Spring Fever 2 was a fun event in Fresno hosted by Ed Stevenson. There was a fairly large group of models and a TON great spots to shoot. I didn’t get to work with everyone there but I did get to meet a lot of new people and see some familiar faces. If you’re a fellow photographer or a model/MUA/hair stylist/anything you’ll definitely want to check out this event next year. Onwards to the pictures.

Who reads signs anyways?

Trains are scary fast!

Beleza Salon Portfolio

Christi and Jana asked me to help them create a small portfolio for Beleza Salon. They really wanted to show off their hair and makeup skills, plus they wanted all the ladies looking classy. We ended up shooting at the Ben Maddox House in Visalia, CA. The house was originally built in 1876 and is now a little bed and breakfast. Anyways, on to the pictures!

Parker 425

Back in February I had the opportunity to join Freitas Offroad Motorsports in Parker, Arizona for the Parker 425 desert race. This was my first ever desert race and man I can’t wait until the next one. Sure there was a lot of waking up in the early morning but I got to spend entire days taking pictures of awesome trophy trucks.

Newspaper Wallpaper

Now that you can find literally any kind of news you want on the internet I think it’s time we invent a new use for newspaper. I say we all just start using it as wallpaper. Good idea?

Pismo Celebration + Oceano Dunes

This past weekend was the St. Anthony’s Celebration in Pismo Beach. It’s an annual event to celebrate the contributions of local Portuguese descendants. For almost everyone else, it’s a weekend to go to the coast, party with friends and ride. I spent the day Saturday taking some action shots of some friends racing. I think they came out pretty badass in my opinion. Even got a couple printed at 20″ x 30″. Not too shabby. Anyways, enjoy!

Private Drive

This was taken with an almost 20 year old Canon AE-1 Program. My dad had this camera lying around the house and recently he brought it out for me to play with. He wasn’t sure if it was even working. So I took it home, bought some cheap film, a new battery and loaded it up. I see this spot every day on my way to and from work. In the morning the light coming from the East doesn’t do it any justice. Everything looks dark and plain. But in the evening when the 5 o’clock sun is shining, that’s when this area comes alive. These flowers (not sure what kind they are) line both sides of this ditch bank. It starts at the road and winds all the way down about half a mile to a house. It’s simply beautiful.
