The year is about to end. im still going.

My old Alley over looking Downtown LA. I would walk home through this alley everyday after work. I remember walking in the rain crying.Often.

 

I did some movie stills for this indy. its a long walk through life. i'm steady pacing.

Its been a long time, since i left you.

It's been a long time since i postedd anything. Time flys when you are in school and working full time, still trying to make it to shows and network with new models and anyone of interst really. these shots are two of many i just got developed. i developed thirty seven rolls of assorted 35 mm negatives. there was rolls dating back to 2006. Some of them were all drunk point and shoot and some of them really made me look at my evolving work and over all aesthetic. Its funny when you lay out hundreds of images you shot over time and see flaws, accedental success and how i was shaping up to be the kind of shooter i am today.

The top shot of Ashley is from 2011.

                                      This second shot is from an art show in 2009 i believe

I just got a 4x5 camera, stay tuned.

Wish you well.

Hair long and black and curly like you cuban.

I love this girl, came and shot with me last minute then we went and had burritos. She is truly beautiful, i don't use photoshop and Alex is the perfect example of why i don't need to.

Thank you Alex.

More Sf shots from May of last year.Time flys.

Im so busy, and so tired.

Being creative is a burden. Sometimes i wish i could just turn it off and sell all my photo shit and be happy just working a blue collar job and drinking on the weekend, just waiting to knock someone up and throw in the towel.

I dont have it in me to give up but since i have turned thirty years old i feel like im failing cause i am not on the level i wish to be. When i catch up with friends i talk about all my photo journeys and people i have shot or who i am working with next, and it sounds exiting but really its just tiring. Photo is such an over looked medium of art. i get great feed back, a ton of blog hits but none of it is paying the bills.

I took these images in SF, editing a lot of old work and i keep coming back to these rolls. i miss shooting street but am lacking the drive to make new street work or any for that matter. i say that but i am still shooting daily and wanting to shoot myself in the face every night. i can only hope to get hit by a bus while waiting the stop and die grinding and leave my legacy as a starving artist for my mother to collect off my negatives and gamble it away, only to borrow more money from my brother to bury my ass.

enjoy these free images.

They couldnt fade with a clipper blade
