First Post

It’s ‘Been A While’, Staind hit song which clocked over one hundred million views seemed the appropriate driving force behind my first blog input. Despite having Ragga Reggae and dancehall music pulsing through my veins, I love good music, all genres. It’s funny, but the song is a reflection on my life, chasing the photography dream, and as I listen to the words I realize that we all are subjects to that constant change, our choices. Nonetheless, I am one of the fortunate ones, I am blessed with a beautiful wife, wonderful kids, and the resources to embrace my ultimate mode of expression, the art of photography.

For me, it’s a personal art. I love it and so I know like a poisonous addiction, I will die an artist photographer. The wonderful thing is now having the capacity to communicate my love to the world. The passion and drive was always present, but now it’s fire. I am taking over this genre. I recall my first picture 20 years ago as if it was yesterday, and today, here is what you need to expect from my blog. I will give you the real take on this wonderful addiction. My communication may be flawed at times, but every photograph will bear my soul. The work will be raw, real, and executed with a passion as if it’s my last opportunity to shoot.

I am currently getting my feet wet with a project documenting Sacramento residents with dual passions. They are people that I understand since we are from the same cloth. Some work their 9 to 5 to feed their addictions of music, dance, flight, and painting to name a few of the passions. Here is one such person.
