Sang's On Sunday!

2011-12-21T22:52:00.000-08:00

Went out this past Sunday with a couple of friends and ate at an amazing place called Sang's in North Miami Beach. You should check it out. My first time having Dim Sum, it was great. So far Eric is 4/4 in my book. Check out his site, itsaldente.com.

Cook it down

2011-12-15T20:19:00.000-08:00

Ever since I can remember, my friend Eric loves to cook and is damn good at it too. No matter what ingredients you have in the kitchen, he can make something happen with it. Tuesday we decided to have a couple friends over at my place and cook for them but we didn't just cook anything, we made PHO! PHO is this delicious vietnamese soup with noodles, beef, cilantro, jalapeno, lemon, mint, and the list can goes on. We both like to cook but Eric is not only starting his own cooking/food blog, he is also making a couple videos with his very own recipes. The site is not up yet but as soon as it is, I will post the site.

Art Basel 2011

2011-12-15T16:29:00.000-08:00

This year in Basel was bigger than ever. So many people went and it was a little hectic but still great. So many artist put in work on the walls and the exhibits. I didn't get to go to every artist/exhibit that I wanted to but I was pretty happy with what I got.

One of my favorite pieces

So the night before last the homie Eric came over to chill and shoot the shit. We also wanted to take a picture but didnt want to do the grey back drop. I still feel like I haven't perfected the grey back drop and strobing but I got to change it up and do other things. I'll come back to it when I get another subject and some inspiration for a new shot. Anyways, here are a few from the night and what we came up with. Enjoy!

Test Shots

2011-03-30T13:42:00.001-07:00

Watson Island x Downtown Miami

2011-03-03T13:26:00.000-08:00

I have been wanting to go shoot at night for some time now, only thing is that almost every spot to get a decent city shot I have been to already or is under construction. Last night, I went with my girlfriends sisters husband and he showed me a new little spot. Of course I have seen it before just never been and never seen this angle on the city. As for the other shots you see, just messing around with some lighting off camera and some randoms as well. Enjoy!

and yours truly messing around with the ring flash, I love this thing!

She doesn't let me take her picture but she will take this when she's alone! Go Figure!

Where's the inspiration?

2010-05-05T08:04:00.000-07:00

So I recently moved out of the house that I grew up in and started the new chapter in my life. Its been a little weird cause since the move I really have't been inspired to take a picture of anything. No creativity has come to me at all. With that being said, this is just a little something I posted on ISS so I guess I should post it here to see if I can get something going again. Enjoy! Click on pic for larger size.

Took a couple pics also, enjoy!

Been kind of slacking on the description photos sooooo, I just got in my wireless triggers and felt like playing around with it. Hope you like what I came up with...

2010-02-12T09:31:00.001-08:00

Nike does it once again.... Nikes new commercial entitle "Human Chain" is rediculous. It shows the drive and motivation that athletes must have to get what they want. The video includes athletic talents such as Lance Armstrong, LaDanian Tomlinson, Maria Sharapova and Rampage Jackson. It's dope

Terry with Pirelli

2010-02-04T06:52:00.000-08:00

This video is a mini documentary in the day of Terry Richardson as he does the new 2010 Pirelli calender. Pirelli wanted to go back to the vintage days on this one when they were fierce and at the top of there game. Of course if you want to do that, your calender has to be shot by a great photographer and Terry is your man. He has a great eye for nude photography as you will see in the video below. Terry also speaks on how he gets his inspiration and what makes him the artist he is today!

Mr. Spike Jonze has done it again with his new short film titled, "I'm Here". If you don't remember Spike Jonze, he was the guy that directed the short film with Kanye West called, "We were once a fairytale". Somehow he makes you forget that you are watching a movie about robots!

The City is our Playground

2010-01-25T14:28:00.000-08:00

Downtown Miami is beautiful all in its own. Now, when you combine the city with the people, that's when you get it in it's entirety. You get to see the different cultures, religions and occupations just by walking down the street. Whether you are a cop, a model, photpgrapher or even an aspiring skater. You can find all that and more in MIAMI.

The Clipse - Freedom

2010-01-20T13:59:00.000-08:00

Got tired of waiting inside so I went outside....

You know he had to try it out.

Descriptions

2010-01-07T14:31:00.000-08:00

This is the start off a series of pictures I want to take and the series will be called "Descriptions". This one really wasn't thought out to well. I was at home thinking of how to start the series off and couldn't think of anything. Once the frustration set in, it clicked! This is what I came up with for the first one. Click on the photo to look at other sizes. Enjoy!

2009-11-06T09:29:00.000-08:00

Was stuck in a bit of traffic last night so decided to take the camera out and give the bokeh a try! Bokeh is easily explained as the opposite of sharpness!

Stadium by the Sea

2009-11-04T14:41:00.000-08:00

So, I have been trying to get into this place for a couple months now. Everytime I went, the security guards would give me excuses like, "It's Prohibited" or "Sorry, not for the public" but my favorite till this day was, "ABSOLUTELY NOT, there's possums???????" OOOOooookkkkk?(That guy was an IDIOT). Finally it happened, thanks to my 2 good friends Chris and Eric (Thecommissionshop.com), they called me up and told me they got in so I gave it another try. This is what I came up with..... ENJOY!

Unarguably the best seat in the house!!!!!!

These are a couple that I decided to play with.
