Back to School

Just started back toward my Photography Certificate.  Currently taking Photo 292 (Portrait Photography), as well as, a InDesign class that focuses on Desktop Publishing.

As I complete the projects I'll be posting them.  In the meantime I might be posting/re-posting some of my favorite shots from earlier this year. 

REMEMBER ALL PHOTOS that are posted (unless otherwise mentioned) are copy written.

They are however available for download or for purchase.

An Update....

Just wanted to post a little note:
I'm currently on my summer break from school.....  However, I will be posting more photo's , and some video, starting the middle to end of next week.  So sometime between June 8th and June 12th.  I'm in the process of editing some pictures that I took during the semester.  Also I'll be posting my "self-portrait" that I did using Illustrator; you all can get a good laugh.  This summer I plan on doing two series one of the Long Beach, CA scene and another that will showcase the LGBT community and the positive impact they have on society.  I'll also lay the ground work for not only a web gallery but also a series of the Churches here in California and the differences and the similarities between them.
Once again thank-you for all of those who are following my blog.  It warms my heart and soul that people do appreciate the time and effort that I put in to it.

A Narrative Photo Story

The following is a video photo narrative that I did for my final project in my photo 190 class at Santa Ana College.  The song is "Golden Ring" by Tammy Wynette and George Jones....All rights to the song are reserved to them.  The clip is only about 30 seconds long.  The photo's are from my own collection and are protected by copyright laws.

Hope you enjoy.  Please leave feedback.  Thank-you.

Photo 190 Project 3 Truth vs. Fiction

A project I did for my photography class where we had to emmulate the style, subject matter or both of another artist.  Or we could of choosen to do a "Truth vs. Fiction"  so I decided to do both.  The artist I chose was Alexander Rodchenko.  Please feel free to leave comments.

Sexual Offender Protest

These are pictures taken of a protest outside of the Santora Arts Building on the Santa Ana Art Walk.  The protest was being held, due to my information, because one of the tenants of the building assaulted a young woman.  Santora Arts Building is at 207 North Broadway, Santa Ana, CA.
Please do not shoot the messenger.

As you can see there are ALOT of angry people out in front of Santora Building.....  My only wish on this blog post is that it brings awareness to sexual assult against every person of society.

Project 2 -- Photo 190

These are the pictures I submitted on a photo project for my photography 190 class.  The purpose of the assignment was "Faceless Portraits".  And you can tell photoshop was used heavily.  Hope you enjoy them.
