Lake Havasu Lights

So I just got back from a gorgeous weekend in Lake Havasu, Arizona and I had alot of misconceptions about the beauty of the state of Arizona, until now. The weather for the most part was still scorching hot at about 107 all weekend but the nights were amazing, particulary sunday night as it cooled down to about 85 with a perfect breeze, i got to spend some time walking around the london bridge with my someone special and then something amazing happened. At least it was amazing for me.. of course lightning is no big deal to someone who lives in Arizona and gets to have great weather and still see the sky light up like a candle every 30 seconds... needless to say i was in awe as we walked over the bridge to see the channel painted with neon lights from the local shops and lighting brightening the sky behind the clouds. One of the greatest nights ive ever had and i got a few shots out of it as well. ALOS

FOHO- Being Creative

So over the last few weeks ive been the summer program photographer at Forest Home Ojai Valley and it's been an amazing experience and a great oppurtunity to grow as a photographer and in my faith, but the only thing about doing photography for a summer camp is that you don't really get a chance to be creative because they really just want something mom will frame and put on the wall, i did get few chances to do something different when i wasn't on the clock and so here you are, these are for jesi :)

Out Of Focus

So it has been way too long since ive posted an update but here i am finally back on the computer. It's been a very eventful summer so far and it's only about to get better as i start my job as summer program photographer at forest home ojai valley. I've been working at camp for around 2 years now and it still amazes me how much fun working at a camp really is. Now i don't have alot to show as far as really creative projects so far this summer but i have gotten alot of really good pics while wakeboarding and visiting forest home mill creek and such. Well there was this one day i got to hangout with one of my goodfriends from elementary school who's in town for summer and i got a few shots of the old train bridge which for some reason i love going to. Welp here ya go.

People People People

I realized that most of my photos have been places or things but not a whole lot of people, so now that i have a new lens that is great for portraits i thought i'd start capturing, well people, whether they realize it or not.

Finally Back

After working on Cirque du Solei 3D in Vegas and spring breaking in Lake Havasu im finally back shooting again.

For Our Troops

I was at the Santa Monica pier today and next to it was a display of crosses for our troops that passed each one marking a life. Its crazy to think how long this war has lasted.

Fire

So I recently became really interested with low light photography and fire is a pretty fun thing to shoot, i just got my remote in the mail so you'll see some long exposure pictures up here fairly shortly, but for now here are a few recent pics
