The Weeks That Went On

A little update on what's been going on:

1. Getting ready for school at the Academy of Arts University
2. Still trying to find an apartment in/near SF
3. Ideas continue to come up in my head for new projects
4. Hip hop album almost finished
5. Folk album and jazz album almost finished
6. Car needs to be fixed
7. Might be shooting for sfstation.com
8. Trying to transfer jobs

Taking small trips, taking care of business with school, finding places to live, and other things have been the primary thing in my life so far. I'm definitely going to photography school. I'm very excited!!

So in one week I met up with some old friends in Santa Rosa, saw Heartsounds play at The Captive, and photographed Kevin and Janelle's new born baby. A lot of editing, but excited seeing the end results.

I'm thinking about redoing the format of my blog to the old entries easy to access. Seeing Will Son's website inspired me to do some rearranging. Expect a new format soon!!

What I've been working on lately

There's been so much going on lately. Graduations, parties, having a new "cat" son, and preparing myself to move to San Francisco. It's been out of control. First off, I am happy to say that I have finally have some recorded material that's finished. I have a jazz album, a folk album, and a hip hop album that's currently in the works. All these compositional ideas I had awhile back kind of fell to the ground so it sort of bummed me out. Now that I have stuff recorded, I have the opportunity to design these albums. I feel fine...

Some of the pictures above are examples of restorations and photo manipulations. Those were used to show a particular skill I had in order for me to waive out of two classes. Yes.. that's right. I will be going back to school to receive my B.F.A. Degree at the Academy of Arts University. I finally graduated from Fresno City College with an A.S. Degree, along with four certifications: Photojournalism, Commercial, Portraiture, and Fine Art.

That's pretty much it. I know it's been awhile, but I've been busy with a lot. Expect more updates in the near future.
