Got a chance to kick it with my @illroots homies last night for the party release for iLLAMERICA.. I did a few quick booth shots with my x100 and they came out pretty decent. Check out the new clothing line iLLAMERICA now!!!
PS: im in the first pic on the left for the folks who have no clue what i look like =)
Got the chance to do a collaboration with my good friend Elise Swopes who is by far the most famous instagramer i know with over 35k followers… I always loved the way she implemented her graphic design into her instagram shots. The end results came out great! Check her out on instagram

1. A great camera will NOT make a great photograph unless it’s operated by a great photographer.
2. Beginners are absolutely capable of making great photographs if they have passion.
3. Read your camera manual – several times. The answers to most of your early questions are in there.
4. Take pictures of things that you know or care about.
5. Don’t try to learn everything all at once. You don’t have to become an expert photographer, post-processor and printer all in the same week.
6. If you’ve got less than a year under your belt don’t spend too much time fretting over your portfolio. It will change and when you’ve got more experience.
7. Don’t get hung up on things like “workflow.” Spend most of your time looking for light, learning to see and making photographs that matter.
8. Study the work of the true photographic masters. I am talking about people like Margaret Bourke-White, Alfred Stieglitz, Man Ray, Paul Strand, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Edward Weston NOT the cool kids who have lots of “likes” on Facebook or Flickr.
9. Great photographs are as much about feelings as anything else.
10. Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst – so stick with it.

for people that are just getting into photography, what type of camera would you recommend buying?
Umm…. If you’re just trying it out for the first time and you’re not sure if its something you want to do just get an entry level camera to start off. Im a canon shooter so i’d say between the canon t2i or t3i. They arent really expensive (they arent really cheap either) but are great cameras to begin with. For lenses just use the kit lens and a 50mm 1.8 aka the “nifty fifty”. Its only 100 bucks but it has great quality for the price. Hope that helped. |
Sorry about the weird facial expression.. I always look confused front of cameras thats why i rarely take self ports…. but was trying out my new fujifilm x100 and the picture quality and color is ridiculous!! easily rivals my 7D and might even be better. This wasn’t even shot in RAW. Good stuff. cant wait to walk around with this.

p.s. i lost the lens cap within an hour of buying it… smh
