For as long as I've been supporting the LA (formerly known San Diego) Chargers, I have yet to see them at any of their training camps. Took my boys this year since the location of this years camp was a literal 7m drive down the road for me. They naturally had a lot more fun with the games and drills but my dad and I sure enjoyed getting to see them in action so close.
Got to meet some new people from the Unsplash community at Griffith Observatory a couple nights ago. Saw some great sights and made some great new connections!
Halloween was a blast with our neighbors this year!

Earlier this month I got to go to New York to shoot some interviews for an upcoming project. Being that this was my first time ever to NY I couldn't stop taking pictures. Here's what I saw ...
Great friend of mine had a fancy 40th bash in her backyard and it was loads of fun. Here's some of the moments ...
Evening out with my boys in Laguna Beach. This is one our favorite spots to go as it doesnt seem to get super crowded, the water is always clean/clear and the sunsets never disappoint here ofr some reason.
I snapped a few shots while location scouting for a shoot up at Angeles Crest recently. Such a breath of fresh up there and nice little creative outlet for the day.
Easter at the OC Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, CA. Such an awesome time of worship and celebration. Glad to contribute to capturing the memories along with other studs among the ROCKHARBOR photo/video team.
Some shots from a recent beach hang with my littlest homie.
A few weeks back my mom gave me her Canon EOS 650D SLR (35mm film) bought back in ‘88. Had a blast going through the first roll (Fuji Superia 400) and realizing the challenges in shooting non-digital. I shot a few rolls during a b/w photo class I took in college, but I was no where near as invested in photography as I am today. Takes a whole lot more patience and focus for what you’re shooting for sure. After every shot I looked at the back of the camera. You know to review on the … oh wait there’s no LCD there! Being that this was one of the first Canon cameras with AF, I was able to not only use the original kit lens (35-105mm f/3.5-5.6) but also my current EF glass as well.
All that considered, paired with seeing the good & bad come back in printed form, It’s a lot of fun! Finally get why people like to shoot film so much for hobby/pleasure. Could see myself doing this more & more. Also look forward to trying some diff. film rolls, or as i call them VSCO edits since this is the OG, haha!
The first 4 images were shot with my 50mm f/1.2 here in Southern California. The other 6 (shot with the old 35-105mm kit lens) are from a recent work trip to Gold Coast, Australia.
These were 4X6 prints, scanned in at 600dpi. There was no post processing on these at all. Raw look/colors straight out of the camera/film roll.
Kamari is one of the most interesting people ever and is so much fun to be around. Go here to see all the millions of things she's up to!
Moments from the Mt. Rubidoux Instameet on Nov. 22, 2014 in Riverside, Ca.
While on a work trip in Southern Queensland, we got a chance during what little downtime we had to get out and explore the beauty there. Here is a few of Dan from our short road trip up the coast from Gold Coast to Noosa, QLD, AUS.
