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 :)

Dougie and Tania

Last month I had the pleasure of educating a photography class back in Sparta, NJ.  I made a short video on a photo shoot I did with my boy Dougie F and my beautiful woman Tania. My Boy Roman helped out styling per usual, and I had the twins hanging as well: coco and Breezy. The video just showcased some different types of lighting angles, tricks, gels, photoshop editing etc.  I then also did a skype interview with the class to further explain my passion for photography and to give hope to a younger generation :)

Here are some of the pics from the shoot enjoy!

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

Past and Present moments

Memories

this picture right here... is one of my happy memories.

I have been having the most insane flashbacks of my life.  Dreams of distant memories, of good times and the bad times.  Its funny how life is never what it may seem; its just another concept that is to be perceived by all.  The picture below is from 2007 when I was back in college living in what my mother deemed a, "frat house" yet it was only a house with 4 bedrooms. I had no idea what she was talking about...

But what is crazy is the emotions, and the memories that come back to you when you dream and begin to think about past times.

Sometimes even seeing a sunset can trigger something deep down inside.  Feelings of sadness or happiness.

Then there are those memories that I have that made me feel like a super hero.  The confidence and surge of courage will surge thru me from time to time when I think about great moments like the picture above, when I finally made it to Los Angeles, California :)

Pictures like this above give me the most amazingly eerie creeps ever.  There is this one dream I've always had since I was a young child... an evil, alien, futuristic dream where I always end up dying...I found a scene from my dream and that is pictured above.  That is creepy.

The Basement of Pleasant Place was the go to spot for parties and lil midnight rendevousx  

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

Fiona the apple of my eye

So my friends Steve and Patrick decided to get a beautiful lil puppy named Fiona :)  I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful lil dame last night, and I must say she is a beauty.  Here are some amazing pictures of her. Enjoy!

That amazingly beautiful face.

Tania loved Fiona

After a long day of playing, the lil bugger is exhausted.
