That moment, where you catch that "Kodak Moment", this is it! This was an interesting shot, I saw a couple of guys doing tricks on a skateboard. I thought to myself, "I want to shoot that." And I did. I just wish I had a wider lens for this. 'Til this day, I want to take photos of someone riding and doing a tre-flip or in general, just tricks.

If you look at the photos I've shot before this, they didn't land anything. But that wouldn't cross your mind. If you're a skater, that's a different story. To me, this was special. To shoot this is like once in a lifetime. I've seen skating photos, but not like this

You can never judge people by their cover. With every mindset, there's judged individual. This is me. I'm wearing a bandana with the name of my favorite band member, Charlie Scene, from the band, Hollywood Undead. I got this bandana from their concert on May 18th, 2016.

For this photo, I used a cord that would link from my camera's hot shoe to another hot shoe so I can place a flash on the hot shoe on the cord. And then, I had to stand the flash somehow, so I used a light stand to hold the flash in place.

Overall, the shoot was amazing! Since I had the L.A. Dodgers hat, sunglasses, and the bandana, it was fantastic.

Music is a big part of my photography. Most of the population is into a specific genre of music. Me, I'm into metal. This is a self-portrait, i tried to get a photo where I look like I'm screaming into the microphone. With this photo, I used a flash light to light my face as well as the microphone.

When I listen to music I usually play Breaking Benjamin, Pierce The Veil, Falling In Reverse and so many others. These songs from the bands motivate the context of my photos. With each song I listen to, there's a meaning to it.

I was considering of doing a photo series with one the songs meanings, and turn it in to a photo shoot.

I occasionally shoot film, but now I have a Yashica Electro 35 GSN. A rangefinder from the late 70's, from what I've heard, has a fantastic light meter. With that being said, a great camera! I haven't shot film with this camera yet. The battery for this camera isn't made anymore. It originally was made with mercury in the battery.

This camera is a great for its light meter, parallax adjustment, and structure. What I've looked up from YouTube was that it as a terrible camera. But, there was one video about the camera that it's a great camera overall. Once I try it out, it will determine if I like it or not. Overall this should be a great camera to use.
