so i was able to shoot another co work, Anton! meet a good friend of mine! we had some fun at work taking some photos outside. all these were done with the softbox 20" and 580exII...

really wanted to photograph something today and Patty was around. so it begins!!! i used the 20" softbox and my 580ex off camera. hand held. hands down one of the best investments to get...

so i went back home to Visalia, CA for this Thanksgiving! as always just chilled with close family and friends. had alot of turkey and other foods! loved it!

first time going to HIN. all i knew was that there will be girls, girls, cars, and girls. haha! great opportunity to do some journalistic photos. i had my flash bracket with the 580ex and mini soft box attached. just eye candy mostly 

i took a trip up with my dorky lover friend Kate. we this was our 3rd year anniversary and we never been to Napa before. we enjoyed the quaint hotel and all the wine!! we also had our first air balloon ride followed by a nice champagne breakfast buffet! very nice! being up in the air floating was refreshing. we had to wake up at 5:30am but it was all worth it...

this years Greek Festival was great! the foooood! i love greek food, especially gyros (yeee rows) something like that. i used to live in Crete, Greece for 3 years and i've had a weakness for Greek food ever since. went with Kate and Desiree. i brought the camera with one 580ex and available light. 

   the following day we went shopping at Santana Row in San Jose, CA. someone was craving for Pinkberry... same setup as day before. i was hoping to catch a dog get-together but missed it. we still saw some dogs though.

while attending FanimeCon this year, there was another event taking place for celebration. Desiree's Graduation! very nice ceremony at the Spartan Stadium in San Jose, CA. she told before the ceremony that she didn't like her studio graduation pictures. "what happened?" she just didn't like how they turned out, so i was down to give her some photos. here they are...

went to XMas in the park two weeks ago with family. every year San Jose throws a XMas wonderland in downtown at the San Pedro Park. schools and other foundations sponsor a tree which they decorate. there's also a huge tree which was decorated exactly like the year before..boring. we also went to Skating In The Park which is more exciting.

may be a little late to post this...just found it again. we got these into the store and already sold half of them. i like the turtle ha!

just contact me if you want one. i'll give you quote on price and shipping.  

Thanksgiving has come and gone. spent with family and friends in Vallejo, CA. as long as i have some turkey, i'm all good on Turkey Day!

last saturday hit up Berkeley's Fantasy TShirts! Dixon and Arthur's grand undertaking, renovating and giving their shirt shop a kick ass facelift!

hit up their site at FANTASY TSHIRTS!

here's the event PICS at Fantasy T-Shirts!

 the event kicked off smooth and ended with a bang. 3 live performances, DIY shirt screening, and local artist sporting the best of what local Berkeley has to offer!!

hey!

had my first shoot for a Baptism in San Jose, CA this past Sunday. still processing the pics and will work on slideshow. i'll post something on flickr when all the processing/touch ups are done. later i will include additional artsy shots. 

tried fishing last sunday in Los Banos. went to the Mendota Canal few miles from main Los Banos intersection. we did catch some fish, but none of them were keeper size (18").
