Well I didn’t forget to update my blog I just didn’t have the time. It’s finals week and what can I say? GO LAKERS! Seriously though, school is almost over and I have one more final left to finish. Fell behind on a few things, keeping up with my e-mails being one, sorry Sarah. I haven’t had time to do much of anything photography related, however, I did take a few minutes to “re-access” the goals of my blog. In addition to keeping a record of the progress I make, sharing my photo-related endeavors as well as the techniques behind them I’ve also decided to add product reviews. I think this would be helpful for those who are getting into photography, deciding on adding new gear or perhaps going to the next level, for those who read my blog. I’m not rich and I don’t exactly get new gear everyday (although Nicole would disagree), I do try to get what I think is necessary and beneficial in my photography experiments whether store bought or self made. I could definitely improve my writing skills too…
So I leave you with another picture. This one taken going 105MPH on the 10 freeway West, just kidding! I thought this picture accurately represents what my catch phrase is on my blog, EYES: “Express Yourself for Everyone to See, your world through your EYES.” Everyday we describe things, to our friends, family and others with words expressed in different languages, tones, an/or several text messages, etc. We can’t really say what we see or what we think in an accurate manner because our language does limit us in many ways. This is one of the values of photography, we can show someone a photograph and instantly without words they see what we see (unless you are taking those tricky ones). I still remember one of things Genaro Molina spoke of when I first met him, whenever you take a picture, you are recording history, a moment in time that will never ever happen again. So, for those of us who try or can express ourselves successfully through photography there is a sense of satisfaction, accomplishment and joy that can’t be explained and is the reason many of us love photography. So this is what the picture above represents, a moment in time that I could not describe to you however articulate I may be, the world through my eyes.
PS: (I wasn’t wearing glasses at the time) :]

I didn’t get a chance to go out and shoot something today. I spent alot of today studying for my finals and reading up on HDR photography. So I left you guys with some pictures from behind the scenes of the Royal Pirates Music Video “Disappear”. I had the opportunity to shoot behind the scenes of the music video back in March of 2010. The music video was shot at Linda Vista Hospital (abandoned), several films have been shot there as well. Expect a few HDRs to come up soon. 😛
Well yesterday I didn’t get a chance to update my blog because I was occupied the entire day. In the morning I met up with someone who wanted to buy my battery grip off craigslist. I was sad to part with it but it had to be done…to fund THIS LENS^ (Above). I welcome my first L lens to my gear, a 24-105mm F4L lens that I have been eyeballing for some time now. I got it on craigslist from a man named Eugene who was nice enough to meet me at Samy’s in Los Angeles, unfortunately he got a speeding ticket on the way there… sorry Eugene. He was nice enough to give me a extra lens cap, designed like Nikon’s lens caps, which I consider to be a much better design.
