Move Out 04.01.08

25 Crestline, Nagoos pad, Manor Stone. What ever you wanted to call it, it was just a nice place to be. Such a relaxing haven for the 8-5er's, myself included. A hidden gem really...probably the most legit living arrangement I ever had in Irvine. Tikko unfortunately had to move as well. More on that later...

Here are some pics of the homies on this momentous occasion, big shoutouts to Quest, Chaos, NOOE and my brothers of Chill Factor Crew for coming out.

Good bye Irvine, you've been good to me-Thanks for the hospitality.

Filipino American Talent Show: Cypress College- 04.06.08

When I was asked to come shoot this show, I had no idea what to expect really. What was to come honestly blew me away. I think I got a glimpse of the future of Asian American talent, no joke. Some of these kids, barely in college, definitely knew how to hold it down! Some of the names include Mike Isberto and AJ Raphael, I'm sure you'll see them or hear bout them in a short time, sick!!

For images of the rest of the show, click me.

Kappa Zeta Phi Formals- 04.12.08

The lovely girls of Kappa Zeta Phi invited us back for the Installation of their new class once again. Me and Tigran cruised up to the Westin LAX, a place that brought back some fond memories. Here are some behind the scenes!

Overall, another great event with some great ladies!

Four Twenty- 04.20.08

A brisk Sunday afternoon in Irvine on such a day only means you'll get to enjoy some great company and partake in some interesting dialogue. I just happened to end up with our friends from Riot 5 and Pic Member over at Germainder, with Ray Ricafort in the mix as well. Ray is leaving for New Zealand in June, going to be a part of a show on PBS, documenting his travels with other strangers. Wish I could tag along shiet...haha.

On the way out, low and behold I run into Mr. Lawrence Kao of Kaba Modern and Kyle Dineen of Kallusive Clothing, what up nuckas!

Elm Boogie Photoshoot- 04.26.08

I've been wanting to do a session with Elm Pizarro for quite some time. He is the CEO, Founder and Brain child of the internationally recognized dance community website, Boogiezone.com. We were more than excited to work with Elm again, aside from doing smaller projects for him in the past, it was nice to have a day to relax, catch up and shoot some marketing material for him and the organization. Elm has helped create what the dance scene has turned into now with shows such as Americas Best Dance Crew and So You Think You Can Dance. He is a kid at heart, wise in thought.
