"McCruelty; i'm hatin' it"

I got word about a protest happening in front of the NBC Studios in Burbank and decided to go take a look, and who better to ask to tag along to NBC?? McClain!!! We got there a little early to check out McClain's old internship and walked around the NBC lot/studio. Lets just say that it was like being on 30 Rock. Anyways, back to our main focus.

In front of the studio were Peta protesters. They came out with signs, a message and, chicken outfits...?

Here's what I got:


Not a lot of people came out to this protest; about less than 20. Although their numbers where small, their message was big: "McCruelty; i'm hatin' it."

Home Studio!

So I was able to put together a MUA (make-up artist), a model and a home studio the other day! Did some photos with details to skin and makeup and turned out very well. After words, McClain came over and he showed me a thing or two with Photoshop and 3hrs later, we have something I'm pretty proud of. Here's what we got:


Photograph by me and edited by McClain Nelson. Pretty cool stuff he learned from NBC! And this photo below is all me!

A lot more, but seeing how it takes some hours for 1 photo to be done, these 2 should be fine for now. Oh and working with a MUA was amazing! I recommend her to any of you photographers in need of someone that is professional, easy to talk to and open to ideas and HAS ideas to contribute! Just click on her name and it will take you to her work. Jessica Hughes

Hello Furloughs!@

FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA-- Students protest budget cuts at California State University, Fullerton resulting in a 32% increase in tuition fees and a 10% pay cut for teachers and faculty on September 29, 2009.

The students marched around CSUF campus chanting "They say cut back; we say fight back" and "Hell no to Furloughs!" during a large scale protest about budget cuts.

The main concern was about high tuition cost and poor education, due to the Furlough policy. Milagro Medrano, president of California Faculty Association (CFA) is seen holding up signs in support. "These students are our future and it's unfair to constantly raise tuition. Some students can barley get by and that is not what education should be about."

Anyways, here is what I got:

Oh, I just love me a good protest. They're old, but I'll post up my May Day 2009 protest later. That was a fun day!

Lexicon Polaroid: Me by Anh for Mike

Lexicon Polaroid is a poetry magazine ran by a good friend in Portland, Oregon. His name is Mike Harper. As soon as he releases the magazine, I'll release the poem that this photograph, taken by Anh Hoang, was intended for. But this is what she got:

It's a photo of me wrapped in dental floss! I added the red filter...maybe I should have kept it in B&W??? Oh well.

Till then.

Engagement Sitting #2

Anh and I decided to do more photos for our upcoming wedding. So, I took out the tripod and set up some sweet shots at a sweet location! Here's what I got:


JK! One of Anh's friends took these A-M-A-Z-I-N-G photos of us. What makes them soooo damn amazing, you ask??? They're free! Anyways, if you ever need some photos done and you got a small budget, hit me up and I'll recommend Linda Hoang (yes, she has the same last name as Anh's).

Photo Shoot: Casey Chin

Did a photo shoot with the lovely Casey Chin (http://www.modelmayhem.com/caseychin) at her house. The shoot turned out to be a lot better than I had anticipated; her and I get a long very nicely and that is always something I look for in shooting with anyone. Here's what I got:

A lot more, but I'm too lazy to edit and post them all right now. So enjoy these!

Till then.
