BMW 335i converted to M3

I took these photos a few weeks ago of a buddys 335 and I loved how the rolling rig shots came out.

Best Editing Tool

I first like to say I wan't to blame Peter "icon" Tran for this purchase. Recently, my fiance purchased this tablet for me and I couldn't be any happier. The ability to move so fast with the tablet is phenominal. My workload should be decreased by atleast 30-35% with the tablet. If you do not know what a Tablet is its a pad that allows you to use a pen to edit, draw or even web browse without the ache of a normal mouse.

New Canon L Lense 24-70L F2.8

FINALLY!!!! After first purchasing the 24-105L F4.0 IS and somewhat regretting purchasing the lense I finally made the correct decision. After owning the 24-105 I now realize I made my decision based off of price and not the main factors of lense buying. I now learned that I should have looked at the Fstop and and zoom. After renting the 24-70mm it helped me make my final decision and its here.

The Anix

Here is a event I shoot on 6/20/2008 in Hollywood, CA at The Roxy Club. The lead singer/guitarist is a friend of mine and he wanted me to take some photo's for him and his band. You can find more information about them at www.theanix.com. Also, stay tuned for my new website which should launch Mid July.

How my Career Began

So back in Mid 2005 when I was a very amateur photographer I saw a photo contest in Motortrend Magazine which a friend won the year before. Well I decided Im gonna enter. So, like a typical man I procrastinated until the last entry week. I was sitting around with a girl(friend) of mine and I was like F' it Im gonna go get a good shot. So it rained a little before and left water all over the car. Let me remind you it was like 2am. Anyway so I got the shot in 1 take and submitted it to Motortrend because it could not be post processed. A few months later at 6 am I get a call saying that I was selected as the "Motortrend Magazine 2006 Automotive Photographer of the year" and my shot was gonna be published in the December 2005 magazine. I didn't believe them at first because at the time my friends and I were pulling pranks on each other. Everything finally clicked and I jumped for joy because I beat alot of professionals and I also did it with a crappy camera ahhha. So not only did I win and get my photo published I also received a new camera a Canon Digital Rebel XT, which I sold for a 20D.
So the moral of the story is that you don't always need the best equipment you just need to have a best shot, perspective, and imagination.

E-shoot with Kev and Cass

Recently I took photos for Kevin and Cass and we did a more themed shoot for the "Save the Date" post cards. Well we caught up again 3 months before the wedding and did some shots on the beach. We wanted a more candid feel than a posed look. Enjoy! Also let me know what you think by posting your comments.

Stepped my Computer game up...

I finally stepped my game up to another level. I purchased a MacPro 2.8Ghz Quad Core Intel computer recently and I couldn't be happier. I have been editing photos and video on a Mac Mini Single Core which worked, but wasnt making me happy. The computer is equipped with a 320GB Hard drive but again I had to step it up to a internal HD with 750GB's extra.

New shoes

Finally after a couple of months of looking I just gave in and bought these shoes from Converse.com. I was looking for these shoes in every local store and nobody had them in size 11. But I found them.

Bentley GT Coupe Photoshoot

So as many of you know when I first started doing photography I mainly shot automotive. After time passed I eventually started to shoot other subjects landscape, Models, and Weddings etc. Well this time around I shot this beautiful and powerful Bentley GT Coupe and with a few extras. Most of the modifications come from the exterior 22" iForged Essens in Gloss Black, and a imported ASI Bodykit molded in Dry Carbon. The bodykit alone is worth than my car stock. Here are some photo's of this masterpiece.
