Baby Remmy

Some fun quick captures on a good friends recent baby shoot!

Europe…a few months ago

Just thought I would go off the beaten path and show some simple straight outa iPhone photos from my two weeks in Europe. Enjoy!

San Diego Fast Track Shoot-out

Just a few weeks ago, I was able to attend a workshop in San Diego. My good friend Baylea allowed me to crash in her apartment (thank you to her, and her dog in the pics!) and I made a small commute from the Beautiful down town San Diego to Del Mar for a couple of Days.

The view from her apartment is amazing, overlooking the harbor and about 7 stories up. Check it out!

As for the workshop, it was a good experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect and it was a investment that I felt I needed to make. I had hoped that by attending this would workshop it would help me learn how to grow my business and desire to possibly make photography a more invested commitment. It was put on by the well known Dane Sanders based out of OC and his team from Fast Track.

I had a great time, meet some good people, networked and most of all took in so many new and helpful resources. There is just way to much for me to explain here. Dane really takes a hold of you and the business side of photography. He makes you think of your goals as measurable instead of just a thought or vision.

Anyways, on one of the days we got to go out and do a photo session. I don’t know how I can share all of the shots just on here but I will post some. I hope you enjoy. The couple were a lot of fun to work with and really took well to the camera and were NOT shy. I hope you enjoy!

On the up and update

So over the past few months I have been working. Like we all do. Day by day…and really giving some thought into a direction of where I would like to head and what I want to be doing. One of those things has been to obtain my domain name (that’s geek talk for getting a website address), setting up my blog and actually posting a few things…

So for now, I hope to be posting, ranting, raving, and bringing some of my photographic work to you.

In the past six months or so since the new year I have done a lot of shooting. So many things that I have neglected to post or share. All my fault and all my responsibility. I would LOVE to share more things with you for some future dates I already have lined up, but most of all, with your permission I would also like to touch on some past events as well.

During those six months I have done photos for a couple of music venues, engagements, friend/family stuff and even an on-field photo access for the “first pitch/throwing out the ball” for an Angels game. Most importantly I have begun to second shoot for weddings. The amazing people who captured my friends wedding, Jeff and their company have taken me under their wing to allow to me work with them and develop my skills. They would be Narrative Images. Please check them out, they are amazing and so easy to work with…that goes for both me as a photographer and you as a possible client.

Yes, eventually I cant wait to take on more responsibility and start shooting my own weddings.

In the mean time I hope you follow along, bookmark me, add me to your favorites on your web browsers and let me take you into OUR world of photography captured by me.

Trying something out…

On my way to vegas

Wow. On my way out of town to get away with some old friends. On my way to non other then Vegas. Not really my thing as in the typical Vegas nights out but with good people it’s pretty fun. Just catching up be seeing people I don’t normally see. Amazing technology we have to. I am able to write this add a photo and actually post it while driving there. Don’t worry I’m not driving;). Well off to vegas. Have a good weekend! I will! This trip will be good for me and nice to get away as well. Not to mention some good stories!

Not even halfway and some good laughs. Even a quick stop at In n Out as funny. High school bus and all. (inside joke) And Bilek ordered his food and they gave him the wrong order… So after he ate that they kept calling his number for his correct food for about ten minutes so we decided ‘hey they are just going to throw it away’ so we decided to indulge on seconds. I only had the burger minus the bun and a few fries. Trying to stick to my healthy eating!

Anyways as I go I will leave you with this pretty cool shot from the road. Lots of cool storm clouds and scenery. Sorry it’s from an iPhone.
Cheers to a good fun weekend.

My favorite New Years song…

New Year <----- CLICK HERE FOR MP3

The New Year

This just made me think of the new year. I cant say how or why but it did. This was taken from inside the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, France.

Better described by Wikipedia: Centre Georges Pompidou (constructed 1971–1977 and known as the Pompidou Centre in English) is a complex in the Beaubourg area of the 4th arrondissement of Paris, near Les Halles and the Marais. It was designed in the style of high-tech architecture.

I cant really explain this exhibit other then a large room with a sphere in the middle as you can see. The walls, floor, ceiling and glass entry way are all made up of different colors. So any slight angle it was viewed from showed an entirely different perspective.

Happy New Year. Be safe, have fun, enjoy.

Top of the World

With the recent rains and cold weather we had in sunny California it sure brought some great clear and crisp days. One of my favorite spots to go for a walk or relax is “Top of the World” in Laguna Beach. Which is only about a 3 minute drive from my house. The views you have up there truly give you that feeling of being at the top of the world. Snow blanketed mountains on one side and Endless oceans views on the other. Just thought I would share these views with you.

And yes, I will share a location with you.

And I will only have to brag a little when I get to say that this is the view from my home and room. (Look past the power lines)

Good Holiday Spirit

Its that time of year again, the annual family Christmas party that we have been doing for over 27 years now…yes I’m that old. Actually a few years older but who’s counting.
Anyways, this is a little parade we do for the neighborhood families and kids. Even kids I grew up with near my parents house now come back with their own kids and families to see Santa. A lot of people and a lot of fun and a lot of work. Just a few photos of Santa and his ride this year. Merry Christmas!
