I went to Universal Studios a couple of weeks ago, and snapped this from the tram ride, and edited it to make it look more dramatic.
08.17.2010
Just a test shot, but I liked how it came out.
08.17.2010
Some headshots I took for the band The New Division. I'm still editing some group shots that I had taken.
08.13.2010
I lost the high res version of my logo when my computer died, so I got bored and drew this version up.
08.10.2010
Visited SeaWorld this weekend and these little tropical frogs caught my eye.
08.02.2010
I went on vacation and snapped a ton of pics in Maui. Here are a couple that I took. I'll have to update more as I finish them up.
07.29.2010
My computer died, and I just got it back, but all my editing programs were lost. I had some pictures I wanted to edit, but that will have to wait. My recent sculpt is this guy. A Koi Samurai. I still have to add some things, but I just wanted to make a little update here.
07.18.2010
Here's a shot of Baby Jones almost complete. I'll have to take some final shots, and edit the process photos. He took about 5 hours to build. I got the inspiration after riding the Pirates of the Caribean ride at Disneyland. Gnome Home was actually inspired by Splash Mountain.
07.15.2010
Munny Month is finally over. There was a lot of great talent in this years competition, congrats to everyone. =D
Warbird was also featured by KidRobot earlier last month.
07.08.2010
A Munny work in progress
07.05.2010
I finally had some time to put together the photos of how I made "Sniper"
06.29.2010
Munny Month was all of June, and this was the last submission I could complete before it was over. You can vote for my submissions by JonxSHREDx as well as many other awesome munnys.
06.26.2010
Here's another Munny titled, "Escape Artists Never Die" I was on a roll with these things, then I made two I didn't like, and abandoned. And I'm happy with how this third attempt came out.
06.24.2010
I just finished gnome home. Here are some of the process pics. I used some materials that I wouldn't have thought of. A coke can for the chimney, rubber bands to mimic steel bands, and I found some tiny pine cones walking around outside for his tree staff.
06.24.2010
This is another custom Munny I'm working on. The idea is "Gnome Home". His water source is a huge barrel in the stomach area. There is a small door starting near his feet, and he has a massive window to look out over the land. I'm also working on finishing the roof, and other small details.
06.20.2010
I'm already addicted to customizing these Munny things haha.
06.18.2010
Meet Zunny, my (zombie + Munny) custom vinyl.
06.15.2010
I made my girlfriend a jewelry box today. The bottom is covered in felt, so our furniture doesn't get scratched up. The body is hollowed out, and the lid is on a wooden dowel swivel. The lid features a sillhouette, and is sealed, and enameled.
06.11.2010
Becky!
06.11.2010
Check out Schmap!! for the iPhone, and iPod Touch. Some of my photos can be found on it. Check out some pictures of some cool locations.
06.05.2010
A portrait of Becky on the deck in my backyard.
06.02.2010
Yesterday I took a headshot of a girl in a Mardi Gras mask for an Indie movie poster. I think it's a lot easier to take pictures of children than adults for some reason haha.
06.01.2010
Just some new shots, masks, cars, and the petting zoo!
05.29.2010
Just drawing up some stuff
05.28.2010

05.18.2010
I had a fun little car shoot with some of the guys from Motoring Underground.

Here is my augmented reality, Zombie shooter app for the iPhone. Players will use the iPhone's built in camera to detect their surroundings and create a virtual world where zombies will try and eat your brains!
04.24.2010
It's business, it's business time! Some cards for a class final
04.22.2010
A few of the shots I used for my final in Photography. Becky was a good sport about getting in the dirt haha
04.20.2010
Splash screen for my Paper Zombie game, and some screen grabs. I'm getting really sucked into making this haha, but I guess that's a good thing.
04.18.2010
Yes! A rat rod!
04.14.2010
Probably one of my favorite assignments at school is the iPhone app assignment. This year I'm making an augmented reality shooter. The iPhone will scan its surroundings using the built in camera, and then the player will be able to tear down some zombies using shotguns, rifles, chainsaws, and what ever else the player can get their hands on.
Here's a loose concept I made up.
04.05.2010
I was driving to Becky's house and had to snap this car. The owner left the motor running while he ran inside a local grocery store.
04.01.2010
Photo class went to the lighting studio to shoot today. I got a couple snaps of William and Jeanette.
03.31.2010
NYC Motoring club really liked one of my photos, and even made it the header for their club site.
03.30.2010
Back from AMVIV 7. It's a good thing I carry a spare.
03.25.2010
Portrait time!
03.15.2010
Toes! of the kitten variety!
03.11.2010
...So our next assignment is portraiture.
03.10.2010
Just a quick capture in front of work. Cute stuff

03.07.2010
Still deciding if I like the grungy texture I added to it.
03.04.2010
Random shot when I came home from school.
03.04.2010
A little bored... you can probably tell haha. I decided to shoot Megatron for some fun.
02.21.2010
DTSF
02.20.2010
Made this for V-day
02.18.2010
What do you carry around?
02.15.2010
Lot's of photos from San Francisco!
2.11.2010
My little warrior... Rock chips, blown out tires, and many bumpers later.
Mainly I was testing out my new AB1600 strobe. It cuts through the sun, like a hot knife through butter
...And I guess I'll be adding my strobist info, since some have been asking.
Strobist: AB1600 through softbox (front right of subject)

This set was taken for our second assignment in photo class. I really liked how the very tops of the skyscrapers were obscured by the rain clouds. I had to Juggle my umbrella and camera at the same time, fighting the wind and rain.
Also, I think I should have started using the gallery feature a long time ago. It's so much faster to upload photos this way =P
1.30.2010
About 3 hours south of Los Angeles, we arrived at the Salton Sea.
1.27.2010
Hmmm... So some how I forgot to upload this. This is my PAAS Egg project from last semester.
1.26.2010
Pew! Pew!
1.25.2010
...So how about that week long storm L.A.?
1.22.2010
One of our photo assignments was motion.
1.18.2010
I wish these guys were in my fishtank, I'll just have to live with my goldfish and crabs for now.
1.18.2010
Slipped away to San Diego for the weekend. The hotel room had a great view behind it. I opened up the rear door and this is where it left me.
1.13.2010
Just a small shoot for fun.
1.10.2010
I had a photoshoot with my friend's family. We took the normal family shots, but we also had a lot of fun shots as well... I posted some of the fun shots haha. Also I had a photoshoot with Becky afterwards.
1.09.2010
Way up high.
1.04.2010
I can't believe there's only one more week of break! D=
1.02.2010
We didn't waste any time waiting for adventures in 2010. We went up to Big Bear, and the T.V. didn't have cable, so I was the ball drop. We repelled from the second story of the cabin at 12am to bring in the new year. Early the next morning we started off with a vigorous hike, and then repelling down some cliffs, and then climbing some rocks.

Cooper wishes everyone a happy and safe New Years
12.20.2009
Just some snaps
12.06.2009
It was freezing at the beach, and if you drop a piece of food you will be attacked by 15 seagulls. On the plus side, the sky was doing some amazing things.
12.02.2009
Paul and I headed down to Oliver Peoples and hung out with Patrick of Mosley Tribes, and Flynn Adam. We're going to be using a Flynn Adam track on the Mosley Tribes video. The final cut should be coming out soon, I just need to change the music and add some final touches to it.
Check out:

Just got back from Thanksgiving break. I hope everyone one had a great Thanksgiving. Our Media in Motion IV final was due. The teacher said it was "Bitchin" haha.
11.23.2009
We just got done covering the KoreAm event, it turned out to be very fun. We have some free hotel tickets from the event for New York, so that will be one less expense on that trip. Also plans for the Moseley Tribes shoot in New Mexico are being worked out. Another shoot with The Lovewright Co. is lined up in San Diego.
Also in other news, I updated my lighting setup with a new softbox that I'm loving at the moment.
11.15.2009
I just finished the teaser/ intro to our site. The actual site should be finished on Monday.
11.12.2009
More shoots today, but before I take off, I got my eyes in my squid man.
I also have a picture of the MINI, and the progress on my baby croc. I just started another sculpture today. Think a real life Dr. Zoidberg, I'll have to take pics of the progress later.
10.02.2009

Love the idea of "latest" things and using like a work blog. This can be used to showcase things I haven't had the chance to categorize yet, etc. Love your portfolio. Think I may take a few pointers from it. :) Good job!
