Indio Swap Meet

Not sure when this was.
Maybe Late Dec. 2011 or early Jan. 2012.
A night, perhaps a Wednesday or a Saturday. Spent the evening with Carlos mostly. Ivette and Daniel joined in afterwards and during our happenings ran across Arlyn and Janet.

Days in Georgia & Florida!
This summer I visited my family in Georgia. Took a road trip to Orlando, FL and I spent about 3-4 days within the beautiful city and their amusement parks.

These play as key pieces towards my wonderful summer.
Enjoy!

All were taken with Canon A-1.
Film varied from Memories 99 Cents 200ISO, Kodak GOLD 200ISO, & Fujifilm 200ISO.

Days with Carlos

Carlos Idelfonzo
One of my close friends, Carlos Idelfonzo.
I've known him since Sophomore year in high school if I may recall correctly. We never expected to become such good friends, but life is full of surprises. As the years past, the more we started to become acquainted, we found that we'd play such important roles within one another's lives. Thank you for all those days of listening to me ramble about my troubles. Thank you for all those fun nights out doing juvenile things. Thank you for everything.
I love you.

P.S. - Sorry, we haven't had our one on one time, but I dedicate this post to you, bro.

Circa Dec. 2011 & FALL Semester 2011

Nightly Visit

December 15, 2011
"Hey, dude, Jenni, you gotta' stay very still or else it won't work, man."
"What?! But, that's impossible!"

I got off work, raced to Jenni's house and by some miracle I had my camera that day.
I haven't seen her for over a year I believe. She got a transfer from Japan to San Diego and she came back to visit.

When You're Alone

I'm not some philosophical genius, but I sure as heck know that most individuals sure spend a ton of time alone. Time thinking about the people around them and who they're involved with. The people they love, to the people they outright loathe, but that's not necessarily the point. It's more so that I'm sure I'm not the only one who spends my leisure time feeling sad and feeling happy. Thinking of all that I wish to do with my life. All that I may never do, but will try anyway. Using that time to accomplish all these tasks given to us or keeping one's priority in check. Or not doing a single thing at all, but here's what I'm saying. I appreciate all that time to myself. Whether I do feel lonely or not, that's not the big picture. The big picture is how anytime these occasions take place, it's a time of growth. A time of reflection and review.

Well here's a small series of all the times I let myself be consumed by my own personal solitude.
Circa Feb. 2012 to May 2012 at the latest.

Kyle the Jumping Child
Some flash fun, fish eye fun, and most of all Kyle learns to jump!

Self
I want to gush about my intensity for photography, but I'd sound like a spazzing maniac. But here's to trying. 

I could never completely explain the passion running through my veins when I'm walking through this life. My eyes are unique just like everyone else's out there. We all see certain things and perceive the world around us in ways others' may never know. My purpose, mymotivation for what I do is simply my urge of trying to record my exact thoughts and vision. Of life itself. My exact view from my very own view finder. I'm here as another human, simply trying to figure a way to communicate exactly what lies within myself. For the world, for those who choose to take their time and take a gander at how I perceive this world. So thank you for spending a few seconds to minutes of your day. I appreciate all that take the time.

Thank you, sincerely.

the Avenger's Midnight Premiere!
I remember it vaguely, but I literally spent the entire day with Danny and Grae. Campus, mall, Grae's haus and I had my first taste of Mrs. Grimes' delicious, Strawberry Tacos! There were a few who joined in, here and there. Brenda hung with us for a while in the evening. We discovered those yummiful Neuro drinks at Jensen's and then the premiere. Which was ah-mazing! 

I love you guys, man.
