Insert mellow dramatics.
The title of this blog will prolly be the title of some of my most recent series of self portraits.They are not really that recent, in fact i think i shot them last march when i was loathing in self pity.
I grew up in Upland California, the burbs for sure. Its really funny how different life in the city is. I guess thats what brought me here.I notice more than anything out here is that people don't complain. No one plays the victim or has daddy issues, people just are. I ride the bus everyday at all times of the day and everyone just has this face of knowing that this is just a part of life and we are all really struggling together so no one feels the need to bitch and moan about what they have and don't have.
So with all that being said, you see some crazy shit when you're walking home from work at 1 am. About a week ago i was getting off the bus on 3rd and Lucas. When i got off this gnarly huge bum got off and followed me for a while when all of the sudden i heard loud slapping. I looked to my left and across the street 2 cholos were beating the shit out of another cholo. The bum sat on the curb and watched and i kept on walkin' till i got about a block down and saw two well over six foot black trannys breaking into a car. Holy shit life is nuts. i got home to my quiet and clean apartment and opened up a can of beer.
My girl likes to play dress up, here is some sexy photos of her.

Lonesome Crowded West.
So I finally made the move from the IE to LA. I live in Echo Park a stones throw from DTLA. its pretty fuckin rad. I have just been drinking,shooting and job hunting, ohhh and changing schools. I used to go to Chaffey College a diamond in the rough, now turning to shit from what I hear. leave it to a faculty with big egos and a little bit of new budget money to totally blow it. I am glad i got to go for the last stretch of the goldin' era. Gonna miss those print sessions with my real lab homies and my mentors.
So I was going to go to LACC, but when i went to file my paper work the whole campus had their head up their asses, so i quickly came home and changed over to Pasadena City College. Another amazing JC. I am really only going to get fresh crit on my new work and to print for shows and my portfolio.
I have a new girlfriend, she is married and leaving her man for me.Check her out.

Broke my pace and ran out of time Sometimes I'm so full of shit that it should be a crime
Man I have been busy so far this summer. I was supposed to move to Hollywood with two of my best friends.Well that fell through, kinda lame cause had I known it wasn't going to work out i could have moved out in May. Either way its for the better, I am now moving to Downtown and paying really cheap rent with a nice size room.My photo gigs are slow and steady, some weeks I shoot 4 clubs some I zero. Its works out tho, i am making it on a few gigs a week. I am going to continue doing so and try to snag a part or full time when I set up shop in DTLA.
On some cool shit, I got to meet Atiba Jefferson, an amazing photographer for skateboarding and now he shoots for the Lakers. It was a book release and signing, I chopped it up with him for a bit. The show was ending and he was pulling his work of the wall, I was joking and asked for a print and he pulled it down signed it and just gave it to me. I felt like a little kid, the bigest kool aid smile walking down Sunset with a 30x30 portrait of P-Ron when he was on City Stars, shot by some Atib's. Fuckin rad!!!
There was also a fight, that is the flick on top, then one with Atiba,Ako and their sister with his neff little Reed.

..If God takes life,
He's an Indian giver.
I dunno if I am jealous or jaded. I just seem to like no one except my immediate friends. Everyone is wrong, nothing is fun (except drinking) and pissing people off. Is it sick that I live to make people uncomfortable in their own skin? I have been working as a club photographer to fuel my desire for booze.
Its funny watching the masses drink themselves shameless. Its sad, these folks are future parents by default. Check this girl out..her boyfriend really respects her, and I think she would make a killer mom.
