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

A blog from a friend and fellow strobist

There I am standing behind our beautiful model Stephanie! © 2009 - Kim St. Dennis

I wanted to share with you all today this blog that my friend, fellow photographer, and Strobist user, Kim St. Dennis has written. This past Sunday, Kim, Myself, and our friend Gerald Gonzales shot in Downtown Los Angeles in the Wherehouse and Artist's districts of town. We came face to face with some drug dealers toting bicycles, and speed demonds trying to run us over in the road, but we survived to tell the tale! Read all about it in Kim's Blog!


Sorry for the slow blogs this past week. I've been pretty busy with editing and keeping things going. I will have something up very soon!

Thank you everyone!

Back Pocket Memory has invited me to shoot their next concert!

The other day I was talking to my buddy Jason who is a drummer. I've known him since High School when we were in the music program together at John Burroughs High School in Burbank. He was the captain of the entire drum line at the time. I was talking to him about my photography and how he's in a band now called "Back Pocket Memory" check out their myspace here!

So it turns out that the band is looking to get some new photographs in the next month and they have invited me to come to their gig this next Wednesday the 6th in Studio City. It should be a lot of fun and I will also be shooting the Arizona based band Corvo Radio which should be a blast as well. So today I went and bought some new ear plugs and am preparing for the show.

Should be fun! Look for a new update with how it went and what I learned doing this show!
