The crazyness of Nate

So one of the cool thing of going to shows is getting the chance to see new bands and meet new people. Nate plays for a band coming out of the great city of Bakersfield, he plays in a band called "Silence O Israel". Today I was moved by a post he did on facebook by asking for some prayer for some of my friends. This is one way that I can say thankyou for doing that.






Sorry about not posting anything lately, life is weird now.

Out-takes from the photoshoot

Here are some pictures from the awesome day we had at the beach. I am very proud of the guys, they handled the water very well. I give them the fact that the waves were harsh that day, and if I was standing where they where, I would have been afraid to. The girl with us was a friend that works with Mike and I and came with us to help out taking video.

Day at the Beach

I spent the day at the beach with the Moon boys as we did the promo's for their EP that is coming out in March. Seeing how it is 1 in the morning and I finally got ready for bed, this is all your getting.

***A very big thankyou goes out to two great amazing friends that help make this photoshoot helpfull. To Bakka and Taylor, thankyou for blessing me, you two are just amazing to me. Thankyou for the lense.

The Parade of Religion

I haven't been to the Rose Parade in a couple years, and I decided to take my youth group. It was a fun time and everything happened like I thought it would. People got cold, tired, and had an amazing time. One thing that always intrigues me is the religious people that are there, And it seems like as the years go by, the more of them show up.


Now, I am not one to judge people on there religion, I myself am a Christian, but what makes me intrigued is the method that people use to minister to people. I just don't know how far these sign work. I tried to get pictures of this one guy held, and it read "God caused 9-11". Their were all faiths pulling out the stops last night, Christian Science was giving out free hot coco, Some kind of Budah Yoga was passing out flyers.



Now if you ask me if I had a problem with any of them, no......well there was one guy. He came up to my group and was passing out something, I asked him to stop and go to the next group. He keep passing thing out to my kids, and I asked him a little more direct to stop. He just looked up at me with a stare that said, I am going to do whatever I want. I looked at him again and told him a a loud angry stern voice, "I told you to stop and go." The sad thing was, the flyer was for some so called christian cult thing.

The Mix Tape.....

will see you next year. I hope you have been having an amazing season.

Im Blue

I want, and I need a wide angle lense soon. I am about to go crazy. I think I should change this blog and keep track of my ride into crazy town, and I am not talking about the band. "Come come my lady, you're my butterfly Sugar, baby."

Santa Barbara

This past Sunday I was able to go down to Santa Barbara to visit my old church threw college. It was an awesome time seeing old friends, and being able to hang out with Gardner, who is an amazing friend from camp victory. Just a side note from the trip, I wish when you get cotton candy flavor ice cream, I wish that it would come more of a manly color, allot of people looked at me weird.

help

It has been awhile, does anybody want to go take pictures with me. The only thing that I require is you have a love for taking pictures. Lets go and snap some pictures.

More of the Bay

Here are some more from the bay area trip.

Panorama

Last Thursday, my father and I went up to the bay area to spread my Grandmothers ashes. It was a very beautiful day. I had an awesome time riding threw the bay, we stopped about a mile past the golden gate bridge and spread the ashes. I will post more from the trip later, but I had fun trying to do pans.

Good News, Sucky News

So the good news being that a friend of mine asked if I would do her senior portraits. It was a very fun day with her, and it helped that she was very beautiful. She was an awesome girl.





So being the bad news, on this photo shoot my wide angle lens was stolen, and talking about suck. I loved that lens, it was the one that I use to shoot all my band stuff. I shot a band last night using a so-to-say regular lens (28-80) and it was just not the same. So if anyone would love to bless me with a wide angle (For Canon digital 40D), I would be very very very thankful and love to take pictures of you with it.

Homeless connect

I'd covered an event here called homeless connect, it was a pretty cool but hard event. The homeless is a hard subject to photograph. You want to get a good picture, but none of them want to get their picture taken, can you blame them, no. So I walked around and just tried to talk to as many people as possible and just talk to them, then ask if I could get a picture of them. One of the hardest things was watching the dogs, there was a vet there giving the pets some meds. One dog was so bad that the vet told the guy that the dog didn't have long to live. It was a hard event to be at but seeing the community get together was really cool.

Fun part two

So I thought I would do one more post of the awesome pictures of Fun.
