Woke up this morning around 8am to get ready and meet up with Junior. He's graduating with a 6.0 GPA with a emphasis on mathematics. A couple of highlights from our shoot was the fact that we got to expose his passion and love for math by going to a classroom and creating a equation that'll represent him as a individual and his mastery in mathematics. It was a fun shoot and he said this was his first photo shoot. Overall his newbie skills prevailed and these photos came out great. Although CSUEB will be losing a great student the workforce will benefit from Junior's personality and hard work ethics. Congratulations Junior and best wishes to you and your endeavors.

Over the weekend I was contracted by alameda county to shoot a event at Lake Merrit. Here are some photographs of mayor Jean Quan, congress woman Barbara Lee, and some of the crowd that was there. I'm also going to create a short highlight clip of the event so stay tuned for that. I brought along my friend David to help me out and gain more experience behind the camera. Later after that event I came home to dump the footage then went to dinner with Joycelyn, Brandon, and Devanae at a thai joint in downtown called Cambers. To conclude the day we went to watch godzilla. As a quick round up i'd give that movie a 6.5/10. The storyline was okay, I wanted to know more about godzilla though.
Breezy Bear!
Today I woke up around 5am to go to east bay to get some aerial footage with my new phantom 2! After getting the footage I met up with Jonard to have breakfast at Einstein's. He bought me a hand thing that helps with stress from using the mouse to much. Thanks Jo for the sandwich and for helping me out today! Afterwards it was around 9-10 and Bre made her way up to east bay to take her grad photos. I was honored when soccer star/ pokemon master asked me in class to take her grad photos. This session was fun because she brought props that were meaningful to her life and education.
