White S2K | PW Mini TT1 | Thug Story

Well I had a good time doing a quick photo shoot with Angela's White S2k. Since I picked up a new Vagabond 2 I was really itching to test the limits of the battery pack. Here are some snaps I took.



Also here are some outtakes from the shoot. LOL



As you know Pocket Wizards came out with a new set of wireless transmitter. Smaller, faster, and for efficient. It also work well with TTL Flashes! Its called the Mini TT1. Since the release the little thing has been very hard to get. MY order finally came in! My addition to never ending collection of gadgets.

I'll be testing this puppy out some time next week. I can't wait to use hypersync!

Finally, I found this very funny and cool. Taylor Swift is rapping with T-pain. haha..

PbNation | Mod squad | Black & Blue

This weekend I took my little sister out to play paintball with me. This was her first time playing, which was pretty exciting. I was worried that she wouldn't like it because the event is so huge that it would be too much for her. Well I guess I was wrong. She liked it so much we we came back Sunday to play the rest of the event.

This was the annual BFE: Living Legends 2 at CPX in Joliet. This is where all most of the Mods from PbNation.com come and play paintball. I have to say these are some of the coolest people in the world. These are people that have changed the world of paintball. Its always great seeing them.

Anyways here are some photos that i took during the event.

The Mod Squad BFE 2009






















In the end, it was great and I got my awesome cocker back too. Oh how ive missed this marker!

Nike SB | Gates 311 | Prophecy

So my cousin Carlo introduced me to his hobby which is collecting these addicting Nike Dunk SB shoes. As he was showing me the website. A pair of recently released shoes caught my attention. The Nike Dunk Mid SB "Nitraid" Im not sure if its the black and red theme or the digital camo, hell it might be both but they look super hot! The bad news is these shoes are very rare to find and since its been out for a few months now its even harder to pick up. Well with my awesome googling skills i found a place in NY that still had my size.

Meet: Nike Nitraid SB

This is just the beginning... haha. More SB's to come.

Remember Ryan Gates from a few post back? Well here is the sled that he drives. I finished up the photoshoot for an upcoming editorial. Hes a very awesome guy and super cool. He will be racing in Cali this weekend, so good luck!
here is the outtake from the shoot. This was the lighting goods and awesome cars.
For this weekend, I'll be playing paintball with my little sister. This will be her first time and im pretty excited about this. she will be meeting the whole PB Nation group and what a better way to play. Anyways, Empire came out with its new loader system called Prophecy. Its the same size as the Halo system, but light years in technology. Also much lighter & faster.

So a few weeks ago it was my friends wedding Tres & Dan. I didn't shoot the wedding, but I was an Usher. I wanted to have more fun on this wedding so I opt. not to shoot it. Sorry tres..

But that didn't stop me from taking photos with my cell phone. LOL








Also this month I headed out to New York for the weekend for a Car Event. It was me and sonny meeting up with all the Fizz guys for HIN NY.



I didn't take some photos during the drive but I did take some video. haha.





Finally, I met this awesome artist/model/painter. Her name is Ana Paola, shes a very chill and cool person. She really into her painting and hopes to hit big one day. I mean, shes pretty known here already with few galleries showing in Chicago. Also shes been in a few commercial ads like Crate & Barrel.

Ryan Gates | Outtakes | ATT Ev

This past week I had a quick snap of Ryan for an upcoming editorial. I met up with him at his local spot, AMS. This was my first time stopping by the new shop and wow its freaking huge! Here is the shot i took during the quick setup.

Here is some outtakes from the shoot...



For those people that wonder what i work with to shoot some product shots, here is a little behind the scenes...

AB800, Photogenic 320, Pw, Canon 40D, 24-70l, Macro tubes, White Brolly.

the outcome....

On my way to the city this past week I came across this crossover that looked a little odd to me. Not because its ATT or its a Hybrid crossover, but it actually has a socket plug on the passenger side for recharging.

So in the up coming months I will be super busy with photography and bloggin. Last weekend I shot an event down in Rosemont Convention Center. It was the Luxury Living Expo.

This where all the baller people go to check out some expensive goods. Here are some photos from the Expo.











After the Expo was L4P Lux White Party. Again nothing but the best, what was hard to find was matching white top and bottom, but in the end it was dark enough to not noitce my pants are little more cream color then my shirt. LOL All is good.
