The Kids are gonna be fine

Life has its unexpected ups and downs; and in my case I had a big down fall with my pups.  Ill keep the story short due to nothing needs to be said but,  "the kids are going to be fine".

I love you two so much and I hope you both are happy :)

The Wire

There are things that I'm learning on a daily basis.  I'm not perfect and it's because I am not perfect, that I am happy with who I am.  My expectations are not high at all, yet I do have standards and I have a right to be choosy and picky about anything I want or do, hence why I won't settle for anything I do not want.  My life in the past 5 months have been something else... I moved to Hollywood, I parted ways with my girlfriend, and I am embarking on a soul searching journey.  Los Angeles is one hell of an interesting city, and its because that I have to start brand new in a city I do not know that will be truly an amazing journey.

I just want to give the public and my readers (if anyone reads this mumbo jumbo) some sort of insight to my crazy, imaginative, and chaotic manners.

I miss my brothers

its expensive as shit to live in LA.  It ain't for the cheap.

I am working on multiple projects all at once; hence why I dissapear from time to time.  I'm sorry; its my creative hungry demon that takes over.

I'm a tad bit crazy.  Then again who isn't?

song mood:  Blood on the Leaves

I have an intense Love/bored relationship with my Job

I have some of the coolest friends


i miss my dogs

again this is all to just clear my mind. give some insight to the crazy guy I am.  From here on, the post on this blog will be more frequent; in hopes of getting some readers and getting some word out there of my photography and adventures in the world. :)

Lack of RGB

Some of my favorite and most epic pictures do not consist of your typical RGB color format.  There are times when a lack of color, and an emphasis on one particular color can transform a picture into a story so much deeper than what it may seem.  Here are some colorful, yet lack there of pictures:

The chapstick

Chongo at 8 weeks

Leggings

Family Love

The Banana 

Kiss of Death

myself as I

I always find it funny that as a photographer it is always hard to find pictures of oneself considering that I am the one taking pictures of everyone else.  I am always behind the scenes, recording, or just evaluating a scene to get some photo ideas; hence the lack of photos of myself.

None the less, when someone does pick up my camera, I always find it nifty to see how others capture me in a picture... It's as if, I am sometimes still a photographer looking at pictures of another person who just happens to be me.  Here are some random shots taken of good ol me. enjoy!

Chongo & Skutch

Hey, heres 2 frenchies

they're my babies

yes 2 puppies

So Call me Crazy 

So Chongo happens to be a handful, and he wants constant, constant, constant attention; so with that note we got him a baby sister named:  Skutch.

Skutch

       Skutch (rhymes with “butch”) it is NOT an Ebonics word (don’t know where they got that idea from) and definitely does NOT mean “slut” or anything like it.  It means “pest” and has been used for several generations by Italian-Americans.  It comes from the Italian word “scocciare” (pron. Skoh-CHA—reh) which means “to bother or annoy”

“Stop Botherin’ me, ya skutch!”

(urban Dictionary)

this lil skutch right here... she is more of a handful than chongo was as a puppy.  maybe because she is a female...

when not trying to rip each others faces off they are quite cute together :)

Even tho these dogs give us Hell, we love them so much :) they are keeping us sane while driving us insane in the membrane.

Our Little happy Family :)

The Prodigal Son

Now I may not be the dog whisper, and I may be in over my head; but dam me if I'll give up, because I won't.  I am just as stubborn as my dogs, and I love them very much and cannot wait till the day that they are grown and amazing companions.  Until then, I will unfortunately clean piss and shit 24/7.  C'est La Vie.

The Princess

The Brave and Free

Happy 4th of July.  This is how I spent mine, how did you spend yours?

I met some new people, I mean Chongo made new best friends.

Glare Novice

"To spit rhymes or walk the line"

Young "Glare Novice", aka the young Alex Terraciano is at a point in his life, in which he is torn between music and education.  Of course one can pursue music education, but Alex.. excuse myself, I mean Glare Novice wants to pursue his passion of being a talented lyricist.  "Education is important and I am not abandoning it...I am just taking a break" said Glare.  His goal is to make a move from New Jersey (his home) to the entertainment mecca of the world, Hollywood, California.  Sure he would like to stay in NJ with friends and family and push his image from NJ to the world (with NY an hour away he can still make an impact) but there is something about that california vibe that is alluring.  Like Kendrick and Dre said, "they come for (women, weed, and weather)... Los Angeles being the greater area of Hollywood is a great opportunity for anyone pursuing any sort of entertainment career.  Here are some pictures of a shoot we did while Glare was in LA for a month.  

I moved out here to chase love, life, and my passion.  I always encourage others to follow their heart and do what they can do now... my reason is YOLO.

Chongo

His Name is  C H O N G O, yes you heard his name is Chongo.  He is a full, pure, and AKC registered French Bulldog, Brindle color; and he is our new son in whom we have so much pride and joy :)

He was born April 24, 2012 and is a Taurus, so he is naturally stubborn and a lil asshole from time to time.  Even as I type this up, he wants to make it his priority to chew the charging wire for the macbook, instead of chewing his billion of toys we have for him.

for those who think he is a cat, he is not.  He does have pointy ears like those funny looking felines, but nope.  He is a frenchie, and he would appreciate if people wouldn't mistaken him for another "animal". He said, that is like calling every latin looking person "mexican"... that aint right ( chongo)

Chongo and Mama love to pass out together :)

Here he relaxes in his throne, or as Tania says, the spoiled brat gets the best chair and we have to suffer.

This is him trying to pull off an inverted sneeze because of his small breathing passages.

"A clown in a philosophers cloak" another French Bulldog nick name

This is how Chongo likes to sleep.  I am not going to lie, it is quite hilarious and freighting as fuck.  One minute I think he is sleeping in a funny position, the next I question if he is having a seizure???

always up to mischief
