Intro to IR

Never shot much Infrared before, but the adjusted color scheme to IR photos look awesome. I had a D60 IR convert, but it wasn't really that great. Instead a D50 was used. I do not own a working tripod at the moment, so  there is mad noise in this photo due to an increase in ISO. I'm getting a Ringflash by mid-July and another strobe also. I plan on getting a new Vagabond once funds settle in. The trick in IR photos is to capture all infrared light bounced by the foliage, making them white. Basically, anything alive turns brighter and dead turns dark. Its used alot in forensics and shit. I really need to do projects this summer.

Mariel's Debut

These are some various images from my sister's debut. I wasn't official photographer because this is a family event and I wanted to enjoy. Thanks to my buddy Chris for covering the event. Family was happy and it was nice seeing everybody all dressed up. Enjoy.

PRE-changa

Before my sister's big debut, there was rehearsal. I decided to get a couple shots of the court during their final run. I will not be the official photographer for my sister's event because I want to enjoy myself and mingle amongst various family members. These folks worked long and hard for the past 3 months. Our house served as a motel for the majority of the crew. It was swell and I am proud of everyone. A behind the scenes look at June 25th, the day before D-day.

Jaron vs. Zombies

Czar Jaron aka JonJon aka Jose Rizal aka Mini Pacquaio aka CrazyKid aka Jonsssss grows another year older today. When he's not having all the girls over in his room he is playing XBOX 360 all day. Camera is running out of batteries because I haven't charged it in 2.5 weeks. Today I am shooting debut rehearsal.

Stand Alone Complex

I had a lot of extra beef and jalapeños at my place. I decided to make a burger. By mixing ground beef, jalapeños, tomato, cayenne pepper, furikake, mushroom pieces, and egg, I created a medley of awesome.

Sup red velvet cupcake?

Mixture looked like this:

I was too lazy to use the pan so the homie George Foreman fired it up

I took my time to shape out the right patty. The left was made afterwards because I realized I'm gonna eat it anyways so I don't really care how it looks.

Good ol American. I originally wanted to make a Jucy Lucy, but I got lazy shaping around the cheese

I ran out of buns and sandwich bread so I used some pan de sal

Good Stuff. Tipsy Love

You & Jin & Marvi & Nick & USA

Jin Akanishi from Japan's Kat-tun made his US debut this past weekend. I had the pleasure of accompanying Marvi to see her 3rd favorite Kat-tun member. Her fangirl side is a beast...I brought a point and shoot camera, but due to Mr. Akanishi's request, no photos are to be taken during the show. The seats were swell, the dancing and music was catchy. I only know a couple of his songs, like "A page" and "LoveJuice" so I was glad he performed them. The solo tour tickets were sold out in the first hour when it began to sell on April 15. Glad I camped out for them.

Comple{t10n}

The end of hypnosis. My sister finally graduates high school. I feel old. She is now entering the realm of college where she can discover who she really is inside. Trust a few. Fear the rest. As one chapter ends, another begins.

Thing I do for everyone's graduation:

MvC III

I've always been a fan of the series. I'm now drooling...

More Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds News & Previews

The next gen consoles are too expensive for me though...It would be nice to have one, but I don't have much time.

Mortal Comebaaaaack!

This vid has been out for like 2 months or something. It's been circulating a lot. I still think it's pretty cool. Prelude to new movie/game tie in. It's an old video, so I don't want any stupid comments like "oh this is so old!", "I seen this already"  You heard it here last.

On another note, a more important one...Rawny Rykettz talking about socks:

BREASTS

There's like 50 boneless chicken breast fillets at my house. It was supposed to be for a party, but everybody flaked. So for the past 6 days I'll been eating chicken breasts for lunch.

Added Garlic Salt, Furikake, and Curry Powder

Swell.

I'm gonna get a blue Cheki today and possibly a new watch to replace what has been stolen. Maybe even a phone. Gotta build my karma up though!

The Traffic Gods

LA Shoots

Been heading out to LA a lot these past few weeks for photoshoots. I also been eating mad Diddy Riese Cookies each trip. I finally fixed the issue with my email so I will continue to update again. "KC in an ole Crab" will remain as a backup if any web issues occur. My car got broken into recently. Our whole neighborhood is on the lookout for car thieves this is the 5th time they tried to terrorize the neighborhood. The guns are coming out. My window wasn't broken or anything, but when leaving on Monday my car's door and trunk was open. They got my cell phone, which I strangely forgot in my car due to an exhausting night and one of my SB-80dx flashes. I'm pretty bummed about that. I'm surprised they didn't take my reflector panel or manfrotto monopod, which costs more than the flash. My cell phone was a 2003 Nokia, so I am forced to upgrade anyway. I need everyone's number again...I'm kinda bummed, but kinda thankful that nothing important was missing. My lucky  Quarter is still in the dash. Gonna buy a new speedlite and cell phone this week. Anyways, here are some various shots of the locations we shot at from 4 different LA trips:

Arcade

Simple Fashion district

Olympic

Ain't No Party Like a Pot-Pot Party

John Calacsan celebrated his birthday and graduation party on the same day. MAD EATS.
