Quiet on the Set - ACTION

I got to hang out with an old high school friend today that i have not seen in 18 years. Issa also known as Marissa or her real name used in the IMDB database Esperanza Catubig. Every guy had a crush on Issa back in high school or at least I did. She was not only an amazing heart of a person but she was not hard on the eyes either. I got to hang out with her and her boyfriend for a little while ( very cool guy thumbs up ) and then hang out and catch up at a starbucks.

She then invited me on set the next day to see her in action doing make up for an indi movie her friend was filming. There I got to see them making them movie and also talk to the executive producer. Really cool guy showed me his trailer to his new movie coming out call Eve a martial arts type movie that looked really cool.

Issa will be working on a really cool movie coming up and hopefully she will be filming it in SF where I can see her on set again when i go out there to visit my little bro, Tina and there new baby boy Brandon when he is born.

me and Issa at cafe - mental note send her copy of old videos from high school with her on it.

Happy Hour in SF

I did an awesome happy hour with some old friends from back in the day. One of them my boy John O i have not seen for 18 years. We used to be best buds back in high school. How crazy is that. Then i got to see Rob. I really love Rob. One of the first people i met years ago in meetin. One thing about rob that i love you always know where you stand with this guy. There is not an once of fakeness in him. He tells you like it is good or bad. he never tells you one thing in persona then you here something else from another person. Rob is one really great guy. I think i have known him for 5 years and I hope i am having a beer with him in 20 years :-)

Hangin In my Old Hood

So I got to be a tourist again today. For some reason i keep doing this when back in my old hood San Fran California. On Saturday i went to pear 39 to check out the SF Aquarium. This did not exist when i was a kid so had to see what it was all about. it costed $14 bucks and was very fast but i liked it allot. I loved it more for the ability to take great underwater photos. So now I decided i need to make a road trip to Balitmore and check out there Aquarium

Took this walking down sf. I like it its pretty hehe


You got to go visit these guys if you go to pear 39 :-)

Hangin On The Farm

I just spent 4 days camping on the farm I grew up on and boy was it fun. The "land" as we have been calling it since we were kids now has electricity and running water. This is a joy as when we were kids we did not have either. my mom put in a well that pumps water up to a big holder then the pressure makes running water. The best part of this trip was all of my brothers and my sister were present. We also never got into a fight :-) this is hard when you put so many people together in one place for so long lol.

This photo was taken while driving up to the land. there is a 80 miles trek that you drive where there is not one gas station. Its all hills and its so pretty. But if your car breaks down you are out of luck.


When I first got to hayfork I ran into these cows. Oh man you got to love farm life.


We had a bomb fire each night I think I started most of them. Just like our beach camping trips here in the DC area I love to start fires hehe. These fire we did on the land were huge. we had unlimited free wood hehe


The first night we got in we had a huge fire and took this photo with my bros and sister. I love this shot because we had so much fun that night catching up and talking. You have to love family man.


This little horse was in front of the small town store. Pretty cool not sure if it worked hehe


I took my moms ATV this time all of the way up the hill past her land and into national forest. This time i went up so fare I got to a fire look out road with in the national forest. I then drove on it about 5 miles way into the back woods. my moms land ends at national forest and that goes on and on forever. There is no end to it. I ran into some awesome creeks and hunting posts. it was cool.


I took this in the back woods way way back in the woods hehe

The New Brandon

So found out today my little bro is having a baby boy. He has also named him Brandon. I can not believe someone in our family is finally having a kid. Out of 4 of us no one has done it yet. So she is 6 months along i think now meaning i am going to be an uncle in 3 months. Wow crazy to think about. But I am super excited to be one. I know my mom and dad are like going crazy. They have been trying to get a grand kid for years now. Cool stuff.

Also its funny I got a really good friend named Brandon so the name already rings good with me. Now there will be B-Dog and B-Lil-Dog :-) aka B-Little-Dog :-)

I love Black and White Photos

So a a friend of mine Tine who I have known for about 7 years way before meetin days got some photos taken of her. I have to admit I love these photos and wish i had a studio like this one used to take photos this cool. Photos are one of my biggest passions. I really love black and white. I love the black and white photos. For some reason with a black and white photo I feel by looking into the subjects eyes I can look into there soul.

Me, Tina and Ming ( i took this with my other hand )


Here are the photos i really like

this black and white is the best by fare


some others that are good but not as good as the black and white one in my view.






this one is not the same artist just her doing a show.
