Update

This whole summer has been busy as usual, but I can't complain. I miss out on a lot of stuff because I work weekends, but I do make the best of it when I can. I thank God everyday that I'm alive and able to see the days unfold its moments of both happy and sad times. I have a whole bunch of ideas for the future. I need to start writing these things down. I want to start story boarding more on my randomness. I feel like some day they'll come around and I can piece everything together and try to make sense of it. I want to be more consistent.

After months and months of waiting and dealing with websites, I finally got my 5D MKII. This tool will help me illustrate my vision. I've got a lot on my mind, but really don't want to type it all out. I actually would rather talk about it in a real conversation. For the most part, I just want to create. And right now, I've turned to beats, freestyling, and video. Thankfully, I'm in my field of work and have access to the technology.

You can count on seeing more pictures and video soon! Peace.

Coming off a crazy past labor day weekend, the weekend of Sept. 12 wasn't too bad. We only had to drive far, once. It was great to see familiar faces from people we've worked with. A total of 3 couples in the same room! Got to catch up a little bit, see new honeymoon babies, and enjoy each others company. These folks remind me a lot of my people in the bay area so I felt right at home. Enjoy.

Back in the beginning of September, labor day weekend to be exact, Lumitone definitely had a packed weekend. Both teams shot a wedding on Saturday, Sept. 5. Then we had to drive to LA the very next morning to shoot another wedding! It was a crazy journey. Got to bed by midnight fom the first wedding, got up at 3am, then drove to LA. I thought we were gonna die (haha). Nontheless, we got there safely. It was a challenge to capture every beautiful moment the wedding had to offer due to fatigue, but in the end I think we managed pretty well. Enjoy.

Here is the SDE from 2 weeks ago. "Even before we met, I could feel him. On my first day of work, I had to call my mom to tell her that my soulmate was in the room. 2 weeks later I met Simon."--Bride. Enjoy.
