Last week I had the great opportunity to be the photographer for the Northern Nevada Women Lawyers Association’s Extraordinary Women recognition ceremony. The two women that were honored at the event were Elizabeth Lenz and Margo Piscevich. Elizabeth Lenz is a member a Reno Chamber Orchestra Life Member and has served on the Washoe County School [...]
I finally was able to go out a shoot the other day. I went with my compadres, Val, Dan and Fielding to shoot some eerie shots in Reno. I was able to get something that I liked, especially for only having surgery two weeks earlier. I don’t think mine was as eerie as I would [...]
Sometimes the whole Nikon vs. Canon debate/war gets out of hand. It’s nice to see that a few people can make fun out of it and produce some great videos. We will probably see a ton more of these in the upcoming year as new products from both camps are released.
A few months ago, I had the great opportunity to shoot the lovely Tiffany and Riley duo for their fall photos in Reno. Riley, who is only 4, did a fabulous job in her posing and I feel that we got some great shots. I hope I get the chance to shoot many more to [...]
Monday evening was the conclusion of the three-day lighting seminar that Anthony Segarra and myself taught through Gordon’s Photo Service. I believe that everyone had a great time and a wealth of information was learned for both instructors and students. It was amazing to see all of the students learn so much during our live [...]
This year’s Perseid meteor shower was a tad lackluster and difficult to capture due to the almost full moon illuminating the sky. However, with the moon light, I realized one advantage. You can shoot at a lower ISO and/or a higher aperture , which produces less image noise and better image quality. But with the [...]
The Rube Goldberg portrait photography machine is so cool that it’s hard to describe in detail. In simple terms, it basically is a giant falling domino machine using photographic equipment and techniques. If you have a few minutes, you should defiantly check it out. CLICK HERE TO SEE
I just uploaded four new images to the fundraiser to help sweeten the deal for anyone who has not donated yet, but wishes to do so (37 days left!). The following photos are now available as donation perks: DONATE NOW Thanks to everyone who has helped me out so far. I really appreciate all the [...]
Thank You! First off, I would like to say thank you very much for those of you that have contributed to my fundraiser. It means a lot to me that you have taken your time and money to help me out. Further, I am glad to say that the fundraiser has received over $1,100 so [...]
It’s the day before the Fourth of July. Lots of photographers are wondering how to get a different shot of the same show. Well, they could try to implement what this guy did…mounting a camera to the firework itself. I wonder how it would look if you could mount it to a mortar shell firework?
I recently just launched a fundraiser campaign to help me receive surgery that I need in the next few months or so. I used the site Indiegogo to launch the fundraiser. The site is really fantastic in that it simplifies both ends of the deal. The donators just have to click a few times and [...]
Before leaving Japan, I decided to do a quick photo story in Tokyo. I walked the Tokyo region for 12 hours, documenting a typical day in Tokyo. I did get a quick nap at the McDonalds at around 3am before heading back out in the streets. It was a fun and I met some great [...]
I stopped by Nagoya to say Sayonara to Karen, who is simply awesome! After visiting her I stopped by the Nagoya Zoo & Botanical Garden (Higashiyama Koen). I wish I could have stayed in the region longer, because it was very beautiful. Also, I wish I could have spent more time with the lovely Karen. [...]
Authentic Mexican food in japan. Who would have thought that was possible? However Senor La-La Matsumoto was able to accomplish this in the 30 year-old Casa de La-La restaurant in downtown Sannomiya, Kobe. According to Senor Matsumoto, to obtain the authentic taste, one must use authentic ingredients. “The beef and chipotle peppers are only a [...]
I have yet been able to go shoot the disaster myself since getting there is not possible the moment. But here is a collection of some great stills and videos from the horrific event: Before and after satellite images: NYTimes Stills from the disaster zone: NYTimes The Big Picture Video:
After a tsunami and an 8.8 earthquake hit Eastern Japan a few days ago, many people living in west Japan started to plan for such a scenario. I decided to make a go-bag with enough supplies to last me for 48 hours. I would have preferred to have a go-bag with a week worth of [...]
Chinese New Years was a colorful and invigorating experience. I must admit that going to a Chinese New Year celebration in Motomachi, Japan was a little weird. However I believe that it gave me a good taste of the real deal. Since the event was so wide-spread and the attendance was in the hundreds, I [...]
After our Tokyo adventures, Karen and I decided to visit the Kyoto area before returning back home. We first stopped at Kinkaku-ji (Temple of the Golden Pavilion). The area around the temple is really calm and green It also stills has a historic feeling to it and I can imagine several great portrait or movie [...]
New Years in Tokyo was one of the best New Year experiences I’ve had. It was amazing to watch and photograph the celebrations and views from both Tokyo Tower and the Zojoji Temple. I also got to meet the new English teachers as well as some of my fellow trainees. It was a little weird [...]
Awww…. Akihabara. A place where all of your electronic and fantasy needs are in one place. Before going there, I have heard a lot of people describe the place as an electronic heaven with very cheap prices or as an Otaku paradise (An Otaku is an extreme anime/manga nerd) with all the maid and anime [...]
I will just say this up front, Kamakura has so much to offer that it would be foolish to miss this place if you visit the Tokyo region. It has many great temples and shrines as well as places to eat and shop. I only got to spend a few hours at this place, so [...]
Hakone is a nice little town filled with great photo opportunities and vacation ideas. The area features many Onsens (hot springs), the Open Air Museum and scenic views of Mt. Fuji (Fujisan) and Lake Ashinoko. To really explore this place you would need at least two days to see everything. Unfortunately, due to time constants [...]
The Shin-Yokoyama Ramen Museum was a great experience. It had a great atmosphere that really made it feel like you were in 1958 Tokyo (Souwa 33). The museum featured many different antique store fronts including a hair salon and electronics store. There were also old videos of Japanese TV programs playing in rustic TV’s. It [...]
After Tokyo Disneyland my friends and I headed out to the ICEBAR in Ginza, which was built by the company that made the ICEHOTEL. When you first enter the bar, you are required to put on their heavy coat and gloves before making your way to the bar. Everything was ice-carved until it was shinny [...]
