Featured in "Pathfinder" online magazine

I was featured in the "Pathfinders" online magazine for the Summer 2019 issue. Click on the cover image of "Summer 2019", with my fireworks photo, and turn to page 7. My only beef with the article was that they said I "left" North Bay Regional Center (NBRC). That's actually the agency that HELPS me, and they aided in finding Turning Point for me, so I don't anticipate leaving NBRC anytime soon. Other than that, it's a good article

At rest

We recently put my late neighbor, Air Force veteran Doug Ford, to rest in the Sacramento Valley Veteran's Memorial Cemetery. Was a somber day. We later visited with people at his house and celebrated his life

A loss

Sadly, on Valentine's day, I lost my neighbor, here in Dixon, CA of 30+  years Doug Ford due to Cancer. He was 85. I didn't agree with him, politically, but he was certainly a nice man who watched me grow up from 1986 (when I moved to Dixon) onward. He was like a 2nd grandpa to me (my grandpa passed in 2004). Being a retired war vet aviator that he was, he had quite the vast collection of RC planes in his backyard



I imagine they'll go to good homes in the foreseeable future to some good RC plane enthusiasts. Doug is survived by his 3 children, from left to right, Lisa, James, and Andrea

This is Spartan 117

Forgot to share this last year. In March of 2016, I got to meet the man himself, the voice of one of my favorite video game characters (Master Chief), Steve Downes.



I also photographed him.



He absolutely loved this photo, writing back to me on twitter: "Thanks Nicolas. Even my wife likes it! U do good work under less than ideal conditions!"

That absolutely rocked my world!

Definitely a highlight of my career!

Social Worker of the day

I Recently went to Vacaville, CA and did some photos of a social worker that works with me, from The Arc Solano -  Nateisha

An audience with Dr. Alveda King

Was great to go to the Jelly Belly Factory and talk with the niece of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, the honorable Dr. Alveda King. Absolutely fantastic event

2nd wedding I've photographed - part 2

Great after party was had later in the evening of Sunday December 14th, after the ceremony at the church. I wish these crazy kids a lifetime of happiness

Back to the City

I was in San Francisco with my buddy, Alex "DJ A-One" Raymundo, yesterday and I filmed some musicians around Fisherman's Wharf.





San Francisco is never the same twice, each time I go. I also had a bread bowl of clam chowder for the first time, EVER, in my life. LOVED it!



This is what my alex & I also saw

2nd wedding I've photographed - part 1

The 2nd wedding I've photographed (1st was a wedding in Napa in 2012) involved doing some shots of an old friend of mine - Mick Simpson, a theater actor and former Blockbuster video store manager when I was in high school. Congrats to him and I was absolutely honored to do some phots for him. I'll have some wedding photos up later. Here are the photos I did of them that date as they quietly took their vows a day before the wedding and after party

A-One

The other day, I photographed one of my buddies, Alex Raymundo, a.k.a. DJ A-One, one of the hottest DJs in Sacramento, California




Swing over to his instagram page too. We were also messing around with a funny idea after watching those Dos Equis ads. This is what I came up with

(Listen to this while reading)

He woos women, just by looking at them 
He can spin tracks, in his sleep 
His beats make people dance, on the other side of the country 
Party goers buy HIM drinks 
His cup runeth over, but never spills 

he is..the most interesting DJ in the world

We both laughed hysterically! Lot of fun
