This show was curated by Elizabeth Digiovanni. I was in charge of taking pictures of the event, which was a total hit. the pieces were amazing. there was a lot of people and I had a great time, Thank you Elizabeth for letting me be part of this!
Among good people, good food, wine, and fire. It is always fun to talk hang outside by a fire, talk about art, and eat strawberries.
I must say that this day was just amazing!! We saw more galleries/museums than one can see in a month. Talked with the artist, learn about what they had to do to get to where they are now. Very inspiring. LA has just so much to offer. You just have to go outside and walk around. below is a collection of murals, right outside across from LACMA , and after that some pics from LAX Art . We then went to another 10+ galleries. ended the night eating Ethiopian food ( amazing), and a round around China Town to finish the day.
Summer Camp has started and its loaded with a bunch of adventures!!! Summer camp people just care about doing things that 75 percent of the group haven’t done yet. like training a condor to say “hi”, eating rocks, and under water basket weaving (which is harder than most people give it credit for! so far its been so much fun!!!
A weekend ago I did a pregnancy shot for Stephen and Stephanie. They are cute couple that got engaged in Disney, got marry in Disney, and it was only natural that we took the pics in Disney territory. They are such a good looking couple it was easy taking pictures. I had a great time, congrats to both of them and soon to be born baby Malvina. Here are some of the pictures.
Inspired on surrealism, specially Rene Magritte, I decided to do a shoot that would recreated in a way some of the craziness that surrealism had. Thank you to Carly Cram, Milena Merino, and Pedro Flores who helped me bring this to life. I was very happy with the results hope you like them too.
I was working on a project with the help my friend David. He was a marine. I thought of doing a series of portraits of Military people and their families, telling their stories, and how their experience might of affected them or not. How are they dealing with being out? What are they doing now? It turns out that most of the people I talked to were marines, and they had gone over seas at least 3 times. Some of this guys are a little troubled, they are still adjusting to just being just regular people. I learned that most of them have seen things I just don’t think I would be OK afterwards, and I have so much respect for what they’ve done and whatever they will do. For the next few portraits I went to some of their homes and went out for drinks a couple of times with others. Its being great to getting to know them.
Last week Maricarmen helped me do a shot for an assignment. we were trying to re-do an ad. we head out to look for a stable that would let us do it for free, and the first one we stopped at happen to be perfect. Versa the owner was more than nice, showed us around and even let us pet Mackenna and give her carrots in exchange of hugs. yes, the horse would give you hugs and would come to you. thank you Maricarmen for running around for me, i know you hate it and you still do it. thanks! it was a fun day and here are some of the pics. till next time, peace
The weekend of spring break my friend Krista Skustad ( check out her blog she is crazy cool photographer) invited me to her Rock Band Party. I had never played this game before. It was pretty cool. We all had a few drink and it was just a very fun night. Here are some pics of that day plus a few others because they just felt like they belonged together.
My cousin Octavio has been working on getting his new business going. He is working pretty hard, and the doughnut shop is looking real nice. i wish him the best! A few weeks ago I was there for a little bit and snapped a few shots of him and Erica.
