Snow!!!

It's my favorite time of the year again!!!  i love the snow...maybe because i did not have this when i grew up.  Growing up in a tropical country the only place you can find a snow is in your freezer!! back then...freezer built up so much ice inside that you had to defrost it using a fan (go figure) !! Time to hit the slopes friends!!!

Sunsets in CA

Of course you gotta have a sunset shot!!  i think every person who has a camera - has his or her own sunset shot!  For some reason we are drawn to it... drawn to God's majestic creations!!

Cheese!!!

I miss this plane!!!  use to fly a lot with my uncle - nut now he has decided to go back home and he brought his plane with him.  Took awesome pictures from up there!!!  its a totally different perspective of what you see from down here.

Marlboro Adventure Team 1996

Saw this hidden away in the corners of my hard drive.  One of the best adventures of my life......Moab, Utah!!!  10 days....10 adventures....what a rush!!!

Elsie the Dog groomer

Had to do a shoot for my environmental portrait assignment and im so lucky to have gotten a dog groomer.  why? because Elsie is the most accommodating, nicest and genuine person I've met in my life.     If i had a dog i would definitely bring them to her.  Its so funny, she told me how she became a dog groomer.  She migrated from cuba (i think) several years ago, and she first wanted to be  teacher.  But she had to go through hoops just to get her certification and learn english really well.   On her part time while trying to get a job she took care of dogs of neighbors...and she would talk to the dogs with her broken english and they did not care. So she decided to be a dog groomer coz dogs dont care if you cant speak english well, they will love you no matter what.

Graffiti = Art

You find Art in the most weird places. I was driving to SF and I saw this graffiti "art" and i just had to stop and tak a picture of it.  I just love how the colors pop up and how the light is like a spot light on the train.

My first walk....

Wedding Rings

When I shoot weddings, i try to make it a point to shoot the wedding rings as unique as possible. I look around what i can use, or sometimes I bring props that would go well with the rings.  I've always been fascinated on how couples choose their rings.  They can go from the simplest design to the most elaborate settings. When my fiance was choosing her ring, whenever she asks me if its nice...i'd ask first, how much? if it was reasonably priced,  it nice!! =)

Michelle + Elvin (San Francisco)

Laughing Old World ....

I love photos that are very natural. Real laughter, real emotions.  You can just tell if the photo was staged or it was real emotion being shown.  For this shot I had do something really stupid (dont ask what I did) to make my fiance laugh. 

This is for the Old world portrait...so that's one down and a lot more to shoot for our assignements.

Hoping I dont get the dreaded marker on this one. Yikes!!

Graveyard of planes....

I love flying...but i could not afford a plane. Luckily one of my relatives owns an ultra-lite.  You know those hang glider types with a jet ski type engine. Every time we fly i make sure bring my SLR..you never know what you might see from up there.

Architecture

Milestones....

Milestones are temporary stops we have as we journey through lifes highway.  But these are very importants stops. It helps build our character, gives us more wisdom and more importantly it encourages us to strive more.

Doors.....

Life is a series of obstacles, trials and doorways...

Some doorways can be modern and some can be very old.  Some can be big some can be very narrow...

But they all serve one purpose...it's an entrace to something that can be exciting, a door to adventure, a story untold. 

No matter what kind of door we go through...We learn to accept the challenges what these doors present to us. These are doorways to new chapter in our lives, for our endless search for our purpose on why He put us here. 

Don's stop when a door is locked...find the key and be open to new chapters that your door presents you.

Cherrie + Nicco (Cancun, Mexico) - Engagement

I would have never in in my wildest dreams thought that I'd go to Cancun for wedding job.  It was the highlight wedding job for the year..maybe even for the next coming years.

I dont know if this could be topped by any weddings that I will do in OC.  But you will never know...when the Guy up there blessess you...you better be ready.
