The Garcia Family

Below are a few pictures of my coworker, Sonya Garcia and her family. She initially wanted pictures of her little son Paul, but I thought it would be a good idea to include everyone in the family. This family is by far the easiest people I have ever worked with. I told them to be natural and they did just that. I hardly had to pose them since they are entirely a beautiful family. This family was so comfortable to work with like I knew them for a long time. They were so comfortable I even got Sophia to eat dirt.

Project Homeless

These photos were taken several years ago for my photography class at the Art Institute of California-San Diego. Our final project was to choose any subject that we like. I chose to do a series of homeless people in and around San Diego. It was a mission let me tell you. Some I offered money, sandwiches or some just loved getting their picture taken. Some were vicious and I recall three homeless drunk ones wanted to kick our ass for asking. It was tough seeing how they live and eat. We should never complain in life because we have it so much better than all of these people. Here are a few from that day.

DJ's Graduation

One happy grad, two families. These photos were taking about 2 weeks ago. Dj graduated from Lakeview Jr. High and his parents thought it would be a great idea if I took some memorable pictures of them. This was my first family pictures done and let me tell you, its pretty tough.

New Grad!

So yesterday my cousin Katherine graduated from High School. Now I feel so old. It's been 11 years since I have been out of high school. I am very happy for her and hope her future is successful in whatever she does. Today her family organized a party for her achievements and also for her upcoming birthday. I thought it would be nice to capture a few moments that she can look back at one day.

Women of Cardona

My wife's best friend Happy wanted some pictures before she got her braces off, so we did a little photo shoot at my dad's backyard. She didn't want anything special, but I hate doing things that are not special especially if it's my photograph. Berdette wanted to get in a few shots with her best friend and it ended up turning into "Women of Cardona" Just for laughs I made an article out of it supposedly in a Maxim Philippines magazine.
