So, for this past week I have been in the great city of New York. Oh what a place, something new and exciting every night, every day, every trip in every way...I was there for work and for play. I was visiting various editorial outlets for work as well as advertising outlets. I have to say the biggest responses were at ESPN magazine and at Arnold advertising agency. It was a jam packed week, but I would be willing to do it all over again. I have some pics from with my posse, Kevin Ou and Melissa Valldares, as we marched from location to location. There was also a gallery opening that I attended in which Kevin Ou was diplaying two pieces, one of which a first place win!

We also tasted the delights of Serendipity 3, a delicious little spot with HUGE frozen hot chocolates. Mmmm Mmmm good! I also had to purchase myself a LA hat while in NY, why you ask? cause I'm a little weird like that, and I purchased my NY hat in LA, figured I should follow suit!

All in all it was an amazing experience that I would do time and time again. Hopefully this fall will be round Two!

Poolside Sunday's







Now that's what a Sunday is supposed to be about, just hanging out at the pool. I just happen to have a camera and had some with fun getting into trouble with it...though I can't show you those shots i can show you these. Pretty good for a little point and shoot huh?

Hot Tuna!!!!!



Yup, that's right folks, Hot Tuna is hitting the market fresh with this seasons newest bikinis. On friday June 29th I was down in Long Beach at the V20 club, where I was witness to a runway show for Hot Tuna, this collection entirely designed by none other than the infamous Anya Aghababian. Rock on Anya!

It was a fun night filled with lots of drinks and very little clothes, and $3.00 heineken's from the nice little lady in the red bikini;) I rolled with the posse including Melissa, Kev!n Ou, Stewy & Naomi. I have a feeling this same group may be headed to Vegas soon...

Dirt Alliance/Fight the Fear






Last Friday, the 22nd I was down at the Del Mar Fairgrounds near San Diego. All kinds of high flyin', back flippin' motorcycle action was going down. In the middle of all this, literally, Fight the Fear rocked the stage and I was snappin some live shots of the night! The put on a killer show, and I got some nice pics to match!

Disneyland with the Fam!







When do you get too old for Disnehyland? NEVER is the correct answer. I had a blast with my Sister Brooke, her two kids Evan and Lillian, my sister Cassie, and her boyfriend Mike on Monday. I brought my camera to take some pics since it was my nephew and nieces' first trip. The little ones had some of the biggest smiles I've ever seen!

Roomba, My savior!


Okay, so I know that everyone has heard about these things. A little robotic vaccum, sounds cheesy, lazy right? Yeah, but I'll be damned if it doesn't do an awesome job! i don't think i will have to physically vaccum again..... Thanks Roomba!

Knitting Factory Exposed!




I got full access at a recent show at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. The Cunning Lynguists were the headliner. I got to meet Deacon and Kno, two of the emcees of Cunning Lynguists backstage before their performance. They gave me a few minutes each and I snapped these few portraits. They rocked the house once they hit the stage!

Still Playing with Lego's



These images are from a job that the Agency did back in January. We worked with Matli::Elliott on this Lego project. The images were shot by my partner Kevin Ou, but these were two of the ones that I retouched. That's we had to put the clothes on these guys in post!

Knitting Factory, the performance






These were some of the live images that I shot at the Knitting Factory that same night. Got to meet and hear some new music. T.I. Crew out of Ventura were super chill.

Surfs Up!




The was up, all day long at this spot in oceanside. This image was taken by a good friend of mine Luis. There were three of us on a three day excursion to find some new surf spots.

Pops got a new bike!



My dad recently purchased a new Harley, a Deuce 2 to be exact. He calls this bike his "mistress", so for this past Christmas I shot these for him and printed a few extra wallets for him to show her off whether he's ridin' her or not.

Fight The Fear!





Here are some some images from a recent shoot with the band Fight The Fear. Not only do they rock on stage, but they rocked in this photoshoot as well. It was an awesome shoot, i had to get down and dirty to get some of the shots!
