"Cats" Series

Only three photos. It wasn't intended to be a part of any series, there just happened to be cats around. December 2007

I purchased a scanner today.

Well if you've been around me and have noticed, sometimes I carry around a Holga camera (by the way, don't get me started on Urban Outfitters carrying these). All these prints and rolls have been lying around for a while because I have been without a scanner since my recent move to San Francisco... but no longer.   

Randomness is a blessing.

This person was guiding a tour that goes through my alley. All the people that were on the tour got onto the bus to the right. If you could see the bus up close, it looked like the school bus featured at the end of Nacho Libre.

A blues player from Kentucky. I can't remember if he played the harmonica for me before or after this photo. 

Weekly News

Okay so...

- A huge cyclone happened in "Myanmar" or "Burma", whichever you choose to call it. Thousands are dead and they are having trouble getting aid in, which if they don't do it soon, many more will die. Their government estimates 62,000 are dead. The United Nations estimates 100,000 or more are likely dead. It seems the country is being stubborn with foreign aid. Wow, a whole 2 U.S. planes and a U.N. convoy have delivered aid so far since May 3rd. Also, there currently seems to be another cyclone nearing "Myanmar" or "Burma" right now.

- A huge earthquake happened in China that measured 7.8 on the Richter Scale. Thousands are dead. The current death toll tops 12,000 and an estimated 18,000 are still trapped under rubble.

- The Vatican says it is O.K. to believe in E.T. (extra terrestrials).

- Britney Spears got in ANOTHER car accident. 

- Suge Knight got KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT.

These are far too brilliant. This  spread epitomizes the very definition of the word photograph to me. Photo being light, and graph to draw or write... To draw or write with light.

Urban Outfitters to begin carrying Track / Fixed Gear Bicycles

It was announced Friday that the giant retailer Urban Outfitters will begin stocking fixed gear bicycles at select stores beginning Fall. Along with the bicycle they will carry select accessories such as cards to put in your spokes. 

JK JK guys... Just poking fun.

Robert Downey Junes

I can't wait to see Tropic Thunder. If you can't tell, that's Robert Downey JUNES/Jr. playing a black soldier. 

Here's the trailer:

 

I think I'm going to go see Iron Man right now...

Update:

Iron Man was pretty good. I don't think it would be nearly the movie it is without Downey Junes. In fact, I think the movie would be quiet dull and everyone would forget about it in short while if Bob wasn't in it. Hats off to Bob. 

Part Two of Coachella 2008 Photographs

Click on the photograph.

Oh and by the way... If you need to save a photograph, the download button is located top right. I'm really new at this so bear with me until I can find a better method.

Quality, not quantity

It is not about quantity, it is about quality. This same rule that I read that pertains to the items in ones closet I will begin applying to my street fashion photography. To speak the truth, I am bored with what I shoot in San Francisco. No offense to the subjects, but I have gotten little excitement lately. I don't want to photograph specifically what San Francisco street fashion is or what is currently the haps on San Francisco street fashion, although that is inevitable. My mission was to photograph the interesting, the exciting and the groundbreaking. I must try to stick to that. 

Oh and by the way... I recently began contributing to streetpeeper.com so you can see some of my recent shots from San Francisco and Coachella up there. 

Can someone please bring back Jheri Curls?

Here's a clip from Coming to America that epitomizes Jheri Curls. If you haven't seen this movie, I will in in fact let you borrow it.  

The clip that changed the way we sweep floors forever

From the movie Breakin' all the way back from 1984. 

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

If you've seen it, then you are most likely in love with Jason Segel's song from the movie:

Jason Segel- Dracula's Lament

Enjoy. Hahaha

SF Street Fashion

18th St. and Valencia... Her outfit was pretty much all vintage. This was another one of those "Can you wait here while I go grab my camera from my apartment?" shots. 

He was just getting off work at Barney's. His Lanvin glasses were amazing.

She just looked really cute on her way to the counter at the movie theatre. I didn't even have to get up from my chair. Even though the cowboy boots look is one of my pet peeves, I loved her colored leggings, scarf and haircut.
