Holidays!

Navidad en casa de los Bustillos Jaquez...

El Paso for Christmas

The lines at LAX were ridiculous... but I made it home safe.
The east side of El Paso is so populated now! Crazy... They have beautiful light, though.

:)

I'm ready :)
Thanks for everything.

Ojai

Drove up to Ojai with Alex in search for nifty Christmas presents... Miserably failed, but it was a nice trip. I love that place, reminds me of Ruidoso, NM.

Arson

Here are some portraits I made for Director Justin Reyes :)

I worked on the Arson shoot at school today. I wasn't able to check out any lights, or the dynalite kit... so Justin set up one hot light for me. That is all I was working with.

Alex Dumas helped with a silver reflector on the portrait of Jona... Gotta give him credit for that!

Taking Back Sunday! Pt. 2

Here are some more shots of the show :)
Check out these thumbnails. I will show you the high-res files if you're interested. :)

Taking Back Sunday!

So it started off like this...
We went to the Nokia Club to set up the dressing room for TBS, and decided to make a self portrait... just for the record. You know, so people could see that I was in their dressing room, haha.



Met them in the afternoon, and just kinda hung out and took a few snapshots of them wearing the designer clothes that Christina and Vanessa had for them...



Vanessa was able to get me a press pass, along with a working pass. I had sooooo much access! I was running in and out of the theater the whole time. Loved it!


Made sure to get a good spot for the opening song "Liar" and took some shots... I was standing
righhhtt by the stage :)















I went to the balcony and made more pictures....
I took over a thousand live shots, so if you wanna check them out, we need to hang out. :)

This was taken at the VIP after party. Matt and a lady friend he was with the whole time...






This is me after the show... I was awake for about 22 hours. Vanessa and I were exhausted, but it was definitely a blast.


I loved meeting Taking Back Sunday. They were sooooooo nice and I fell in love with Matt, their new guitarist who is replacing Fred. I said hello to them for El Paso, and wished them good luck on Dec. 5, which is when they will be playing at Club 101.
Anyway, as I said, I have wayyyy more shots... I am down to share them, just hit me up! :D
