Portrait of meHello and welcome to my photo-blog.

I want to first say thank you for taking the time to check me out.

I started this blog to fill a gap in the way I show my photography to family, friends and potential clients. I have a few other sites were I display my work, however none are geared toward me documenting my thoughts on photography and sharing the things I experience on a daily basis. I shoot all types of photography. Sometimes I think I am addicted. I have countless numbers of pictures saved on my hard drive that would otherwise go unseen. I have so much to share and will take on the task of getting the highlights of my photographic career here on this blog.

I don't have time to maintain several different blogs for all the aspects of my photography so you will see a mixture of photos posted to this blog. It will be business mixed with a bit of personal. There is so much I want to get out and I don't want to hinder myself too much with organization (must be the artist in me). You can rest assured it will all be about my love for photography.

Feel free to leave comments on the photos you like. I would like input to keep this thing interactive. I would also like to share tips with photographers to give insight on how I continue to perfect my craft (it is a constant learning process).

Lisa's 30th Birthday

Today I had the pleasure of photographing a friend of mine's 30th birthday party. Lisa, the birthday girl, held her birthday this year at a quaint little veteran's hall located in Rio Linda. Needless to say when I first walked in the joint I thought I was going to be lynched (lol). Once I overcame my fear and realized the I would live to see another day the evening good times began. Lisa and her husband are an amazing couple and always very fun to be around.

Here are some of my favorite photos of the evening and a cool slideshow to give you a good feel for how the night went.

2009 Autorama

I had a good time today with my two sons. We all spent the day together at the 2009 Autorama held at the CalExpo in the arden area of Sacramento. My youngest boy, Christian, at the ripe old age of four has an incredible passion for anything on wheels. Anyone who really knows me knows that another passion I have besides photography is a love for vintage American cars and any vehicle that goes fast. Having my son share this passion with me is truly a delight.

The day was a little overcast as we arrived at opening time to the gates. However, the weather didn't stop the large number of gear heads from aggressing the entrance and creating a huge line in anticipation of the security workers allowing entry to the fair grounds.

Here are some of the beautiful cars that were on display at the event

The 69 Chevelle (one of my favorites)
