Off Site Work
Through out this year, I have hit many roadblocks that is holding me back from becoming a known photographer. But that is just how life is. We have to adjust to make things happen. What slowed me down is the fact with all these updates, uploads, downloads and so on. It caused my computer to crash, plus my computer is old and is in need of upgrading. And that is another thing that slowed me down, the need to upgrade. I cannot upgrade since my job has cut my hours due to the change of seasons. So my source of income has plummeted, but I have invested in some small gadgetry to work on some photos and work on my images on the iPad, with the help of Snapseed. So without further a due, here are my recent work. These photos will be added to my portfolio in the near future.
Every photo taken in this section between both parties, me and the subject(s), have given me the verbal rights agreement to post these images.
Back Up and Running
It has been a rough year or so... Just to get things back and running. So, taking little steps to get things going again.
Modeling Gig - Test Shoot
That's right ladies and gentleman! You heard me! I was a modeling guinea pig , test subject, for my cousin's photo shoot. I have always wanted to be a model and I was never afraid to be in front of the camera. But I never had the body or the looks to be in the business. I am too short for it, but I know I could do some lower end model shoots. But either way, my passion is in photography. It is my bread and butter.

Two New Books
Recently bought two books today. Keeping myself updated in the photography field.
Did you know Drew Barrymore is a photographer? That totally suprised me!
Jeff Vespa, Celebrity Photographer, at the New York Film Academy in Burbank, California
Had the opportunity to attend this venue "Q & A with Jeff Vespa, Celebrity Photographer" at the New York Film Academy in Burbank, California. He is one the top photographers out there in the industry. At this venue, he showed several photos of his work like Seth Rogen, Miley Cyrus and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He is also the Co-Founder of WireImage and Editor-at-Large.
Not the best of lighting, just a quick snapshot with Jeff Vespa.
California's Sunset Effect on Clouds
This evening sunset, in California, was none other the best one I have ever seen for this year. Ever since the the drought has happened, warm days and nights. There where never clouds in sight. I maybe overseeing this, but it felt that way. Well this evening was such a nice view, I had to take some photos of the clouds. Not much of a cloud photographer, but I'll make an exception for this case.
The clouds looked like they were going to burn the sky away.
And yes, I will make a Rothko-like photo for my series on Instagram.
DCA - Carthay Circle
As usual. I at least post one image at a point in time. None other than a photo from Disney California Adventures. This time, I took a photo of one of the sides of the Carthay Circle Restaurant.
Disney's California Adventure - Grizzly River Run
Here is one of my night shots of the ride. I will be adding more when I have the right amount to upload.
Carmine Filter - PS Express App
I was just playing around with my iPhone5s and messing around with this APP called "PS EXPRESS." I came across this one filter that works to my liking. It's called "Carmine." Works in relatively to selective coloring. I like this look, I may start a series on the photography.
