Sunset Cliffs San Diego

California was just awesome, it was so much fun. I went from San Diego to Santa Monica and back. This is how my trip ended. I shot this at sunset cliffs in San Diego California the last day I was there. In fact I went to the airport right after to catch a red eye back home.

Surfing USA

Whats the perfect way to end a night? Well, for me it was shooting the sunset, for this two guys it was leaving the surfboards on the sand and going for a quick dip to release their inner child. It was loads of fun to watch and better yet to be a part of…

You can’t see the surfers as this was a long exposure. The reason I did the shot at F22 was to get the startburst effect on the lights.

Street Portraits

This is one of my favorite street portraits I have ever taken in my life. I shot this at Outside Lands a music festival in San Francisco California. Well I was sitting there waiting for a band to come onstage, I pulled out my camera and started taking pictures of people, when I turned around this couple was hanging out and it happened so fast but he went in for a kiss, that’s when I picked up my camera and snapped this photo. It’s so in the moment and the timing could not be more perfect. I love the story the photo tells.

Street Ball

Here is one of my favorite street pictures. I was in Venice Beach California when I heard all kinds of screaming, so I ran over to the BasketBall court and started taking pics of this guys.

The passion for the game this guys had was crazy, and just when it looked like they were going to get into a fight, they would just play it off. It was a battle out there.  I specially like the contrast and tones.
