My photo journal is a way for me to express the candid and
honest moments I capture in my life. Some showcase the
explicit love affair I have with photography. Others, just of
my daily encounters. All are 100 percent real and I wouldn't
trade them for the world. If you blog any of my imagery, be
awesome and please give me photo credit. Enjoy!

I am one of those individuals that is very anti-interviews. I always turn them down for two reasons. One, I don't see the point and two, all of the questions people as me are pretty
fucking stupid. If you are going to interview someone, at least come correct with some interesting shit. Last month someone finally asked me questions with substance. ....

After having a couple of meetings at the Crooks & Castles store, Chief came by today to drop off some pieces. I met Chief (Crooks) on Facebook (no rainbow) when I first started doing
photography. Its pretty funny because I always knew about him, and visa-versa. We for some odd reason dated a lot of girls that were mutal friends of eachothers yet never actually met.
To make a long story short, after hitting him up on Facebook and chatting for a while he gave me the oppertunity to shoot for Lowrider Girls Magazine. That was my first publication.
The point of this is, make connets and stay in good working relationships. This business is a bitch, but there is still those who are willing to open doors if they see you are a legit person.
Talent is a factor, but ambition, passion and your work ethic is really what people want to see.

Ashley came over yesterday for a test shoot. We shot for about two hours and then walked to Damiono's for some fresh pizza. I'm still trying to get the lighting right at my new space but
fuck all that, I'm just stoked to live one street over from Mr.Pizza! Ashley and I don't share the same view on things. She thinks the pizza was dry and tasted like cardboard. Usually that
is terms for deleting a contact off of my phone. Since she's kind of okay I will let it stay.

I am by no means an event photographer but lets face it, free booze and making a few hundred bucks for a couple of hours or work is pretty awesome. That is exactly what I did today
at the Downtown Standard Hotel. They throw another pool party at the rooftop pool. Just like last time it was packed with half naked bodies and

Do you guys remember when I was living in the Stay hotel for awhile? Did I ever mention LA Café? Well just to speed you up, I am absolutely obsessed with it! I've been off meat for a
few months now but this place makes me forget it ever existed. They have huge menu that is all made fresh and baked goods made daily. They also have this (above)! This my friends
is the grilled veggie burger and it is fucking amazing! You literally bite into this big son of a bitch and fireworks explode in your mouth. Yeah, that good. I highly encourage you all to
go buy one, or two or three! For all of you lucky people living in DTLA, they offer 24hr delivery. Oh, and also a lot of cool celebs and pro skaters hang there.

I ran into the homie, Trigz MSK tonight at the Diamond party. It was probably the best part of the party considering I haven't seen this dude in years (he's been in prison). The store was
packed, the booze was cheap and there were more fifteen - sixteen year old kids than I would like to mention. We basically walked in, gave a dap to a few friends, I shot this photo
(Boogie to the left) and then rolled out. I dropped my camera off at my apartment and then walked to the Dime where the girls would hopefully be of age. You can't be too certain
about that spot either.

Holy fuck! Guess what you guys? I am no longer homeless! My hotel life has finally come to an end. Want to hear the best part? I am officially on the block. Yes, the block of Fairfax
right smack in the middle of all the cool shit. It literally takes me two minutes to walk to Supreme. I am super excited to start my new life. I have so many new goals that I need to
accomplish, one being make some fucking friends. I don't know anyone that lives in the area. Two, book some gigs. I want to use my time here to network and leap head first into my
career.
To anyone that feels lost like they can't make it. Let me be proof that you can. I thought I was going to be in Hotels for ever. A year ago I wanted to live on Fairfax, now... I'm here.
