Another Weekend, Another Photo Shoot

This Sunday i got to team up with the lovely stylist extraordinare, M.I.S.S. LIZ BACA and shoot a fashion story for the spring/summer issue of XLR8R
magazine. I gotta keep the shots underwraps until the piece comes out in a few months but i can say its going to be
PROPER. Below are a few shots of the girls getting dolled up to do their thing.
Big thanks to everyone who came out on sunday and helped out. Special thanks to
DEREK for driving us around in his Buchita, to Jay for being a dope assistant, Robert Hernandez for loaning us the beautiful low rider, Jorge and Candee for doing a great job on makeup and nails, Kat for hooking up hair and the models, Myra, Yadira, Jen, Vanessa, Julio, and Erico for being down to get up early on a sunday to work. You guys all rock. It was a blast working with you!

This past week has been super crazy busy. Right now I am trying to juggle two part time jobs, my photo hustle, photo editing, free lancing and trying to kick it. I can't complain because i love everything that is keeping me busy. I spent this past weekend in SF, Stockton and LA. Yes in all three cities! I had a meeting in SF with the talented FERNANDO MARTI and the lovely folks of EL TECOLTE to discuss the Mission Project we are working on. After the meeeting, I drove to Stockton to catch the homies the RIGHTEOUS MOVEMENT and THE PARK open up for TALIB KWELI at UOP. I was super bummed because i went on a last minute whim and i didn't bring a camera... SNAP, what kind of photographer am I! The folks at UOP though sure know how to treat the preformers. Each of the dudes was hooked up with their own flossy room, wireless internet, and room service. HEAVEN. The next day i drove to LA to photograph ROCCET for a "Show and Prove" piece for one of my favorite magazines, XXL. Crazy weekend, but i wouldn't have it any other way. When ever i get a moment, i have been trying to put together a book of images from my trip to Austin for the SXSW music festival a few weeks ago. Below are some samples.
