I had the opportunity to shoot a loft in Downtown Los Angeles. It is a great space with beautiful light. Below are some of the pictures from the shoot.

New York Trip: Update
Got back from New York and wow what a trip. It felt great going back and I am lucky the rain held off until the last two days of the trip. Spending Spring break in New York was definitely the right choice. I took more photos than I should have and I am just beginning to get through them. Recently I have been expiration with black and white. I have always enjoyed black and white but I have never really been able to get my pictures to look amazing in black and white. But the more photos I edit in black and white the more I like them.
The above is from a subway station down by Wall street. And the one below is of a security guard who was pacing in front of this backlit wall in Rockefeller Plaza.
Twenty Years
Today marks twenty years since Nas's Illmatic was released. I'm not going to lie and say I have been a fan since birth but it is incredible how influential this album has been on my current catalogue of music. For me personally, this album is taking a while to sink in. It seems that the more I listen to it the more I like it. The more I listen the more lyrics I hear that have been copied by current artists and are in some of the biggest hits of the last twenty years (ex: "Dead Presidents"). And the more I listen the more I hear the lyrical genius of Nas

DTLA Dinner Club
I’ve been experimenting with Video for a couple months now. Again and again I am blown away by the power of modern day DSLRs. They pack incredible video in such a small package. The biggest thing I have noticed is that when I am taking video in the public very few people, if any, notice that I am taking video. Most people will ask what I am taking pictures of and most are surprised when I tell them I am actually doing video.
On Wednesday my friend, Josh Gray-Emmer, invited me to a dinner party at this loft in DTLA. Josh holds a dinner party every other Wednesday night in DTLA. The purpose is to meet new people and to have good conversation. Everyone who attends lives in DTLA and most work there too. It was great night and I made the video below to act as a sort of commercial for the dinner party.
Also I have added a new section to my portfolio in the menu bar called "videos". I will add all futures I make to that section, so please check it out!
