KIDS!!

April 21, 2009

I LOVE KIDS!!! People are always asking kids what they want to be when they grow up, so they can get ideas. At least thats what I did. I asked my son the question, and he answered “I want to be an artist.”  

I consider myself more of an artist than a photographer.  I’ve always been submerged to the beauty that art brings to this world. Many ideas come from wonders that have crossed a kids imagination at sometime during their childhood. When I was growing up I would spend most of my day living in my imagination.  Funny story, growing up, my mother thought I was going to be the first hispanic president because I was always coming up with new ideas on how to do things differently…(LOL… sorry mom, cant say I didnt try!!!)  Anyways, I took pictures of these kids with the intention of making a collage. During the time I was shooting the pictures, I already knew they were going to make a great combination of characters. Each one of these kids will eventually have their own story, their own book. There story has begun, and hopefully one day this picture will remind them of their beginnings. their roots!

Juanito celebrated his first birthday yesterday, april 17th, with all his friends and family! It was filled with fun games, delicious candy apples “with chile”, food, and of course a pinata filled with candies. Personally it was my first pinata that I get invited to take pictures. There was approximately 60 kids, most under the age of 4. I’ll be the first to say, it did take a few minutes to get adjusted to the rhythm of the pinata. I also have to say that I did enjoy taking pictures of all the kids. Some of them loved being in front of the camera, while others gave me a weird look and ran away, haha.. After the party was finished and I drove back home, I reflected back on how cool pinata parties are to photograph!! I might just try to book some more!!

These are some of the pics from Juanito…

COOL VIDEO!!

April 14, 2009

WOW!! This video just made my day, Its titled “Evidence of My Exsistence!” and its is a visual synopsis of photojournalist Jim Lo Scalzo’s revealing memoir.

Combining passages from his book with photographs, video, and Super-8 film, Evidence of My Existence brings to life a deeply personal account of 17 years spent moving from one new story to the next. Like the book, it is a manic exposition on a life in photojournalism and the consequences of obsessive wanderlust.

For Lo Scalzo, a veteran US News & World Report photographer, as with so many photojournalists, it’s about the going.

Well here is the link,

LAREDO HEAT SOCCER

April 11, 2009

Through the past 20 plus years of my life I have been a soccer enthusiast. It is my personal favorite sport not only to play but to watch as well. The memories and life lessons that this sport has given me are simply priceless. Soccer is the only sport that can create peace between two countries for atleast 90 minutes!!
I personally feel that it is an awesome privilege for Laredo to have its own soccer team. For the past three years I have attended most Laredo Heat home games. I’ve enjoyed every season, but last year was by far my favorite. Each game brought something else and as the season went on the games kept getting better. I so excited about this year!!! I think its gonna be the “THE SEASON!!”.. This season, Abel and I will be attending all games. We will be working on some video projects for the soccer club throughout the year; Including commercials, promos, etc.. To get the full schedule visit http://www.laredoheatsc.com/schedule.htm .

P.S. If you see me there, smile at camera!!

Check out the TV commercial that we put together for the team. It will be airing in Univision throughout the season.
