Happy Independence Day!

Not really into burning money, but I love watching people burn their money away with fireworks. It was a great day to enjoy the company of family, friends, good food and some out of state fireworks.

Qoute game

Instead of an assignment assigned from one of our guest photographers we have for class, we got to play a game. It was a fun game introduced to me by Walter Urie.

Each photographer would write a quote on a piece of paper, fold it and drop it in a hat to be drawn by someone else.

The purpose of the game was to do inspired photographs by the quote each of us wrote and another one that we randomly chose out of that hat that was written by someone else.

The main rule was to not tell anyone which quote you wrote and chose. So when we all met again weeks later, one person would start it off with the image that they randomly drew out of the hat. We would critique it, have fun and laugh guessing what the quote was, and then continue by having the person who assigned the quote match it with theirs photograph.

There were some crazy gnarly quotes I have never heard of and glad that I didn't get.


My quote was "Never too old"


The one I drew out of the hat was "Quick as a whip"

Yumi & Max

Snapped a couple photos of my cousin Yumi and her son Max during my nieces birthday. Used the photos as well in my Ad Illustrations class this past spring semester. The ad was assigned by local commercial photographer Scott Montgomery. The ad was to show 2 separate generations interacting for a health insurance ad.

Lining up with school

I was inspired by Kris "Inkyfingerz" photographs. He is a very talented photographer, especially in capturing things for more than what they are in our daily lives.

Over the semester, I would shoot randomly to and from class, as well as on breaks. I didn't realize how many great opportunities are there in front of me when I'm at school. Glad I had the p&s with me on these days.

Bigger than Life

I was helping a couples buddies out in Los Angeles, and while we were sitting in traffic, I noticed these larger than life ads for "Proactive" with Kety Perry and the movie "Date Night" with Tina Fey and Steve Carell.

Alta Coffee

Went out with my wife, sister and my buddy Karan to Alta Coffee in Newport Beach, CA. Great little coffee shop with an amazing atmosphere. Havent been shooting leisurely for my pleasure, so I decided to bring out the cam. Snapped a couple images over coffee, Arnold Palmer,(for me since I dont drink coffee) and of course direct social networking.
