wow a full 3,000 views here on DA, first i wana say THANK YOU ALL!!!! and second that i seriously need to update this journal!


ok well, jcollege life is pretty great, im in the theater program and LOVING IT! we did a production of Urinetown a few weeks back and it was possibly the best experience of my life. the people are amazing and made me and it feel like family, the show was very professional, i learned a lot just in under 3 weeks, probably more than i had the entire semester in any class i have taken there. but yeah i am super excited to keep going, honing my craft (i do back stage stuff TECHIE!!!) and i will hopefully take some pictures of our events and show all of you what im talking about. and about my recent stuff...

Im not really worried/focused on finding myself or a style, i just go out and shoot now when i can or whenever im bored or when i have an idea. ive realized that, THAT is what makes a style possible, just doing things. not contemplating on little details or themes to have in each photo. It feels that the shell of high school has been shed, and sure i may have learned things there, but the whole stigma and how social things are run is just not there anymore, like i have grown out of it which is quite a good feeling. because i am in a much better situation now with loving friends and TONS of support for my passions! couldnt ask for a better situation right now.

I have been sorta planning on going shooting with some friends anytime in the next month or so, so i will try to keep up and post when i have time/energy but it will happen dont you worry!

once again THANK YOU

Hi there again, so as usual i am not happy with my recent work. still lacks a unique style, and Im really running out of patience, creativity, and energy to put into them. no im not giving up but I just need some more guidance perhaps, an apprenticeship maybe. I really want to work on Portraiture as a career someday and I would like to find some grasp in that direction.
but right now im stuck in a loop, just putting things up that i kind of like....ugh, maybe im just hungry, i get grouchy when im hungry.

Just kind of another rant of mine...as usual :/

any feedback on this or what ever you like, is very much appreciated as always

sooo hello everyone, glad to see you again, and thank you for all the views/favs/comments etc I really appreciate it very much.

I have been shooting a bit more than the past few months because ive had a good amount of free time and a wonderful person to tag along with ! things have been going well, still having trouble getting a job though gahhahhahhahhha!!!! but im not going to let that get my spirits down no sir. I hope to be shooting a bit more in the future, at various places.


just to keep you informed on where, we've been all around San Francisco, Berkeley, and Albany for the most part but there is a lotta potential for aggressive expansion. If there is any place around the bay area that you know that is good to shoot at let me know and maybe we can all go together!! lol I might post some more of the stuff already taken, who knows...I knows.

ok haha i'm done ranting catch yea all later!

so, moments ago I just uploaded a new photo, and it is alright, just thought it looked interesting so id thought to share it. but as i looked at my gallery section of my profile, i still notice that i am just putting up random shots that peak my interest. I still have yet to find something to stick to. which is kind of frustrating because my adult life has just started ( I graduated high school a few days ago YAYY!!). I know I still have time, but i am just tired of misc photos being posted. idk just a nagging observation i had.


on a brighter note, i just purchased a Canon 40D and LOVE IT!!! much more pro than my rebel, I hope to make great use of it in the coming months. now my next mission (besides getting a job) is to find a suitable lens to go along with it. Any suggestions? I currently use a sigma 18-200 3.5-6.3 and a canon 50mm f1.8. ive been looking at the Canon 28-105mm 3.5-5.6.

As always, thanks for reading my rantings.

Hey everyone, so a bit of an update, school is almost out so that means ive been hunkering down and pushing towards the finish line, so I havnt really been able to shoot which is kindof a bummer, but we get out soon and that means i will be out soon as well taking more photos. oh and also ive come down with mono as well!! fun stuff right? so just another hurdle in my never ending quest for greatness.
