About to leave to go work on a music video done completely with stop motion animation, painting with light, and human animation. Dave and I are gunna own it!!!!!

Living Suns partial music video

My neighbor Dave and I started this video last summer with The Living Suns but never got the opportunity to complete it. We were doing this video for their single, Watch Your Ways, off their first full length album, Self. For this video we used human stop-motion animation and had spent about 50 hours working on the video, from storyboard to shooting. It was some good times with lots of 'Living Sun moments'. Loved shooting with those guys though. so here's the video...

LB Bike Festival

Saturday, right before i shot the Orange County Music Awards, i went with the infamous Samuel Lippke to shoot the Long Beach Bike Festival. I'm not that into biking but once the races started up i was surprised at how fast those guys went and how agile they were. It was cool to see a bunch of people come together to try and make Long Beach more compatible with their hobby. Here are a few photos from this delightful day in Downtown LB...

.:SenIOr PhOtoS:.

It's a bit late but for those of you that have procrastinated the delightful task of getting senior pictures done... i'm available! I try to stay away from the traditional studio senior picture. As much as I love a good ol' studio shot I'm all about shooting the pictures with places and things that represent you and your senior year. Contact me for pricing and more details.

OCMA's '09

Tonight i got passes and attended the 8th annual Orange County Music Award's Ceremony at The Grove of Anaheim. It was a pretty fun event and I got to see live performances by Japanese Motors, Venus Infers, The Union Line, Aushua and Mickey Avalon. i also got to hang out with the guys from Artisans Label, the guys from the Living Suns and other various artists and record executives. Here are a few pictures i took throughout the evening...

New Orleans Day 6 (Ninth Ward, Art Commune, The Joint)

Day six was probably the most inspirational day. We begun our day with a return to the Ninth Ward/Desire Housing Projects and went exploring. After driving through a seemingly hopelessly deserted area we came upon these amazing houses right in the middle of it all. Come to find out, it's an amazing organization that funds the building of houses purely on donations. This company was founded by Brad Pitt and is doing TREMENDOUS things down in New Orleans. Not only are they building houses, but they are restoring hope. The foundation is called Make It Right and there website is http://www.makeitrightnola.org/ While checking out these new homes we came across a memorial to someone so we went up to it and met a man whose wife and granddaughter were washed away during the storm surge. He lived in a run down trailer but was awaiting his new home that was being built by Make It Right. As i stood there thinking how horrific his life must be and what if that was my family, I heard my pastor say,"so finally there's a little hope." and the man just looked at him and said, "no... there's a whole lot of hope." I stood there thinking about what he just said... he had lost both his lifelong companion and his grandaughter and he still saw an enourmous amount of hope. Now that's an organization that's changing lives!!!!





After that life changing experience... we headed over to a place that can't fully be described. In the backyard there was a 4 story tree house made out of abandoned things from the storm and a crazy looking school bus. In the house were 14 rooms housing a bunch of young artists. The place was insane!!!





The joint is pretty much the best place ever for ribs!

New Orleans Day 5 (UCM Museum of Oddities)

Today was rediculous... we went to the freakin craziest museum ever!!! I'm not going to explain it... I'm just leaving photos and the name (UCM Museum). If you wanna know more you'll have to do some research. Oh and i got my girlfriend a gift at the museum and here's the hints i gave her as to what it is... pen, hair, music, dikes. hahahahaha. just another day of missions work with miletwo...

New Orleans Day 4 (The Bayou and Shmoopys)

today was a scouting day that went extremely well. our day begun by heading down to the dulac community center at pretty much the end of the earth (use google maps to look at dulac, LA), then we headed over to shmoopys... the BEST corn nugget things and of course... CHILI!!!!! holy moley their food was EPIC. we then just spent time cruisin' around the bayou looking for cool photo opportunities. overall... it was a dope day.
