A short trailer video that I made for this amazing show that I got to be apart of. As some of you may know I am also a poet based in San Francisco and I had the amazing opportunity to be apart of this cast. Video of the performance will follow shortly.
Just started doing night life videography. It’s pretty interesting. Every time I go out I try to do some thing different, I am no where near as good as some of the talents out there, but these are the first two that I put together.
On a beautiful Tuesday evening, the Valentines love filled the air, and so did thousands of feathers from pillows being thrashed around. Each pillow with its own unique bearer, bludgeoning its foe with its soft plush texture. Spectators surrounded this arena of death as they watched mighty warriors, some old, some young, but all smiling, as they enjoyed this violent act that would even bring gladiators to shame. Did I see a girl in a rabbit suit? Did I see Pac-Man? And in the midst of this chaos stood a young girl, the fearless child who stood her ground as feathers splashed across and all over. The air became chilly as San Francisco’s all too familiar weather rendered this photographer’s finger too frozen to continue documentation. I left the evening haunted by the experience, but even more haunted by the photo of the brave girl who fought that day.

To celebrate my best mate, Marc’s, birthday, my roommate, his girl friend, and I headed to Bakers Beach for a nice evening pic-nic, before finally ending up at Burmese Superstar. Though still fighting my cold, and despite sounding like a dead frog, it was nice to step outside the stuffy apartment and catch a few waves on the good ol’ skimboard. It’s been a while since Marc and I hit the skim, and it was the first time we caught some waves together since his accident. Needless to say he’s all better and his leg is healed up. It’s been a wonderful evening with good company. I wanted to post these two photos up, because I really like Sean’s style. He has a very unique flavor about the way he presents himself and I am sure you’ll see him more often on my blog. Marc also has a great style, but I often find him dressed up, even this frame is in a nice pair of slacks and a white undershirt that was underneath his spiffy button up. Tomorrow I explore the many stylings of San Francisco State students.

One of my many lovely friends, Domenica G., left to study in Italy this past week, but before she departed off to her new adventures we were able to explore San Francisco together. In the process we snapped up some photos, shared a hot coco by Fisherman’s Wharf, had some bomb vegan food in the Mission, and walked a little too much. I finally got around to editing the photos that I took and these three stood out enough to make it on my blog. This coming month is finally my 21st birthday, and to celebrate it I decided to change up the look of the blog and begin exploring cultural documentation through street photography and posting more portrait work. I hope to also begin sharing a little bit more about how I think about the world with more comprehensive posts that include my opinions, my poetry, more of my work with Creators Unlocked, and of course my rants. I hope ya’ll continue to follow me! Happy coming February! (p.s click on the images to achieve a better view.)
Life has been busy. Preparing to launch our website on the 15th. #CreatorsUnlocked. Enjoy.
Hmmm… what am I working on recently?
Well, the Creators Unlocked team and I have been working on re-vamping and getting our website back up. It’s a lot of work, but we manage. I appreciate them truly. Other than that, school’s got me working on some interesting projects. Winter break is coming up and I should be revamping this site up a little bit more. More photo-taking adventures and such. Trying to get back into the knick-knacks of things.
Good Night Folks !
It’s cloudy today in San Francisco, but regardless, will try to go snack on some waves. Be back later … .

Back from the eternal and chaotic schedule.
Things are starting to chill out. Thanksgiving is nearing and that means friends and family.
My company Creators Unlocked will be re-launching in the next few weeks.
I’ll try to keep this space more frequently updated.
