I haven't been out on my own in quite sometime but, this past weekend i had the chance to hit the flats and find a few clicks out there. I love re-visiting the places that i captured here in Oakland over the years, this time taking lefts instead of rights , getting lost and working on being a better shooter.

Frame Of Mind Vol.1 Screen Shots
"Frame Of Mind" is a small side project I’ve been working on for the past several months incorporating people I respect and who inspire me to create. By no means am I attempting to be an interviewer or a filmmaker , It's tough though, cause at times i feel like another one of those random people who picks up a DSLR and starts shooting video, having never learned how to photograph with it first. I am a street photographer plain & simple and as the compact HD video revolution continues, i struggle with whether or not i have the right to do video without proper understanding of what most people with these cameras ignore. Codecs, perceptual compression,transcoding, layering, inverse telecine, audio levs ect.....so, please focus on the peoples words and thoughts and not the video/audio work, the idea was to help the viewers and myself learn a bit more about the people, which might not have been possible with a still image.
Knowing how to capture, edit, and post process HD video is very valuable these days but, i have always felt that the still image reigns supreme and holds more value than any frames per second could.
I'll be launching Vol.1 Part.1 this Friday, featuring Jenni Tay, and while shooting for Vol.2 (may-june) i will release Amanda's,Trevor's,Eric's & Leo's.
stay tuned

Im greatful to know so many good people since Jenni came into my life. Proof positive is Jon & Ty Ty and their one week old beautiful baby girl Milo. Thank you guys for being the people that you are and i wish you Bailey and Milo health & happiness and lots of patience! (Jon don't worry, she won't turn out like Haley Dunphy from modern family) Jon is also a very talented shooter and i'm glad he recently started up a blog about the abundance of women in his life to share with us all.

GetLive Sessions Pt. 1
Since i moved to Oakland , there have been a few artists that i really wanted to work with.Rafael Casal & Daveed Diggs of The GetBack were most definitely at the top of the list. I knew of Rafael's poetry on Russell simmon's years ago and thru my friend Marlina Contreras i discovered more of what Rafa & Diggs were doing as The GetBack. Needless to say i'm honored to have been a small part of an ongoing "GetLive" project, shooting some stills and assisting in media any way i can. Big thanks to everyone there for making me feel at home and i hope to be involved with future GetLive sessions!
Here are some stills from the other day, as well as some links to the talented folks involved !
