Ive always loved the expression in this little boys face. Its always impressed me because he's staring directly into the camera, unafraid and confident.

Best of the Best

I love the folks over at SNEAKER FREAKER. They have showed me mad love. First with an online interview that hit the web earlier this year and then they covered the "Girls Got Kicks" project that Lori Lobenstine, founder of Female Sneaker Fiend and myself are working on with a 6 page spread in the last issue. Finally to wrap up the year, they asked me what my favorite shoe of 09' was. It should come as no surprise what i SELECTED.
I am not quite sure how they came to the conclusion i was from LA but none the less thank you Mafia and Woody! :)

New Work Part II

i linked up with the dream team again tonight, makeup artist JENNI TAY and hair stylist JUSTINA DOWNS for part two of the new portrait series. I photographed 3 new models tonight including, one of my favorite people on the planet, my twin sister VANESSA.
Big thank you to the whole famila for their help and support. This project has truly been a team effort and i am extremely grateful to everyone involved!

Chaz and Nova

I had a dope shoot this week with MC's CHAZ and NOVA. The film is getting developed but in the mean time below is a sneak peak at the shoot we did at a Sacramento recording studio. It was cold as hell in there but these guys are true professionals and worked it out with me.

New Work

I decided to continue working on the dia de los muertos portrait project for an upcoming solo show i am preparing for so i got together with the dream team, makeup artist goddess JENNI TAY and hair guru JUSTINA DOWNS. I photographed 3 new models for the project and am thrilled with the results. I am working towards including 10 new portraits for the show so if you're in Sacramento in the month of February, come down to the UPPERPLAYGOUND Store to see the final series.

I bought a pentax 67 a few week ago. i ran my first roll of film through the camera when i photographed my sis and her boo getting their pma tats. Above is one of the shots off the proof sheet. i think my contax might have some competition.
