Matching Tattoos
Went to get matching tattoos with Jenni and about 8-9 other people accompanied us, hahaha.
Gawd, this batch is beyond horrendous, but it's okay.

Nov. 19, 2011, Messing with a Godlike Preference
Oh my, oh dear.
It has taken me a long while, but I've finally conquered this batch. Put together for my photo final (film, 35mm: HERE; digital shots: HERE), but along came these additional digital shots, as well. I am proud of these. I've gone a long way since I've first started my journey of snapping shots, but I'm getting there.

Special thanks to Carlos I. and Cody S.!

Here's a story:
About a boy encased in wonder, but surrounded by darkness. Through this darkness he finds light and defeats all through sheer will.

Christmas Eve!

Happy Holidays, everyone.

I still got a few presents to attain, but seeing as I won't have access to actually give them their presents, I've postponed those gifts, heh. As for the few here... I didn't get much, just little things here and there. Hopefully everyone enjoys their gifts.

I had a blaaaast wrapping them.
Next year will be a different theme, hehehe.
Enjoi~!

Acquired items.
Things I've hoarded through my own gathering with money and stumbling upon to being gifted i.e. the brown camera bag. Shout out to Vannessa! Thanks a shit ton, man!

Seattle, the film days!
I'm about 6 months late on updating this part of my Seattle trip, but whatever! I got a scanner and finally scanned them.

Money is somewhat available to me, now. Therefore, in this next upcoming year, I'll be shooting with film more often and developing, too. So, look forward to those.

Anyway!
Enjoi~!

As a celebration of the semester end, a bunch of my friends and I went to the new hookah lounge near the college. Great service and you definitely get your money's worth. 

I really dig this small series. Despite the grain, I feel it actually adds to the overall theme.
Enjoi~!

Everyday Rebel Shoot for Shoot Them All Magazine
Order HERE.

Tried to convey the subtle side of being an everyday rebel.
Succeeded or failed, you be the critic.

Thanks to Tyler J. for putting up with me, thanks to Cody for the hair!
Nonetheless, it was fun.

the Impossible Triangle!
I don't recall a damn thing..., but Tom and I accompanied Tyler to Body Accents (correct me if I'm wrong), to get a tattoo.

The Iceberggg
I had Tom and Tyler "model" for me seeing as I needed to turn in black and white portrait prints for a final project. Did a simple shoot in the LQ Cove and went hiking along with Brenda and Tom's good friend, Ashley (a different one, not my Ashley).

I miss days like these.
Enjoy~!

Kyle and Rain
Chill morning and early afternoon with the little beast, then off to work. It rained in the desert for a day and I couldn't resist the beauty of the after glow of rain. So, I took along my camera to work and snapped a few. Nothing fancy at all.

Seattle jar fund!

My next chapter in life has gotten me to set my priorities for Seattle, Washington. Saving up for the next two to three years.

That is where my life will officially begin.

My minimum goal is 5k.
So far, only about $370.
So much more to go, sadly.
Wish me luck!

Santa Barbara welcomes, Ivette and I:
Death Cab for Cutie with special guest, Explosions in the Sky!!!
It's almost been a month since then. Work has really gotten to me, but thank jeezus I am finally updating!

The way to SB, I used my D90, but once we made it to the concert, I had to retire my plastic and hunk of metal child. I took with me a Sony CyberShot to capture what I could. Bare with me. They aren't the best but I put some love into 'em in order to capture what energy I felt. It was a marvelous day and night. My friendship with Ivette grew because of it and the experience of being free was spectacular. I couldn't ask for anything more.

We hit the road around 1PM, stopped at Jack after about two hours of driving. Made it to SB Bowl, and I felt alive. Bought two Explosions in the Sky tees. One por me and one por my lovely lady, Ashley. Explosions played right at 7PM for 40 to 50 minutes, non stop. They fucking killed. About a 10 minute intermission and Death Cab came on. They are quite splendid live. It made me appreciate them-- more than before.

Well, enjoy! (:
