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

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

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.

Well after the shooting, and all of the edits, it is finally live! The Mosley Tribes Spring 2010 video lookbook is complete. I'm proud of my little Pentax K-7 for pulling this project off. Patrick from Mosley Tribes is very happy with it, and so am I. Check out Mosley Tribes, and also the Mosley Tribes Today Blog.

We were shooting a short series a couple of days ago. We were freezing outside by the end of the shoot. Comedian Bobby Lee from Mad Tv, and movies like Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle was on set also. He had a small role, but he was making everyone laugh his entire stay.
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.

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.

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!
