It's out!




Here is my section online!

How cool is that! :D

I Graduated!

Well, that time has come...I graduated Art Center! yessss! WIth a final GPA of 3.7 and the chance to walk with Honors it feels great to be done. I finished up in two and a half years and what a crazy two years it was!

I graduated with a talented group and felt proud to experience graduating and our grad show when them all. Michelle Rubio, Mandy Hayes, Lilac Perez, Jason Woolway, Bettina Chavez, and Lauren Noble, we all came together and put on a great show!

Here are some pictures of my incredible time graduating!

My best friend Adriane. A big thanks to her especially, she helped me throught my entire time at Art Center.


I did it!





I'm excited to be finished and more excited for what's to come! Already getting a few emails for work I cannot wait to get started! Lets do this!

Fun with stop motion!

What better way to warm up your new 5D then to take a bunch of pictures and make it into a stop motion film! Now, this is a first try and this so its extremely rough so bare with me! Check it out!

Last night was such an amazing night! It was the Altpick Awards Gallery down at Bellevarado Studios in Los Angeles. I got to meet some of the other winners and other people in the industry, Corbis and INKY to name a few! I had my own little crowd show up and I have lots of pics to show!

Look how cool the placard was! I wanted to take it, but thought it was good to keep up!

Last night was pretty much an evening I will never forget! Meeting a lot of people and talking about my winning image was just a few of the highlights of last night. I thank everybody at Altpick for choosing my image as first place! It is such an honor to be apart of Altpick and I look forward to what they will do next!
