Cindy's Birthday @ Escalante's!

I haven't been out of the house for awhile... approximately the time since I've been back from Vegas lol... and I was invited to CindyK's bday. It was a fun evening with old friends and new friends, even though I didn't really get their names lol. We ate at Escalante's, a mexican grill in the first colony town center. I had the salmon with grilled shrimp, rice, and the side salad. Everyone else had Fajitas.
Afterwards, we wanted to go to Loggia's, but there was a $5 cover so we went to a wine bar instead. We didn't drink wine. We drank beer instead haha. It was a good night to spend with old friends. Enough of my crappy story of the evening and more pictures.

Phi's BMW E60

I had a planned photoshoot with Phi and his E60 yesterday morning at 7a. We were both running kinda late so instead of wasting more time by going to downtown to scout and shoot, I decided to use the parking garage at Town and Country Center. I haven't finished processing the pictures yet but here's a little behind the scenes of the rig shots.

Las Vegas!

It was my first time in Vegas with my brother and a few friends. It was definitely an awesome experience and there will be many more times where I'll be back there.

Here's some pictures from the trip that I took... also I'm trying out a new slideshow flash program. It's pretty simple and easy to use.

Helen Rios!

Harrison had another friend willing to try out some test shots with his studio background set up at my place. This was my first time shooting with a large background with lighting. A few days before the shoot, I had watched Zack Arias' OneLight DVD. Seeing what you can do with one light is definitely awesome and cheap. Now I've gotta learn how to use more than one light next time. Any volunteers?

Here are some of my favorites from the test shots...

2nd Import FaceOff 2009 Houston!

Import Face Off came back to Houston again, actually Baytown, and it was hot as hell. Literally! I didn't really want to go because of the heat, but I didn't want to miss out on a local show. My last minute decision was at 10AM when Ervin texted me to see if I was still in. I didn't really have anything better to do so I headed over to Bernie's house to meet them up. Along the way, we ran into a few hurdles with law enforcement and part failures. Roll in should have been around noon or earlier but we arrived at 12:30p.
I was surprised because as we were rolling in, other people were also, and even later there were more people rolling in. Once I helped my friend cleaned his car up, I started taking a few snap shots of the cars and people around. To sum it all up, it was hot! In my opinion, the show did not have a lot of spectators. There were about 150 +/- 50 or so cars showing and about 50 being show worthy. Enough words from me, here are some pictures...
