6.9 on the Richter scale
I survived my first earth quake here in Los Angeles, and the photo above is what it felt like… No just jokes, it really wasn’t too bad. Strange feeling though. I was sitting in bed on my lap top working on some website changes, and all the sudden my door started shaking… Then my rack [...]
Just west of Lincoln blvd
Okay, so I got a little carried away shooting this afternoon. But, c’mon. It was unreal.
I showed up at the park around 4:45 pm and stayed till sundown. Everywhere I turned, one skater after another was launching airs… And landing them. It was awesome, to bear witness. I have never seen an 8 year old [...]

Cyphervision feat. Kelly Slater
Now, I know this video is a few weeks old… but watching it I am still amazed by what happens when technology meets art. Because Kelly’s surfing is a form of art. The footage showcases Kelly surfing in both Mexico and Tahiti, and I believe this is just a taste of good things to come!

iPhone wonders
These photos were inspired by the work of one of my favorite photographers, Chase Jarvis. Chase is the type of visionary that I aspire to one day match in creativity, inspiration, and impact.
His work is very highly acclaimed, but what I find very unique about Chase is his ability to push conventional limitations. He has [...]

Has anyone ever seen the movie or read the novel White Oleander? Ever since I saw that film, I have had a fascination with polariods. It was a very small part in the movie, but for some reason I noticed it…
