In it, there's also my team's pictures... Nate's is #1, mine is #2 w/ Brigitte Buny in it.

Wedding: Scott & Hiromi


My friend Nate and I shot a wedding over the weekend and it was truly a treat to watch these two get betrothed and spend the rest of their lives together. They were absolutely adorable and just great fun to be around. There was never a dull moment on this shoot. At the ceremony, they had a woman play a beautiful song on the flute that was lifted you to another level. All in all, an unforgettable ceremony between two very lovely people.

I did a photo shoot w/ my old buddy, Jason Finn, who is a great actor. I seriously mean that, too. He starred as one of the leads in "Freedom Writers" w/ Hilary Swank, Patrick Dempsey, and recording artist, Mario, and he just took the screen by storm. Check out the movie for his brave, harrowing performance. See if you can locate him on the poster... amazing stuff:

The Mixmaster Is In The Building!



In the studio sessions with producer Battlecat (Snoop Dogg, the Game, Xzibit) and rapper Vince Ayon. I'm producing a music video for them... a track called "A Soldier Never Dies". Took this shot while the mixmaster was at work. The Paramount Studios Recording facilities are dope.

DANCE DANCE!

I was fortunate enough to be invited out by my friend Nate Fu to film behind the scenes of a dance ministry group in Santa Ana. The group's called Urban Arts Outreach. They were a pretty dope bunch consisting of poplockers, breakdancers, and other eclectic groovers. I did some BTS and put together some setups of the dancers and got a video together that I myself really dug as well. The dancers and other seem to have responded really well to the video too, so I'm sailing over the moon!

Without further adieu, the video...

Special thanks to Ginger Ying, Dan Emmerie & 5Eleven for letting us film there!

Lan Pham Photo Shoot




Lan Pham, my makeup artist Kirstin Ryan, and myself all went to a nearby nature retreat to get some splendid shots in nature. She wanted a shoot that was drenched in the spirit of forestry and I hope I did it for her. I wanted to shoot her in a way that was natural, vivid, and serene. Hopefully I did her justice.
