When I started my journey into photography a few years ago...January 2008...my main focus was landscapes...but in the back of my head I wanted to shoot everything. I joined the dpreview forum and there I met 2 friends...Joey (Newspaper Man) and Joji (Jose B). We started shooting together in 2008...and I enjoyed it immensely. I got addicted to portraiture.

I like shooting in the studio because of the controlled lighting setup but I like lifestyle shots the most. They look more "real" to me.

Just a collection of my brother Joe's pictures.

These are pictures of my old office in LAUSD...when I was still in a spacious cubicle. A few weeks after these images were taken we were moved to the 9th floor where the permanent employees like myself were given cramped bullpen style desks (we were treated like shit)...and contractors were given the cubicles. Sheesh! I am so glad I am not working for them anymore!
