Jake is on it again!!!

Here were some of the fun photos I did with Jake. It was like a tribute photo which helped him get sponsored by Siege Fitness. He's rocking the new gas mask photo for the new line up. But I had him wear the gas mask from before. It more of a business photo shoot until the end. I always need to take a picture that's fun. Not just product photography. It was cool messing with lighting, some shadows and something little bit different. Hopefully I can do more with it when I find a new camera. I hate borrowing other people's things, especially a camera. I feel like I'm missing something in my life. I've had my 20D as long as I've been shooting. But it long over due. I'm looking at the Canon 50D. I don't want to lose any of my lens. I just need a new body. I would like a 7D or a full framed body, but that's outside my budget. I just need something to shoot with. Ahhhhh.....Stressin' out son!!!


Vape! VAPE! VAAAAAPE!!!!

Just wrapped up a photo shoot with Siege Fitness Athlete Jake. I was feeling super stressed out, so I decided to vape. The camera stuff was still out, so I took some pictures while doing it. Super quick and easy. Nothing special. Did some Tornadoes and some O's. Simple set up using an off camera flash. Just grabbed a little black side table from Ikea and used some black butcher paper in the background. Lighting is from behind, fired remotely using my radiopopper Jr. Here were some quick edits. I just love how organic smoke/vape is. Trying to manipulate the smoke is just as fun. It makes me think I'm an airbender. Hahaa.

Mel's achievement of reaching 31 years old.

Someone is getting old! Sooo old she got herself a knitting kit. Hahaa. GENIUS!!! It was a fun night for sure. It all started at Seaport Village's Puesto for some Taco Tuesday. Gourmet tacos ranging from Baja fish tacos to high end tacos of filet mignon. Ohhh....$2 Tecates didn't hurt either. Since it was Mel's birthday, she was being fed alcohol and presents like no other. You think she's drunk in these pictures...thats just her normal look. She has Chandler syndrome with pictures, doesn't know how to take a good picture. But we all love her for that. Hahaa. Plus....she don't give a fuck. Everyone has a story to tell about Mel, they were being told that night for sure. New stories were being made that night too.  I just wanted to share some of the photos from the night. I haven't posted in a while, but this will definitely get the ball rolling again. So if you're wondering about the prison pics...yeah, we went there. From line up shots to finding our cell. 

I'll be sure to upload more pictures from my current and future projects too. Visit soon. Like always...thanks for stopping by.
