And just like the movies...We play out our last scene

So I had the privilege to shoot on this lil indie set for the movie Charlotte. It's a movie about Bigfoot falling in love with a beauty, kidnaps her, then realizes his mistake once he gets her back to his lair. But it's not the conscience that bugs him, it's her personality! lol

Anyway, I was able to meet with cool people that day; a MUA (with whom I plan to work very soon) and a DP who does small music videos here and there. Word up.

And last but not least, your's truly ;)


iPhone Snaps



And who do you call when your main video camera rig goes down? Yep, that's me w/ a Fig Rig capturing some motion picture hotness haha.

Chloe, You Bounce To-And-Frowey

Ok, this lil' ball of energy is named Chloe. She's the recently-turned-5 lil' munchkin of an old car buddy of mine. She was the reason I'm considering buying a real speedlight to deal with changing lighting conditions and a kid who likes to run around close to the camera, then far away, then somewhere in between lol.

Anyway, on to the show. Here are a few of my favs:





Maybe I should concentrate on Black & White? Hmm...


This one's just plain AWESOME!


So that's her. Her personality is as bright as her sweater! And I figured if I can make good pictures of her, I can photograph almost anyone! ;)

1 & 1, We're Havin' Some Fun...

So here I present newlyweds Jason and Mary Beck! Yay!

I've known Mary since my AMC theater days back in 2001 and was actually pretty shocked when I heard she was getting married. I didn't even know she was dating anyone lol. But it's all good, though. Jason's actually a damn cool guy and I mos def approve. :) It just sucks he likes Newcastle over Corona. IMO, there's only two kinds of beer that go well w/ Mexican food (which was offered at the reception); Corona and Brahma. :p

Well, enough of that...Let's get on w/ the show!












This was an awesome learning experience. I had to get off work early since I was working all the way up in Oceanside and had to rush through traffic and heaps of downtown construction to get there just in time for the ceremony. I also learned that I really need to get a better on-camera flash. Since I upgraded from my Rebel XT, I haven't gotten a chance to get a compatible flash for my 5D2. I spent all my money on studio strobes...lé poo. So QUICK! Hire me! :D

Shirt...

I seriously wear this shirt too much. :p

Band Aids

Last week I assisted local photog ninja Jeff Murillo on a shoot for the band Six Reasons at DK3 Studios. It was an awesome experience and I was able to show off my Hallmark muscle. Everyone there was definitely impressed.

Here's a behind the scenes setup shot on Twitter.

And here's some outtakes of me as a stand-in:



Good stuffs and I look forward to working with him again!

Import Tuner

So that shot of Cyrus' Z that I posted a few months ago?

Well, some of you know. Most of you probably do not...but I made it into Import Tuner! March 2010 to be exact. Granted, it's only the Longshots section, it's still something. ^_^

Ronald McDonald House Charities San Diego

So, I was flipping through the channels and after landing on the Winter Olympics for a few minutes, I saw a TV spot for the 6th Annual Dream House Raffle I photo assisted. It was kind of surreal because the nanosecond it came on, my finger was already changing the channel but since I caught a glimpse of a familiar image I quickly looked for the "Last" button on the remote...and there she was. It was a real pretty home, too in a nice location.

It was a cool experience and I think I made a good connection with the photographer, Jaime Fritsch, and look forward to working with him in the future.

Anyway, if you got the cash, please take time to join in on the raffle. I know I'd LOVE to win it.
