OMG! WTF Did I Do??

Been talking about it for a few weeks now, but I went and did it Thursday night.  I cut my hair!  It’s gone!  WTF!!  Yeah, I know, I’ve lost my signature “metalhead” look, but even then, I guess I wasn’t too metalhead-looking.  Either way, the

Figure workshop – Jennifer 01

I got in touch with a Sacramento-based portrait photographer by the name of Tim Engle, after I wrote up an article about him and his photography.  He invited me to join the photography group he started, and luckily shortly thereafter, he ended up putting on a

Day 1/365 – Krissy Vomit

Yes, that’s the name she goes by.  Krissy is definitely a very colorful person, and I came to met her thanks to Ivan and Jeff.  We’ve only hung out a handful of times, but she’s becoming one of my closest friends, and is always a

NYE: My Crew

New Years Eve this year was pretty fun.  Unlike the last few years, I spent it out, spent it drunk, and spent it with plenty of friends, both new and old.  Also brought my gear.  Unlike the last time I brought my gear down to

Heidi, my new friend

Steve’s Xmas Party 1

Steve had a Christmas/holiday party at his house on Friday.  It was set up to be the afterparty of our work holiday party, however we ended up not going.  A few people showed up, Joe, Jen, and Jake brought the beer pong table, and we

Sirima 2

Another picture from Sirima’s impromptu “pornstar hair” photoshoot.  She’s looking awfully emo here hehe. This is my Phoenix D92-BZS flash optically slaved off of my Canon 20D’s onboard flash dialed down as low as it would go.  I hadn’t received my triggers yet, so this

Sirima 1

A handful of weeks ago, Sirima came over to the house after just getting her hair done…  She called it her “pornstar hair” haha.  So therefore, being the picture-freak she is, asked for some pictures.  I took it as an opportunity to play with my
