Summer Itinerary.
In three weeks I'll be home, for about two weeks, so we'll call this- "chilling out"
In five weeks I'll be in Ojai for about two and a half months- "working"
After that I'll be back home for another month before school starts- "Chilling out/getting organized"
These are my plans.
Goals are as follows.
Earn enough money for...
Canon 5d mark II
Mamiya R67 pro
and enough left over to buy what I deem necessary for a successful start to a photographic career. I doubt I'll have enough money to even buy the first thing, but oh well some people are asking me to shoot their weddings, but I don't really want to...at least not yet, but sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. |

| Beach Study |
[Apr. 5th, 2009|05:05 pm] |
I went out yesterday to try out my new gels I bought. I have concluded from this adventure yesterday, that in order to have a successful shoot at the beach you need either to be shooting with a shit tun more lights than I had or be shooting on the east coast. The pictures turned out ok but during the actual shoot it was cool because people assumed that kyle (my model) was as professional surfer and that I was a professional photographer. Both of which we were cool with. Their a couple more on my flickr if you want to check them out.
For this shoot I had two flashes both going at full power pretty much the whole time, the one on the left with a blue gel on it (look at the surfboard and you can tell) and the other one with a amber gel.

I've been climbing more now than i have in my entire life and i love it. San Luis has such a sick community of climbers and most of them aren't totally bro. There was a comp this week so i left class early to go shoot it. Heres one of the shots.

So I got "conditionally" accepted to Cal Poly, this pretty much means it all comes down to my portfolio to get in, I need 15 color images and 5 black and white. Most my pictures I have aren't posed and are just happening in the element, but i decided to go out this weekend and do some more formal portraiture. Here is what I got.

| The Winter Break Blog |
[Jan. 25th, 2009|03:12 pm] |
I've been meaning to do this for a couple of weeks but I've found time to do it now... so here we go.
Well winter break was sick, I went to the mountains, I hung out with family, hung out with friends that I normally dont get to because of distance, and improved upon relationships that were up until now were stagnant. Over all I had a very good time. I'm looking forward to summer where we can all meet up again. The only downside is I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked,but whatever. Here are a few pictures that loosely document my break.
Oh yeah I turn 21 this tuesday. so that should be sweet, going to sushi then maybe a bar. |

I'm so just agrivated and pissed off right now for almost no reason. I just want to go out and slam my head into a wall, and i don't know why. I just need to get away, considering hawaii , maybe austrailia to finish out the rest the time zack has over there. I don't know, I'm just kinda done.

EDIT:
I've calmed down a lot, I was trying to think of what was making me so upset, I found it and i handled it. |

I've been going off a lot on my own lately. Pretty much every night of the past two weeks I've been sitting on my back porch at three am sitting thinking praying. Half the time i don't even know what I'm thinking but I know its beautiful. I haven't been upset in a long time now, a wave of contentness has washed over me. Its been good. I just got done with my bike ride through the rain, right when i was done the clouds parted and illuminate the street in pink and yellow light. I don't know what this post is exactly about, maybe just to say we live in a beautiful confusing world. My life is strange but i want to make it stranger. |

| In my mind |
[Dec. 6th, 2007|01:37 pm] |
I haven't got much sleep lately, questions are always swirling around in my head. My life may or may not look really different in a few months. I keep on praying and looking for answers, but I have no idea what's going to happen. probably nothing, and that is a problem in and of itself.
I feel like im nuts and if i explain myself more people will think im nuts.

ps you should read these lyrics/listen to this song by minus the bear, for me it creates a beautiful image in my mind. It makes me want to travel the rest of my life.
"Midnight on a beach in the Mediterranean
And I miss you
Even here, taking it all in
The sand, silvered, carries the moon on its shoulders
Is it possible to put this night to tune, and move it to you?
Don't cry, I'll bring this home to you,
If I can make this night light enough to move
Don't cry, i'll bring this home to you
Cargo ships move by, tracing on the horizon line
There's a luster from the city lights on the waves that kiss our feet
And we're thinkin' of goin' in (thinkin' of goin' in),
The time's getting thin
Don't cry I'll bring this home to you,
If I can make this night light enough to move
Don't cry I'll bring this home to you,
If I can make this, if I can make this...
Don't cry I'll bring this home to you,
If I can make this night light enough to move
Don't cry I'll bring this home to you
This is a city for not sleeping; The clocks are set by feel
At this moment, from where I sit, none of it seems real
Don't cry I'll bring this home to you,
If I can make this night light enough to move
Don't cry I'll bring this home to you,
If I can make this night light enough to move
If I can make this, if I can make this move
If I can make this move" |

Today was good, minus that my tooth fell out in front of a whole bunch of people and chipped. I worked out, went to church and ran into some old friends. I can't wait to come home and see everyone again, i excited thinking about how much this break is going to rule. |

| Polar Express |
[Nov. 30th, 2007|02:56 pm] |

The polor express is probably the most visually stunning movie i have ever seen! Its just beautiful, I watched it last night in bed and i didn't want to go to sleep because it was too pretty to take my eyes off of. Someday I hope I take a picture that will do that. |

[Nov. 27th, 2007|02:56 pm] |

I want to spend some time watching old movies. I really really like the old black and white ones. They are so beautiful because they are so simple. The men actually act like MEN in those films and treat the women like LADIES, as apposed to todays hollywood image of sex and money is all you need. |
