Wow!!!!!!! Some exciting news folks. I’ve been featured on
Weddingbee.com Some of you might remember I was in NYC a few weeks ago
for a Scott Robert workshop. The most exciting thing is May (one of
our lovely models and bride to be) featured me on Weddingbee.com What
an honor it is to be featured here. There are a variety of my shots here but the first image is credited to the art
director Bandele Photography. If you have not check out his work you should do so. He has some phenomenal imagery. Bride shot in time square directed by Scott Robert
=) May it was such a joy to work with you and thank you so much for
featuring me. =) Thanks for tunning in. Stay tuned for images from
our latest wedding! =) Click the weddingbee header for the actual post! Cheers, Steve

What’s the difference between these two images?
Last Friday I had a chance to go to the Giants vs. A’s game. A’s go on to rock the Giants 5 to 1. Go A’s. Giants scored on a ER stealing home plate. Anyways, one of the few things I enjoy in life is a good fashion ball game. It’s been literally years since I have seen a baseball game and it brings me back to the days I played baseball in high school. I really miss the sport. Closet thing I can get my self connected to a bat, glove and ball is adult softball leagues. Those are hecka fun. Anyways, the best thing about AT&T park are their garlic fries haha. Throw in some chicken stripes and a ice cold Budweiser and your good to go. If you notice the difference between these two photos just PM me the answer haha. It’s pretty obvious but you could over look it. 1st photo taken during the 2nd inning. Last photo taken in the bottom of the 9th. =)

