Magnificent Beard Photoshoot
Magnificent Beard. The amazing duo has setup post and will stop at nothing to defeat them that oppose to create that which is not good design. Test their strong arms… I double dog dare you! They mean business and a mean business they have become. Woe to you who thinks you can topple their reign in this city. Long live their magnificence!
Oh yeah, make sure to check out their interview...

A.Dd+ Photo Shoot
Big ups to A.Dd+, a local Dallas rap duo who is definitely making a name for themselves within the music scene here in the city and beyond. We got to do a quick photo session today for a piece being put together for FL1. Make sure to keep your eyes and ears open for both parties who are doing big things for the future of our hometown.

FL1 x Fur Face Boy
Very few people inspire me much these days, this is one of those few though. He’s really out there pursuing his dream and the things that make him happy. Hopefully, you get inspiration to do the same.

Happy Socks
Brittany.
Tommy.
Elizabeth.
Rocio has been working on a school project for pretty much this whole semester. She is having to re-brand the company Happy Socks. These are some of the test shots I took for her project’s look book. It should be pretty awesome when it’s all said and done. I’m very proud of her and the progress she’s made as an Art Director.

Les Grandes Personnes Ne Comprennent
Went by The Public Trust on Saturday to check out Mylan Nguyen’s show “Les Grandes Personnes Ne Comprennent” (The Big People Do Not Understand). It was pretty epic to say the least. I thought I would post a few photos from the show. I think it runs through April 28th so get down to Deep Ellum and check it out soon. It’s definitely worth it!

Lens Test w/ Bryan McMenomey
I picked up a few new prime lenses this week. So Bryan and I set out to get some sample footage to see the quality difference. This was something I put together real quick inspired by Jake Davis and his Test Shots.
Oh yeah, make sure to watch it in HD.

Pinkberry
I’m dubbing it MANTACULAR! Ro always gets the Mango flavor, she says it’s the best. I mix it up between Mango and Pomegranate. It’s almost like a creamy version of sweet tarts. What’s your favorite flavor(s)?

Who The F*#@ Is Fur Face Boy?!
I’m kidding, of course you know who he is! I always tell him he’s my hero. No, not because he has some cool t-shirt brand or because he owns a pair of Yeezy’s. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever even bought a single one of his shirts. I like Ha because he had the balls to go against the grain to do what he loves. It’s inspiring. One of these days I’m...

Built To Last
Sometimes I randomly go through old hard drives and find pictures that I’ve taken and was too lazy to edit. It’s fun, sort of like finding an old box of pictures and feeling the exact emotions you felt while actually being in that moment. Time flies, it’s here and then gone. Build memories that last a lifetime, venture out and conquer the unknown.

Direction
Lately, I’ve been trying to find different ways to walk home from the train station. On my way, I’ve walked by this wall countless times and finally decided to shoot it. It gives me a sense of comfort. I know that sounds a little bit off but I think it’s a hidden message.
There’s so many roads that lead to so many different paths. It’s hard not to be afraid of...

Puppy Paaarty
As you can see, things started off rough for our leetle one. But he held on strong and showed off his brains and turned out to be the life of this party. What a hell of a son we’ve got! We’re proud of him and plan to let him throw a puppy party again here soon. Don’t miss out!

FL1 x WINWEL
This is a video we shot up in the mountains of colorful Colorado. It was a really memorable experience. I’m very grateful to know both Michael Asante of FL1 and Thomas Welch of WINWEL. Each of them are working very hard to get our their dreams. I’m glad I had the opportunity to provide this visual for them. They’ve got some really neat things cooking and coming your way.

WINWEL - Raton Pass, New Mexico
Finishing up a collaborative project between both Thomas Welch (WINWEL) and Michael Asante (FL1). This was shot up in the mountains of Raton Pass in New Mexico. It was probably one of the most beautiful road trips I’ve ever been on. I want to drive to Colorado more often. Maybe we’ll hit Aspen or Vail next!

Vintage Flea Market - New York, New York
Ro and I really like going to flea markets and vintage shops. This was one that a random friend told us about off of 25th St in Manhattan. There’s really nothing like flea markets in NY, you run into the craziest shit! I always find myself asking, “Who the hell owned this kind of stuff?!”

Lakeland Hills Skate Park - Dallas, Tx
I took this shot one afternoon while scouting for locations for our next video shoot. I told Jay to prove to me that he could really skate and I’m not even going to front, he threw down some pretty dope tricks. I was thoroughly impressed. (He’s still gay though!) ;)

I’ve been on hiatus from the blog game for a bit now, but I’m ready to get back into it and strong! A lot of you don’t know this, buuuuuut, I’ve been working on a side project for some time now. I’ve gone back and forth, up and down. At times, it’s been good and bad. But honestly, it’s been worth the wait.
I’ve always wanted to put something out...

Diana Elizeth Romero Castellano De Dubon
This is my best friend; my world; my rock; my love; my joy; my peace; my comfort! I don’t think I could have asked God for anyone greater. She’s strong! I mean, she’s had to put up with me for 25 years. If you know me, you know what I mean. I’ve had a lot of people tell me they love me in my life. But she…she shows me! Everyday, and without condition. She has loved...

It’s my first ever music video. Thankful to those guys for giving me the opportunity to do this for them. Feel free to share it with your friends and on your own blogs. Thanks...

Mishka - Brooklyn, NY
Mishka is probably one of the most creative shops I’ve ever stepped into. They’re just so unique in their difference. I hope that made sense, ha. But seriously, something about the weirdness just draws you in. I like it…a lot! Check it out if you’re ever in the Brooklyn area, it’s a must. Oh yeah, shout out to the guys at the shop for being welcoming. See you all...

Metropolitan Museum Of Art - New York City, NY
I got the chance to see one of the most amazing art exhibitions while walking through The Met. I’ve never felt that inspired or been that struck by the ability of another persons art or creativity. It may sound really “cliche”, but it really was life changing. A lot of artist think they do things outside the box, but there have been few where the box never even existed....

Rainbow City - New York City, NY
Friends With You has an awesooome new installation here in New York City, located over by the latest phase of the “High Line”. Easily, one of the neatest installations I’ve seen them put together. My second favorite, is one they did in Miami on some beach a few years ago. If you’re in NYC now through August, you’ve got to stop by this. It’s an adults...

EWOK - Brooklyn, NY:
We got to meet EWOK the other day as we were walking back to my friend Lisa’s apartment here in Brooklyn. I didn’t know it was him until I asked him what he went by. I sorta felt dumb after asking because I had known about him but had no idea what he looked like. We actually even carried a few of his vinyl art toys at ATAMA when we first opened back in November. Ha! You never know...

Mavs Beat The Heat (NBA FINALS GAME 2)
This was seriously an incredible come back win. To watch it in an arena filled with fans was one of the coolest feelings ever. I really think the Mavs made a statement with this win. I’m not saying its going to be easy, but they proved they’re in the Finals for a reason. LET’S GO MAVS!!!

Welcome back to.........Texas?!
I’ve wanted to take this picture for several months now. It’s not the exact angle I wanted, there was a semi-truck in the way of the shot I imagined. I had to somewhat crouch under it to even get this half decent shot. Also, he’s supposed to be in shorts but it was a little too cold for that. Enjoy the snow while it last people!
