Richmond Hills

Here's a very simple post about a very incredible person by the name of Crystal Dawn Davis. I met Crystal after moving to Oakland and she is nothing short of an ideal friend. These shots were taken a little over a week ago when me and her finally got the chance to take a nice walk through the hills of Richmond together. She has basically connected me with 80% of the folks in my second book and has opened so many doors by doing so. I am forever grateful to have her as my friend and i will miss her as she is starting a new chapter in her life over the pacific in Kona HI.

Thank you Cikee!

Sac 1.5

Here are some steals i grabbed from Sacramento in October of 06' when i first moved out to the bay. I love going through my archives an diggin' out earlier shots cause it shows me how much i have grown in such a short time and how my vision has evolved a bit.

I had a fantastic time this past weekend from Saturdays Bird Flu show featuring Amanda Lopez, Leo Docuyanan ,Shane Nash , Scott La Rockwell , Austin Mcmanus and Trevor Traynor to Spending a lovely afternoon with miss Jenni Tay.

I actually have my First wedding this weekend and should prove to be quite interesting from me perspective.

stay blessed and have a great week ya'll

Laura Croft is dead

Now this right here is a first for my blog and it's something i never thought i would post because it has nothing at all to do with photography. I somehow find it ok to blog it at this very moment and will probably regret it later but, i grew up a Nintendo kid what can i say ?. By no means am i "mr super into video games" but, i rock a PS3 and still find the same enjoyment playing it as i did when i was dodging oil in spy hunter or snakes in pit fall.

With all that being said i'm kinda excited about this little action game developed by A2M interestingly entitled "Wet" . It hasn't been released yet but, i look forward to gettin some game time in when it does.

Awkward post i know but, i have grown to appreciate cinematography alot more recently and i think that this game possesses some kick ass imagery and cinematic crazyness!

Below are some insane stills courtesy of IGN.COM and Rubi is her name.

 

It's nice to post something different from time to time

Flight 701

From my recent flight from PHL to SFO

Between the sitting on the runway and cruising thru the skies it was a 11 hour trip. 

Crazy right?


Have a great weekend

RJH

I spent a afternoon pickin some fruit and taking in some foul smells of farm animals with heather , steve and the kids while i was home.

Grabbed some shots of Ryan pickin some cherries and sneaking some strawberries on the downlow (well actually everyone saw him eating them!)

but i had a good time and a great memory to bring back with me.

and right about now i'd love to be right back there on that farm with them again

love that kid

thanks guys

Trooper

She's gotten so big since my last visit and just by looking at these images i get so choked up by how much she's been thru and how much she means to so many people in this world. Me and Heather have grown so much and i only wish my father could see his beautiful family now.

I have plenty more of my crazy nephew that i will post soon but, this time i wanted to share with you my gorgeous niece Kaelyn and all her slobber :)

 

I've been going thru my niece and nephews photos from the trip and i just couldn't go to sleep without posting this.

I Love you Heather

Thank you

g'night

Our Countries Birthplace

So, i haven't posted much during or since i got back from my east coast visit and the reason being is that my Oakland job has kept me playing "catch up " since i got back but, i am basically stuck at the house this weekend so it gives me the chance to work on the images i brought back with me. I had a fantastic time being back again and this time around i was fortunate enough to kick it with some folks i haven't seen in over a decade which was quite nice. I Spent moments with good friends and family and i wish i had more time to do all the things i cant do 3,000 miles away. Grabbed some shots to finish off my book and i want to thank Dinyel, Kelly, Rocco, Gia, Gus and Jeff for being a part of my life as well as my short visit home. I'll be posting more very soon on here as well as flickr and as much as it saddens me that i might not be back there for a long time , i know i must do what i have to do in order to make things right in my heart.

Here are some shots fired near Rittenhouse Square in Center City Philadelphia June of 09'

plenty more to come as always

love life

for now here are some images from Ocean City, NJ 09'

 

 

 

Pack

I'm very glad i decided to go out tonight.. i had a great time and i'm super happy about the company i had.

I won't be sleeping till i get on the plane so, posting a photo or two is definitely in order to kill the time till then.

This first hit was taken at the Japanese Tea garden in Frisco 

The second was taken along the tracks in East Oakland

Base Walk

These are from at least a year ago at the Oakland Army base , in fact it was about a year ago today. I haven't been back since but, it's an amazing place if they haven't already demolished it completely then you should check it out.

I'll leave you with a very talented fashion photographer i'd admire named Christina Felice

check her out
