I just got back from El Salvador after eight days of cruising around the country with my better half and her family. This was my third time visiting and I’m now starting to feel quite comfortable. I took a few thousand photos and kept roughly 300. I’m happy with that as my expectations are neverContinue reading “A Few Favorites From El Salvador”

Vamos A El Salvador
I’ve spent roughly one month so far in El Salvador with my better half. Great place with great people and surprisingly great food. I don’t know why I was so surprised, but I much prefer Salvadoran food over the food I’ve had in Mexico. Especially the breakfast. Can’t beat the queso fresco, bread, beans, eggsContinue reading “Vamos A El Salvador”
Some Recent Street Photography
A few photos I like from the last week.
Anza-Borrego Road Trippin’
Road trips in California is something everyone should be doing if given the opportunity. It really is one of the great privileges of living in this great country of ours. If you hate America, just go on a road trip and you’ll probably feel differently afterwards. Me and my better half went on a threeContinue reading “Anza-Borrego Road Trippin’”
Beverly Hills In One Picture
It’s a definite vibe in BH. I haven’t shot there enough, but will be there more in the future. It’s gotta be one of the best neighborhoods to shoot in. Bonus, there aren’t a lot of crazy people roaming the streets like Santa Monica so I feel much more at ease.
Strike Photography At CicLAvia On Melrose Ave
On Sunday, me and my better half rode our bikes on the closed down Melrose Ave. If you don’t know what Melrose Ave is, it’s basically a long strip of designer and boutique clothing stores. Everything from Gucci to local brands. Here are a few of my favorites, mostly taken while riding my bike. OvercastContinue reading “Strike Photography At CicLAvia On Melrose Ave”
Target Camera Selfie
Rule for selfies is whenever I see myself on a screen, window, etc… I take a photo to see what it looks like. The Target one is weird though. It’s a screen right above the self checkout. I’m just looking at myself while checking out. A bit odd but good for the selfie.
What’s A High Level Keeper?
My general rule is about 5% of photos I take are keepers. Sometimes, lower, sometimes higher. My methodology for a keeper is simple. I glance at it and if it looks nice then I keep it. If it doesn’t, it’s deleted forever. But to me, there’s a difference between a low and high level keeper.Continue reading “What’s A High Level Keeper?”
Santa Monica Layered Mountains And Bay
The north Santa Monica Bay and Santa Monica mountains under yet another atmospheric river. Had a small break in the rain and some light peaked out but I was soon under the rain on my walk back home.
The Candid Snap Shot Is My Favorite
I take photos of anything I find interesting but for the me, candid snaps are my favorite. A small glimpse into life. I especially like capturing that glimpse that tells a story. No posing, no working the scene or layering and no willing the photo into existence. I have one shot a the photo. IfContinue reading “The Candid Snap Shot Is My Favorite”
