Keeping Busy - Update

I know it's been a couple of weeks since I last wrote something.  I apologize.  I've been keeping busy with photography and have just not had the time.  So nobody worry that I have been slacking off.  (Laughing to myself here)

Let's see where to begin.  I'm actually going to keep this one short and just give you the basics and a photo from the event.  As you can see above  I shot my friends band "The Spring Leaves" last week.  It was a lot of fun and I got a few different shots that work really well.  You can visit the band at

www.Myspace.com/springleavesplanet  they are actually from Spain (where they have a full band) and are on a small west coast tour that started in Utah up to Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, and back to Utah.  They had a small layover for a few days in Los Angeles so I took the opportunity to shoot them and give them their first promo shots.

 This past Friday there was a big show here in Burbank featuring bands I have worked with (Jubala, Back Pocket Memory) along with a few other comical music acts.  I covered that for The Burbank Times which I work freelance for every once in awhile.  Photos and a blog should be coming sometime in the next week.

On Sunday I went Scouting to Mt. Baldy, CA with my friends and fellow photographers Kim St. Dennis and Gerald Gonzales and model / friend Stephanie Summers.  It was pretty fun and I got a few good shots that I will be able to use.

Just today I got an assignment for www.TheBurbankTimes.com to shoot the weekly wood carving class that meets at the Stough Park Nature Center in Burbank, CA each Wednesday from 1pm - 3pm.  I also took a couple of Environmental Portrait shots of "Mr. Nature Center" Mike.  He is a really nice guy and participates in all of the activities they throw.  You can also find him leading the weekly hikes that take people all around the Verdugo Mountains above Burbank.

So there is a little update for all of you on what I have been up to keeping myself busy.   As my schedule starts getting tighter and I find myself shooting more I am definitely seeing where my photography is improving.  That makes me feel great!

Thanks for reading
