West Virginia.

This past October, one of my roommates invited everyone in our apartment to visit the place she grew up in. It was so incredibly kind of her family to house all of us for the days we were there and drive us around to see the area. I was born up north and have visited a few of the states in New England, but never to West Virginia. It was a great opportunity and we all had a great time. It was also fortunate enough for us that Bridge Day was occuring when we went!

psychological portraits.

We had an assignment where we had to shoot portraits. But they couldn't be regular, every day portraits. They had to speak to you psychologically in some way. I chose to make my portraits a tad on the creepy side. I took some of my friends to an abandoned house nearby (seeing as though that's the creepiest place I know of) and took photographs there.

down neptune road.

A friend of mine, Ida Flores, introduced me to this wonderful abandoned house near our homes in Orlando. This was the first time we payed it a visit. Enjoy the shots.

the subject is color.

I'm currently taking a class called The Art & Science of Color. I can't honestly say I've learned much but I do appreciate color photographs more so now. We had an assignment where we needed to find color and make it interesting. I decided to visit some places around Sarasota, put the view out of focus and take a photo.

Warped Tour 2010.

I recently started collaborating with a webzine named Admit One Media. It's actually really fun and convenient for both sides. If they are able to, they will get me permission to photograph the artists and/or interview them and in turn, I get in for free. 

The way it works is that I find shows that I would like to attend and I send an email to the webzine. They try and find a tour manager of some sort and get permission on my behalf. Unfortunately, not everyone responds and I'm not always able to get into the venues I really want. Although I did get a pretty big break getting into Warped Tour. I send in a request about a month before the tour came to Orlando and I didn't receive an e-mail back until a week before the show; I had already given up on getting in. Needless to say I was pretty excited to able to photograph all the bands that would be performing. Even though it was very, very, very hot, I would definitely do it again next year!

rooftop.

These images were back in the summer. It's been a couple of months since I've posted anything at all, actually. But here's to getting back on track and staying on it.

I've recently become close friends with this lovely young lady, Lilia Rendon. She's such a sweetheart and very pretty at that. Not too often do you come across girls with both of these qualities. I decided to take her to downtown Orlando and go on the rooftop of a parking lot to take some photographs when the sun was going down.
