Wedding season is getting into full swing and I have a busy few months coming up. Besides the wedding work I have to do I continue working for Krieghoff designing new layouts for their print media. But the real passion is in my photography. Being able to mold ideas out of my brain and capture them in print.

My next two shoots are ideas that were born deep inside my brain, these two have been working inside of me for a long time. The idea remains the same, but the little details have been changing. A good friend of mine introduced me to an amazing painter, Koral I admire his work and what he is able to capture, and that will be an influence in the creation of both of these works.

The locations have been picked, one will be around the Disney Concert Hall, and the other at the LACMA lights. The models are getting ready. One of the models you have met before, Hemi. She is studying to become a PA specializing in surgery. The other one is a new model for me, but a friend from long ago, well not that long. The wonders of facebook, meeting friends again after many days have gone by. She is an amateur ballroom dancer, and she dances with passion. I can not wait to capture that and bring both of these ideas to life.

As I sit and dream about creating that art, I have to get back to the work at hand, making beautiful art for my customers. I love it when they beam and talk about the work I did for them, that makes me continue to work hard and create for them. With that I leave you this...

Greetings to all who may be reading this, I am sorry for the super long delay in posting anything new. I have had the opportunity to shoot some really great people and events. From working with my good friend Spider
Photobucket


to continuing my personal project that is my Dancing Series. That project has been so much fun to do, but yet very time consuming. Each photograph has hours of preplanning involved, then the shoot, and finally the post production work. So far the plan is for a total of 5 pictures. You have seen the first one, my "Angel of the Garden." The next one after that "Violinista Del Amanacer" was shot up in Joshua Tree. That morning started at 3 am. We had to be ready to shoot at sunrise! It was a great shoot that produced some amazing colors.

I have my next three planned out, but of course since this is a side project they have to wait until I have free time and some extra cash! I will be posting some of the weddings and some baby shoots next.

I hope you enjoy my work, and thank you for taking an interest in my art.
