One of Abel’s goal is too one day be able to lift up an Oscar Award for best Director/Cinematographer. In fact this is his number one goal! We’ve had numerous conversations in which we go on talking about who we would thank. If today we’d get an Oscar, this is what our thank you list would include.

- MOM/ DAD & brothers..
- Diosito lindo!! (the great man upstairs)
- Our wife’s and kids..(That’s if Abel ever gets married and decides he wants kids..)
-The guy next to me (jeff,abel)
- Laredo, TX culture. (Its made us who we are..We are the most unique city in the world!!)
- Marcela Moran (Our film and photography professor at TAMIU)
- And __________ for playing the lead role and producing the film!! (Fill in the blank with the following: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kanye West, or The guy from the Harry potter movies.. haha)

Today we received our first ever award. Jesus Martinez founder/President of Brown Impressions Car Club handed us an awarded for our great work during the last car show. We were hired to photograph all the cars in the show…”the pictures came out amazing!!!” (see previous blog on car show to view pics). It might not be an Oscar or a Moonman but we have to start some where. I guess its special to me since its our first ever official award. I can bet you that our wall is the only studio that has something else than just pictures.. Check it out.

We shot this at 12am. We came up with the idea over a few beers and it turned out to be one of the best shoots Ive done. It seems to me that spontaneous ideas are sometimes more original than if you sit down and try to come up with something. Anyways here they are.. comment on the pics…
