Strawberry, CA

Did a quick day trip to Strawberry today with my mom. I missed out on the snow sadly. Spring has certainly sprung. That aside, was a fun day. Got some footage on instagram

I only took a few, but I'll have some photos up on Facebook later

Most Successful photo - so far

My shot here, in Vallejo, California, that made Yahoo Travel's instagram page, coincidentally is now my highest selling photo. love this



I sold that photo 4 times, making solid money from it. Sold it twice to the owner. Such a great feeling

Robert rocks

this is great. I loved how Robert Down Jr. delivered an ACTUAL robotic arm, made by another gentleman who is an expert in robotic arms, to a well deserving kid!

Being me

A lot of people know me and know I talk about a LOT of things. I'm very opinionated about many topics - everything from video games, pop cultural, politics, music, culture, to style. I'd like to think more and more people will take my ongoing photography seriously. I use my blog to promote my work and talk about other things that interest me, be it something I've seen, photographed, or some video I've captured, or something I find worth talking about in general. I'm just a guy who's been looking to become a photographer since 2011 and I've been fortunate enough to find business here and there. I also talk about what I find interesting on twitter and facebook as well, and I'm usually fun and civil. Rarely will I mention something that frustrates me because I like to keep things lighthearted. I imagine I'll improve as time goes on.

For the time being though, I'm just being me

Me in video games

Anbody who knows me knows that I've been playing games since the age of 2, in 1986, since the days of the NES. Some of my personal favorite games involve the ability to customize your character, and I get a particular joy from games that I can make my character look very much like me.
Here I am in a virtual southern California, in "Grand Theft Auto 5"



and here I am more recently in "Star Wars The Old Republic"



Even my Xbox live avatar looks like me



it's great to be able to lose yourself in a virtual world, especially if YOUR particular personal world is getting you down. Makes for a nice escape