There is simply nothing like doing photography at the Big Apple. That’s exactly what we all did. Funky, fresh, fun, inspiring all with twists of exciting randomness! =) Last week I was in NYC for Scott Robert’s photography workshop and boy did we have a ton of fun. I think we pretty much photographed most of our days from late morning till pretty much midnight and beyond. Tired, exhausted would occasionally remind us in our physical state but when you put a bunch of inspirational photographers together under the wing of Scott Robert…tiredness doesn’t stand a chance. If you are new to photography or a serious about taking your career to the NEXT LEVEL to create rave about your work attend one of this workshops this year if not next year. You will learn so much you might not even be able to take it all in at once. =) You will learn fundamentals that will enrich your skill set as a photographer. What could be better than traveling to great places, taking pictures and having one hell of a time all at the same time? If you thought too long then you owe it to yourself to check out one of Scott’s workshops and see for yourself.
Without further ado here are crap load of photos I wanted to share from the workshop! =) Inspiration, creativity is contagious people…when you lash on to it go with it. Sometimes if not most of the time it doesn’t make sense but sometimes the results can blow you away =) I only have a handful of photos from so many locations but wait till you see the rest of the folks photos too =). I’ll be back to NYC soon again folks!
Anyways, hope you’re all have a fabulous weekend. My sister is graduating from college tomorrow so I am so excited and proud of her! She’s going to become an amazing fashion designer one day and shes going to hire me to do all the fashion shoots We’re going to take over the world muahahhaah. In the mean time, well enjoy this moment and make sure you get yo daddy a nice father’s day card and tell him how much you appreciate and love him. =) Chao!
Hey folks…I sure am pumpin em out this week. Without further ado…here is Serena! Isn’t she absolutely gorgeous? This was a awesome shoot and we were definitely chasing the light once we figured out what outfit she wanted to wear =) Thanks so much for sticking it out on that windy windy day! =) You rock Serena! Dawin & David thanks for tagging along on the shoot, hope you gentlemen had fun too! =) I’m working on some pics from NYC so stay tuned for those as well.
Misc. Blurps:
So recently I bought a Tokina 100mm F/2.8 for some macro fun only to find it doesn’t have AF. You’d figure I’d know that before I bought it but in this case, nope. Well anyways, I’m returning it for another lens =)
Today gas for $4.78/gal for me. I have to fill up premium. Where is our economy going? I think a lot of Americans need to get our heads out of our bottoms and start being a part of the solution rather than the problem. Gas and fossil fuel is ancient. Lets face it, its dinosaur fuel and we’ve been depended on it since the industrial revolution. Technological progress in over 200 years and still on gasoline and oil…not very impressive technological growth you’d say? We need to start looking at alternative fuel sources to supply energy as we are doing now because out well being economically is at stake. Oil is the the heart of this nations economic power. It fuels everything from out homes, transportation, industries, factories you name it. It’s really simple when you look at it. It’s simply the law of supply and demand. Supply is cut back while demand (being us) need it. Same thing goes for the whole uproar in spiked prices for rice. Supply is cut off on exporting rice thus prices go up while demand remains the same if not more. The government spends billions on research and development for alternative fuel sources while a joe shomoe figures it out in the garage. It’ll happen folks haha, it has in the past. So I guess my question is what will it take American’s to really alter their life styles? When gas is $7 a gallon? For me honestly, right now buying a more fuel efficient car isn’t a wise economic choice because I wont really be saving much in the long run. Yes gas is reasonably higher but how high does it have to go before we and the automotive industry start moving forward. The balls in their court and honestly I doubt and don’t think its necessary for the government to step into the oil industry to regulate fuel cost. Shoot if I had the solution I’d shove oil right up Iraq’s caboose and say adios to oil and gasoline baby! I have no problems with that. Since I don’t have the solution that’s not going to happen but I’d like to be a part of it. Maybe you have the answers were all looking for. For once we are feeling the pinch the rest of the world has felt on fuel cost. We bite our tongue today on the matter but in the next year or so you might not have a tongue anymore the way oil prices are going haha.
I went to buy groceries the other day and noticed after paying for groceries, going home preparing dinner, eating and then cleaning up. Cooking is still not cost efficient for me in terms of money and time. Since time is something I simply don’t have enough of I find my willingness to pay for prepared food more likely than having to spend the same amount of money if not more and then taking the time to prepare the meal and clean up after it. I got home from work the other day at 5:45pm and finished cooking, eating and cleaning by 8:30. Now if I was cooking guest or other people then cooking might be the cheaper route! =) The great part is summer is here now and I love to BBQ. Who wants to do BBQs? Count me in! =) Hope you are all having a great week.
Hey everyone, I’m back from NYC with tons of stuff that needs to be done but here is a shoot I did nearly a month ago hehe. I’ve been meaning to post this but haven’t gotten around to it. Serena if you are reading this I’m doing a post on you next =) Anyways, its been a hectic few weeks I feel like I have been living in s suit case for the past few weekends. Few weeks ago I was out in the Bay area, following weekend it was off to LA and then off to NYC for the Funky Fresh Scott Robert Workshop. I’ll be doing a post on that shortly so stay tuned. I got load of stuff going on this month and July I’ll have three weddings I’ll be shooting and so forth. I am so excited for the month of July and can’t wait to be a quarter century year old hahaha (not really). I’ll be back in the bay this weekend again for the Battle of the bay A’s vs. Giants baby. =) Thats all for now. I hope everyone had a splendid weekend and I hope you enjoy this series of photos too!
Thanks for tunning in.
Cheers, Steve

LA two weekends ago…NYC this past weekend and now back in sunny California. There’s simply no place like home =) I’ll have a full update and post on the Scott Robert NYC Workshop soon! =) I haven’t processed anything yet =) Anyways, a couple weekends ago I was down in the LA area to check out the fashion school my sister will be attending this fall. While we were there I managed to do some photographs of my beautiful sister and my awesome parents. My favorite part of the whole trip was probably Santa Monica near 3rd Promenade. My father is a huge fan of botany and the whole botanical experience so we ventured to Huntington Library. Anyways, I have much to catch up on and will update you soon with a load of photos from past shoots I have just not got around to posting yet. Hope you are all well.
Thanks for reading.
