here [i am]

And I have been pretty busy lately with work and doing stuff outside the interwebs...

Long story short... last month went to San Diego, caught up with some friends we haven't seen in a long time, did some pretty amazing stuff and made awesome memories.

Got inspired...

I have a lot of little projects running here and there but this is just a preview. I realize its pretty difficult to keep up with everything all at once... but its the effort that counts. 

Thanks for checking in.

Today was one of those days that has me sitting back reflecting and smiling... I feel so content. Had a nice breakfast. Been craving french toast like something crazy and finally had it. Came home and just soaked up some sun...

 ...started 4 new art pieces. Drew up an installation idea, which I cannot wait to begin. Played with the pets, and chit chatted with some pals throughout the day...Realized that the whole time I had been craving a beer, I had some in the fridge this whole time... score. Now the sun is setting, I am enjoying the newly purchased Booty Thrill album, Thrillwave, and I am gonna shower and go hang with some down ass bitches... Happy Friday!

The boys 

skate park [kids]

There isn't much to do in my little town.

I follow my friends around with a camera like a creep

My famous line..."Just pretend I'm not here."

I followed the boys and I shot a little at the park.

Took me long enough... finally developed the film from my fisheye test shoots.

I know now the Lomography Fisheye takes pictures a little dim.

At least I have the detachable flash from the Olympia and the Canon.

In daylight they come out pretty vivid but still old school feeling intact. Gonna have to just keep toying...

Selling my car for no reason other than wanting more cash in hand is a rewarding experience because I have to spend more time with the ones I love...a.k.a. the ones who care enough to tote me around town and shit...

Today I had some film left on my Olympia Dl2000 and when my mother took me grocery shopping we took advantage of some free time...

I am pleased with the way these came out!

Many thanks to my model Danielle Davidson.

What a fun "first shoot" and... sticky.

I appreciate the little things in life.

A lot more than a little.

I am lucky because I have good luck.
