Good Morning

Godd Morning All,
I have to decided to do a goal list for the New Year, I know its Jan 7 and I'm already starting off on a bad foot by doing this a week late, but I was busy. I had a crazy and fun New Year's Party and right after that me and some friends took off and went camping to Joshua Tree. If you have never been, I suggest that everyone go at least once in their life time.

Its time for business, this are goals, not resolutions.

• Run/Jog for 20-30mins 4 times out of a week.
• Take more Pictures. Period. (simple)
• Try to keep up my Blog.(daily)
• Go camping at least 3 more times this year.
• Push myself as a Photographer. Both creatively and technically. Increase my communication level with my subjects.(models & people)

I think they are all reasonable goals. I started yesterday by doing 20mins yesterday on elliptical machine. woot woot.

A pic from Joshua Tree:

There was a total of 12 that went to Joshua Tree, we camp at Cottonwood campgrounds located on south entrance of the park off Highway 10, about 2.5hr drive from Orange County. Well worth the drive.

The weather was not too bad, chilly nights and cool and breezy days with the sun above you.

Next time I go, I want to stay at north entrance of the park at higher elevation like Jumbo Rocks campground.

Please visit my Flickr to see more from Joshua Tree and other recent Pics.

Its been months since I have posted a new blog, I guess I just felt there was very little going on with my life including my photography :(

2009, and many new things have happen that I finally feel things could be progressing for me.

I bought my Nikon D90, and I finally have my first DSLR. I hope to be posting more and more of my photography since I hope to be taking a lot more photographs ;)

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)

hoooooray for 2009

School

Fall Semeser 2008 just started.

WoOOHHOOO!

I really want to be here though. I'm sluggish and tired.

I need to get pumped out though. I'm taking some amazing classes.

Moments at CDM

Kinda a belated post, this fotos were taken on 6-29-08 but I decided to post them cause I like them a lot. Me and 2 friends were at Corona Del Mar at sunset and were killing some time before we went to go see the movie "Wanted" --mehhh on the movie-it was OK
I was glad I was able spend some time with two good friends and take some cool fotos (:

Weekend Getaway

baby makiah

My weekened getaway to San Francisco, Sonoma county, and Travis was amazing. There were some low points in the trip but I'm happy I was able to take some great photographs.

I love that I get the opportunity to take photographs
in some amazing places.
I am grateful :)

Jim on Reality

People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain

Jim spoke the truth, ultimate rock star.
