Heinenken Star Bottle #arrivebig Event @heineken_us

Last Thursday, I took my last final for the spring semester. To give myself a break, I attended a private heineken star bottle event at the Brooklyn Naval Yard. The whole set up was amazing! Black carpet roll up, tall green goddess siring ice cold beverages with a smile and private boats scooping people up every 20 minutes to keep the place flowing. The Naval warehouse was decked out with a greenery wall in the front where i used my new macro lens. The place was packed and had some celebrities as well; Wilmer Valderrama (Fez from That 70s Show below) Overall, and surprise performance by the band FUN. Enjoy the photos, more to come soon. I shall do an all macro shots blog. Feel free to comment and see the rest on my facebook page. The like button is at the bottom and here. Take care and stay thirsty. By the way, if you would like to use any images, please tag it to my page or give me credit.

Im back. Come check out some photos from the Heineken Star Bottle #arrivebig Private Party at the Brooklyn Naval Yard

JERSEY BLAZE

It was past midnight this morning, I was surfing netflix and all of a sudden the house shook. BOOM! I heard a car alarm go off and I went to see what was going on. Just like that, someone’s jeep was on fire! It was wild, smoke scorched the block. It was vivid, something out of a movie. The cold air just seemed to make the fires run wild. It was a cool view so I grabbed my camera and got a couple of shots. I wish I went closer but all the crackling sounds, my behind stayed right by my house. Check em out. Stay thirsty my friends.

A New Year, A New Dawn

Dear Readers/Bloggers,

Greetings friends and strangers. Last year most definitely ended in a climax; however, I’m not dwelling in the past no more. It is a new year and new dawn. If you feel the need to change the way you live to extend your future, go ahead. If you feel the need to buy a copy of Rosetta Stone to pick up a new language, go ahead. It’s a new year to begin the way you would like and gain some sort of control back into our lives. Don’t forget your resolutions, make them count. I attained a 3.45 GPA last semester; I wrote down 3.5 on my goal list. Every little bit counts, lets do better for ourselves and achieve above our expectations and enjoy life. By the way, I’m made my school’s newsletter for being an awesome student and photographer. Check out the smooth write up here. be blessed and tell again friends.

Memoirs of a Student

Sorry for the long time lapse guys, just have been focusing on finishing school so i can get sicker lenses–Haha. I have plenty of ideas but low cash flow. So I’ve been taking time to increase my salary and net worth. I have a B+ average so far, just have to keep on trucking. Don’t worry, Good Photography is here, just need to focus on the important stuff first. Stay sexy my friends. Thanksgiving pictures will be coming up.

GOOD EATS

This past week I have making my physical life better. Slowed down on the drinking and now focusing on the healthy aspects of life. Nothing better than some first. So made myself a homemade strawberry-lime ice tea.

 

Today, I decided to hit up the beach with my friend Andres. We first had to try this awesome Sushi place called Sawa Steakhouse. Couple steps from the beach and we are in there. Awesome spot, try the food. All pictures are taken from my iphone and instagram.

Photo of the Week: Crime Scene Bokeh

One night, I was walking through the city after an event and I found bright lights and yellow tape. It seemed like an accident had occurred and the area was sealed off. However, my camera wasn’t sealed off and I took this awesome picture of the crime scene yellow tape. The depth of field and cluttered bokeh makes photo sound. Hope you enjoy and stay tuned.

Final Editing Project: School Daze

Here is the final product of my imagination. Took me a weekend to figure out what to do with all the restrictions. Just all editing, camera angles, sound and transitions. Let me know what you think. Enjoy and leave a comment. More to come in the summer.

First time for everything

Whats going on guys? The semester is almost up and my first ever short film is almost done. The requirements for the editing class was to film at one location, 2-3 actors, no dialog and at 3mins long. Im just putting the last tweaks on it but it will soon be done. Here is a short preview of the beginning. Reminder, i shot, produced, directed and edited the film myself. Stay tuned. more to come.

Waterfall Longtime Exposure

Recently, I visit the Museum of Modern Art in the city. As I left, I saw a nice waterfall that I wanted to try an experiment with. So I set the camera with a high iso, slow shutter speed for a long time exposure and this is what I got. I hope you like it and be sure to like my facebook page and stay posted. Finals are up and loads of photography to come this summer.
