Day 181: Hurricane Alex

Here is some rain art... sorry Its not interesting, but rain out there is crazy and I would probably break my camera or dropped it in the rain.

Day 180: Sandbags

Hurricane Alex approaches and Im not getting sandbags... luckily my landlord grabbed sandbags for us so thats awesome. I dont think it will be a strong hurricane, but you never know. Im guessing rain only. Will see what happens.

Day 179: Lines

Had a long wild day. Hurricane Alex is approaching and two arraignments. I almost forgot to pull out my camera today, but here is something haha.

Day 178: Kayaking

Today I had an assignment covering some kayakers in the Rio Grande River. It was AWESOME!!! I love assignments like that. Although I think I lost a few cards. This has been one of the worst weekends, but kayaking was fun so I guess it wasnt that bad. I just have a little sunburn on my shoulders hah. I like this photo.

Day 177: Money

Ive been wanting to take this photo just because Ive been saving money since Jan 1 of this year. I was able to save up $1200 and now... bye bye money... I have to fix Amber's breaks tomorrow and hopefully thats it. I also have to take care of some other business. Im hoping to start saving money once everything is fix and taken care of. Will see. It was nice having you Green.

Day 176: Club 33

Day 175: Nostradamus

Today I learned how one of my co workers cleans her fish bowl. I told her how I once had 2 golf fish that would eat the other fish... and how they had they were huge haha. She didnt believe me, but its true.

Day 174: Skateboarding

I took my intern to shoot wild art. Wild art is anything and everything! Kids at a park, someone painting something cool, people doing something. So while she was shooting some skateboarders, I decided to shoot this. Cool huh. I wish i had a cleaner back ground, but thats just the way it is.

Day 173: Bathroom

Cleaned my apt today... well some of it. The bathroom is clean haha. Here is a view of my sink and the stuff I use.

Day 172: Cat

My day off today and I got a message from some friends. Luckily I recognized the stars and the cat haha. The creepy part is how they got into my complex. My place is like a jail haha. Gates EVERYWHERE!!! Anyhoo they told me how it was done. Sorry you cant read the note... maybe its better that way hah.

Day 171: Father's Day

So today was fathers day... I called my dad and chatted a little. Then so friends and I headed out to the beach... South Padre Island... funny how its called Padre, which means father in english... anyhoo, it was a great day, good food, good eye candy, good time to just relax. I think I got a good tan... maybe a little burned but its all gravy hah. I like this photo because I was laying down getting my back tanned and I see this photo so I decide to take a photo of it... I kind of like it. Simple, yet cool.

Day 170: Downtown

Went out Friday night/ Saturday morning for a friends birthday celebration. We parked on the roof of the parking garage. Awesome view from up there. I like these kid of shots. They just look cool.

Day 169: La Villa Police Department

I had a shoot at the La Villa Police Department today. A man and a mother were charged for killing a two-year old. The mother was crying a lot during her arraignment and the guy was relaxed. I was trying to get a photo of that situation, but I had to get something for the paper... work first haha. So here is the chief getting interviewed by the media. These are always fun assignments.

Day 168: Lady

Slow days = I NEED TO FIND SOMETHING TO SHOOT FOR THIS BLOG!

Day 167: Horse

I had an assignment at an Equestrian Camp today. I started having flashback of Churchill Downs. I need to go back and take some photos... maybe next year? I need to contact some people and maybe I can assist them or I can shoot for someone. We'll see!

Day 166: Resting

Final day for U.S. Lance Cpl. Derek Hernandez who was killed in action in Afghanistan while on patrol. It was a good ceremony both at the church and at the cemetery. Family was very nice. I sent out photos of the funeral to AP and they liked the photos. I think I had some good art with the limited space I was in.

Day 165: Turtle Power

Slow day today... decided to shoot a turtle haha. I was a HUGE fan of the TMNT! I loved waking up in the morning to watch the cartoons and was always ready to watch the movies. I also have their toys, but I wonder where they are at. Maybe Ill bring them with me next time I go home.

Day 164: Returning Home

I covered the return of U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Derek Hernandez who was killed in action in Afghanistan while on patrol. I have covered many events like this. Then I stop and started thinking what town has seen a lot of these military deaths? I sometimes I start to have these thoughts about joining the marines... It just sits there, but dont know if I can follow through.

Day 163: Party Night

Today is my party for my birthday. Its at Alhambra and I hope its an awesome night!

Day 162: Lights On

When I look at this photo the first thing that comes to my mind is Maine! or something thats east coast and near the ocean. I dont know why haha.
