Romel's Headshots

A good friend of mine who is trying to break into the acting industry, needed new headshots done. He's an amazing actor and I'm sure you'll know his name soon enough so here is his face!

San Francisco

Day three of our tour of northern California was the city by the bay.  I have been to San Fran before but it's been almost a decade since I last visited.  There were still plenty of things that I haven't done yet.  The first time I went to San Fran, My family and I did a boat tour around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge but I wanted to actually drive over the Golden Gate.  This was the first thing we did that day.  We drove over to Sausalito to take photos of both the bridge and downtown San Fran. It was a little cloudy that day so wasn't able to see very far.  Then we drove over to Baker Beach for more shots of the orange bridge and see what the beaches are like there.  Next on our list was Coit Tower then Lombard Street.  After we headed over to visit the "Full House" house, which we learned has been repainted and isn't recognizable.  We then attempted China Town but couldn't find parking so we decided to head over to Fisherman's Wharf for dinner.  After dinner, we left San Fran to go to our hotel which was in Oakland.  I looked up where a good spot would be to take a photo of downtown San Fran and the Bridges as the sun was setting.  We found a spot on a mountain just over the Bay Bridge to take some night shots of the bay area.  I think it's safe to say we conquered northern California in three days!  Here are my favorites:

Napa Valley

Last month for my birthday, a friend and I drove up to northern California to visit Napa and San Francisco.  We both took a ton of photos so it has taken me a little while to go through them all.  We spent two days in Napa Valley, touring wineries, tasting different wines and trying to escape the 100 degree weather.  I'm not a huge wine drinker but the experience was still great.  There are over 600 wineries in the greater Napa Valley area and we managed to visit around 20 of them.  The more popular ones that we spent the most time at were:  Robert Mondavi, Sutter Home, Hall, Beringer, Sterling, V. Sattui, Prager, Napa Cellars, Maldonado, Markham, Grgich Hills, Charles Krug, Trinchero and Castello Di Amorosa.  Here are my favorite shots from Napa Valley.

Wayfarer's Chapel

Hellooooooo!  I went shooting a couple of weeks ago in Palos Verdes.  I shot the famous glass church called Wayfarer's Chapel that has been in many shows and movies.  Here are the shots....

LA River

Hello!  I finally got the chance to go to the LA River last week while assisting a photographer.  It has been on my list of things to photograph here in LA.  But when I got there I realized it's more of a LA puddle than river.  It was a very popular place to shoot considering we saw at least 5 other shoots and video shoots going on.  The LA River has been in many films and music videos, the one that comes to mind that is really famous is the Thunder Road scene in Grease.  Here are some very quick shots I took since I was assisting that day, I didn't get a lot of time to shoot for myself.   And I added a fun little shot I did of the sunset while driving to my other job later that day.  Everybody loves a sunset shot!
