Life is What YOU Make of It!

Each and every year I take photographs. There are photographs each and every year that I take and can’t believe that I actually took. This year I have two photographs. It is of the same subject. And during the same session. The cool thing about the session was that I just wanted to shoot. I…

You know, I’ve been trying to get this guy for a very long time. But, it just happened. I still to this day haven’t seen an Asian homeless guy. But as soon as I started to work in downtown I noticed him. I was like how could this be? How could an Asian man, of…

This is from another location. The pic below is what I at before going to sleep. I love whatabuger! It’s amazing that I can eat junk from time to time and still fit into pants I couldn’t fit in last year. I’m seeing of this will work. Cool. It really works. I’m trilled. This is…

Note: This trip was done two weeks ago on an early Saturday morning. It has taken me so long to edit the images and still not done. These are just a few of my top 60. It just sounded like a good idea. The thought of rising before everyone, listening to music that had no…

Note: The picture up top was taken with my iPhone. I have plenty more with my other camera. I’m still trying to figure out uploading an image from my phone to the blog directly. I will figure it out.   Damn. I just wrote something and now it’s gone. Kind of crazy. I’m working on…

I didn’t think this day would ever come. I’ve been thinking about it for the longest. I was suppose to get this done earlier in the year due to a groupon my wife told me about. I was intrigued and made an impulse decision on it. I took the test and instantly qualified for Lasik.…

I told myself that I was going to reread the previous post. I still am. Perhaps later today or tomorrow. Some people close to me said I was raw as hell, but the majority of folks said that I shouldn’t stop blogging. Actually, after a couple of hours publishing the blog post I found new…

I don’t know where to start. At the beginning of this month I was ready to talk about my challenge for August. How hard and frustrating it was. How I didn’t want to go out to do work that I loosely had interest in. How I was freaking out that the photograph that I was…

I had meaning to write about this at the beginning of the month but got so focused on the new stuff that it was an after thought of writing the followup. I am going to write some of it now and finish it up later in the week. I’ll start off by saying that it…

It’s been a month since I’ve posted and it feels good. I have neglected the blog, but for good reasons. I’ve been busy making moves and pleased to announced that the rejection process is still going on. However, my confidence is building and no doesn’t stop me from trying, it pushes me to calibrate my…

Second half of the year. Yep. The first half of the year is gone and many good things has happened and also some shitty things. I know that to be the case and now me and everyone else can reflect and get a move on what it is that they want to do for the…

I was talking to a friend a couple of days ago about what I feared the most right now. It took me some time to think of that very thing, but when I thought about it it was clear to me that I needed to understand what I was saying and how that could actually…

…bullshit. That hasn’t worked for me at all. Sure I could do some SEO, or spam the hell out of people on twitter (which I haven’t used in over a year and a half) or constantly harass the people I know. However, that wouldn’t do anything for me because I’m still staying in my comfort…

Today is another anniversary that I’ve reached with this blog. I didn’t know I would be here and go through all of the changes that I’ve gone through. I’m happy with the way it has turned out, but more important, I’m thrilled with the way I’m shaping up as a human being. If you were…

At times I go back and forth with what I want to do with photography. But, the simple fact of thinking that I want to do something and then trying it out makes me understand what I’m working with. It is the same process that I used in figuring out what I wanted to do…

I have been thinking about this for at least a week and now figure it is time to reveal to the audience that I have my new direction of the blog. I’m excited and ready to see where it goes with everything. As I’ve been talking for the past couple of months and maybe a…

This past weekend was good to me. I did tons of relaxing and had some time to myself that I don’t normally allow. Of course I was thinking about photography and how I’ve been in a slump for the past couple of weeks. As I continue to write everyday I had time to contemplate the…

This was years ago, when I was in the self-discovery phase of my life. However, that phase of life never really goes away. But this was the first time I realized that I was in fact in the self-discovery phase of my life. A couple of years out of school and hating my job. Yes,…

Two weekend’s ago I finally got a chance to do something that I’ve been meaning to do for the past couple of months. First thing first, I hate taking pictures of myself. It is hard, unexpressive and tiresome. But, this time I figured out that I can use my computer at the same time while…

It is a simple concept and I understand that if you thought about it and thought about it and thought about it it would drive you crazy. Absolutely nuts. It would make you depressed and you would wonder if you can go on. I’m here to give you the answer of yes, you can go…

It has been a month sense I’ve started and finished my photography website. There are a couple of bugs that still need to be dealt with, but that will take no time. I have been thinking of updating my photography business website ever since I switched my focus to portrait work. However, I didn’t want…

Like I said on Tuesday, this month is very important to me. The first two months was in preparation for this time. I didn’t realize it at the time how much pressure I have and will be putting on myself. But it is okay, if I can’t put the pressure on myself and see what…

So far, this year has been so much fun and so stressful. I made some changes in my life that have freed me up to do more towards myself, whether it be in business or personal life, everything is benefiting from it. Here are a couple of things I got accomplish: 1. Read 3 books:…

I took this photograph while on lunch sometime this year or last year. I love how simple it is but the lines and texture just do it for me. The black and white transformation is what woke it up for me. It is funny that no color gives something more emotion. I just recently printed…

I’ve been busy. That is my excuse for not posting in the past two weeks. I actually wrote a blog post a couple of days ago, but just didn’t like the way it flowed. I have a couple that I’m interested in writing and will have those out within the month. By next Monday I…

This has been a long time over due. I was sitting in my cubicle last week and thinking about all of the things that I had to do towards my business and how I was doing a shitty job of getting them done. I began to think about my new year resolution and how it…

This photograph is actually of a photo shoot I did yesterday of a neighbor of mine. I went into his house and was extremely amazed at the way he decorated it and found out that he also draws. This was a personal project of mine that I wanted to do and the cool thing is…

Since I’m all about this photography stuff and taking those vital steps to make it full time, I thought it would be best to provide a photo or two for each blog post I write for now on. This particular photograph is okay. I love the idea and the way I thought about it. Execution…

I’ll leave you with my favorite photograph of the year! It’s very cliche to send a post of the year on the last day of the year or a couple of days before. I wasn’t going to make this out, but have been sick as shit for the past couple of days and this has…

Has anybody noticed anything? Anything at all? I’m looking around and seeing all of this festive decoration all over. When I watch television you see all of the commercial telling us to go spend money, for men to put up Christmas lights around the house and whatever else acitivities that happen around this time. But…
