I love hangin' out with my friends that I call family. We don't need the a ball to drop, fancy drinks, high end hotels to have a good time. Put us all together with some alcohol and we always make good times. Holidays man, bringing everyone together.
One of my favorite things to talk about is life. Everyone has their own life experiences and willing to share to others. We all reflected on 2012 and said some good and bad things of the year. We are all extremely proud of what we accomplished in the past year but are never satisfied. I was talking to Albert, Mando, Virgil. One common thing each of those guys said was to be happy and follow your heart. Sounds corny, but the ego always gets in the way of things at times. I don't know if I was buzz'd but it
Another thing that was cool this past night, I don't think I touched my camera as much as I normally do. I think everyone is use to having my camera around where they don't need to bring theirs. Of course people will upload to IG/FB from their phones. But I was too busy talking and drinking where everyone else handled my camera. They know how to use it from watching me. So its odd finding myself on the other side of the lens. I really need to practice my smiling. I tend to squint a lot. Hahaa. I guess it can be a near years resolution/goal. Hahahaa.
The highlight of the night was Jess transferring her slap to Malas to slap Jason. Jess had a bet she wouldn't eat a single fry for an entire year. Guess what...she won. I'm sure shes eating fries as she watches the slide show. Hahaa. So Jason manned up and got was coming. Hahaa.
Like always, thanks for looking. 2013, lets do it big. Health, Spirit, Mind, Wealth.

2011 FAIL!!!! 2012 is here!!
Happy New Years to all my family and friends. I'm thankful that I started the New Years right with the people I love! It wasn't EVERYONE, but I can fully say I Love Everyone in these pictures!!
Looking back at 2011, it was disappointing year in term of my photography. I didn't do a single thing on it!!! I think, or I want to believe it was because of my financial lane. I moved out of my parent's house, paying rent definitely hurt my photography budget. So this year, I have I re-evaluated my goals to something more realistic, AND AND i know how to achieve them too. LOL!!!
1. A lot of people talk about photography and want to see my work. Whats the best way of promoting it? Through a business/calling card. I plan on working with some designers in Long Beach called Fresh Print Design, super cool kids. They are familiar with my work so I trust them on helping me make a logo and creating some sweet looking calling cards. They're a new shop. But check them out and hopefully you'll see my work on their site/shop. http://www.freshprintsdesign.com/
2. How long have I've been using the same equipment? I'm not complaining about it one bit, but it does show its age. So I plan on purchasing a new body sometime mid year. Aiming for a Canon 7D or hopefully they'll have a 7D Mark II!!!! I've been saving strictly for a new camera. Every paycheck, I hide $100 for the ultimate goal of a new camera.
3. I definitely like exploring new photography, I want to buy the Canon 100mm 2.8 macro lens. Hopefully with tax return i can buy a used lens off craigslist because they stopped making this lens. Sweet looking lens. Its a prime too.
4. Do more gigs. A lot of people are encouraging me to charge for my photos, it doesn't hurt to do some events every once in a while to support my hobby. I still have my 9-5 job to support my real living. DAMN!!! Photography is expensive!!!
I'm also trying something new and uploading some slide shows onto Vimeo. I would use YouTube but they are super strict with music rights.
Happy New Year and thanks for looking.
