Day 365: Me, Myself and I



So here I am... its day 365! I started the year wondering if I could take one photo with my point and shoot for one whole year without skipping a day. I did. Mission accomplished! There were some few times when I almost forgot to take a photo, but I managed to find something. Some were good and some were lame. I didnt know how things would come out because I usually dont take a photo everyday. Sometimes I just want to sit and relax and just be normal. 2010 was a little weird. I had my ups and I had my downs. I surrounded myself with walls and I easily dropped them down. The year is ending and my mind continues to wonder about things... why? when? WHY? I try not to stress myself out much about certain things, but I am human. One thing that I have learned about myself is that I am always there for anyone. So you ever need help... then let me know and I will do my best to help you out. I dont expect anything in return. My goal for 2011 is to travel more and I got the perfect gift this Christmas... a traveling bag! I will make sure I use it where ever I go. This will be my last post as the year has come to an end. Last year I stayed home and today I will do the same. So thanks for checking out my blog and hopefully I can come up with something for next year. Stay safe out there and Happy New Years. Goodbye 2010

Well what can I say... I will be finishing my 365 year project in five days. Ive had ups and downs. Right now I the only thing in my head is how much I have enjoyed the last three days with a friend.

Day 348: Ejército Méxicano



Ill admit.. this is kind of a boring shot. I didnt get what I wanted, but its interesting how heavy they are armed. This guy was cool and let me take a photo of him. I think... not sure... that he is from the Army. Mexican of course. I headed to Mexico to cover the President of Mexico and the bridge opening of Donna-Rio Bravo International Bridge. It was interesting. Luckily I had my nice camera compared to what the other media had. I got some good photos.

Day 347: Lights



So I was originally going to put a photo of Gin Blossoms, but I thought it was kind of boring and I would rather have something artsy.. right? mehh The concert was awesome. Ive always wanted to attend small private concerts that are acoustics. Well I had my chance and it was great. The best part... I was sitting right in front. I think I had the best seat in the house haha. Hopefully I can attend/shoot more concerts like the Gin Blossoms.

Oh one more thing... Happy Birthday Taylor Swift =)
