Whilst on my most recent trip to Los Angeles, I got to catch up with old friends from all over the world, attend the Blading Cup , ride hoverboards on the beach, shoot a super short film, and eat amazing but expensive food. After going to Japan a few years back and regretfully didn't bring my camera, I made it a point to always bring my camera out with me where ever I travel. This post is mostly a select few photos I shot on this trip...

"The Audition" - Los Angeles, CA
The Sony A7S II is a hot camera right now and I slept on it when it was first released so it was sold out from everywhere as soon it came out. I got a call from Allens Camera in Allentown, PA that they got it back in stock right before I was leaving for California and saw this as a perfect opportunity to test it out. It was delivered a couple of hours before I got on the plane to LA and was eager to shoot with it...

From The Front Page #4 - New South Wales, Australia
This photo is unique for a number of reasons. First things first, this photo was taken at Jervis Bay in NSW, Australia. This was the first night we set up camp and had no idea what to expect. By showing up after sundown, we really couldn't see much past what the light on our phones could show us and the stars above our heads. We hiked down to the beach and found this cave where we made a camp fire...

#TBT Koery "Sneaky" Waikiki - 180 - Nor Cal
As I recall, before Sneaky was the professional blader for Razors that he is now, he was a little kid that used to tag along skate sessions in the bay area in Cali. While I was there in 2006, Sneaky met up for a few sessions and back then I could see the potential he had. He found this cool roof gap to parking lot that he handled with no problem at all. Dam I need to go back to the bay...

Colorado Road Trip 2015
About 7 or 8 years ago I went on tour for Able Frames around the west coast of America in a van where we didn't really have a solid route and the next stop was always up in the air. Throughout that tour, we stumbled upon the Colorado Road Trip. A weekend of camping and skate parks with people from all over the west coast. Since then, I've always wanted to go back but due to work and lack of funds it was never possible until this year when I finally made it a point to make myself available to join the trip.

#TBT Mike Lilly - Fakie Stale 540 - Phoenix, AZ
This week is a double banger, and who better to feature than Mike Lilly. While I was living in Arizona in 2010, Mike came out to film a 90 second edit for Revolution Skate Shop, and I shot some photos for their website. Mike is one of the best skaters to shoot photos of since everything he does is flawless and full of such unique style...

From The Front Page #1 - San Juan, PR
I am introducing a new category to the blog with stories about the photos I feature in my portfolio and how they were shot. This is called "From The Front Page".
In the beginning of 2014, I took an epic trip to Puerto Rico to escape the winter in NYC. The first week was filled with skating throughout the tropical paradise with 13 or my buddies from all over the world. The second week, my girlfriend flew in and we went on a bunch of adventures together every day. We all over the island together, and this was the week I actually took my camera out with me every day...

#TBT Ivan Narez - Front Torque - Sacramento, CA
In 2006, I was in Nor Cal to do something with Able Frames and to stay with Vinny Minton to film for Hyphy 3. During the week we filmed for Hyphy, Gonzo, Trevor Tylowski, Ivan Narez and myself took a drive up to Sacramento from San Fransisco. On the way there we made a few late night stops, one of them being a little campus that had the most perfect rails, and this huge, steep, high, down ledge that only Ivan wanted to hit...

#TBT Franco Cammayo - Rough X Grind - Washington DC
A few years ago, the boys and I took a trip to Baltimore where we found this school that had this purple wall (Francos favorite color) with a square rail that went right into a fence. Anyone who knows Franco knows that the fence didn't stand a chance against him. So he did this rough X grind a few times for a photo that was never used in anything....until now.

It seems like nowadays between music, technology, fashion, sports, it seems like everything has been done. Its 2015 now, and everyone wants a way to stand out; individuality is of the essence.
A buddy of mine, Justin, runs a sunglasses company out of NorCal. The beauty of the sunglasses though are that they are fully customizable from the style of the frame, to the lenses, to the arms. There are thousands of ways to create your own personal pair of sunnies that no one else in the world will have.
