The Beginning...

The image that started it all for me.


Old School

I recently went through one of my hard drives in search for some images for my web site. While searching I found some images from 2006. In 2006 my high school made it pretty far in playoffs. So far in fact, that they played a few games in ARCO arena and I was there to capture the experience.

Borra Vineyards

Borra Vineyards is a small winery out of Lodi, CA. They produce some really good red wines as well as a few whites and what they call fusion wines. Fusion wines are when they take multiple wines and combine them to create a new one, think of it like a wine suiceide but instead of soda, wine.

I've had the pleasure of getting to know Markus at Borra Vineyards since I graduated from Brooks this past June. He has taught me a lot about wine and being that my family once upon a time grew grapes and has always been in the agriculture business I am naturally curious about it.

Recently, Borra Vineyards hired me to do a basic product photo shoot of there bottles on a simple white background. Their labels are very unique my favorite wine of theirs is their Barbera. It's a red wine that to me is similar to a cabernet to me because it taste good and its not over powering like some merlots can be.

The bottle below is a syrah wine, another one of my favorites.





I am a firm believer is supporting locally grown products, especially with living in California and being in a family that are farmers.

Family Photo Restoration

I hope everyone had a Happy Holidays. One thing that I really like about the holidays is getting everyone together to hang out and enjoy time with one another to eat, give thanks, watch football and just have a good time. As I have done in a few of my prior post I am starting on restoring some of my old family photos for my grandma and mom, it's something I take great pride in doing

It's pretty interesting to me to see old family photos, especially ones that are of people that you may never have met before because they may have passed away before you where born or just live on the other side of the world. The later of the two is the case with me and this image. The short little girl in this image is my mom and the lady in the white in the back is my grandmother. Those are the only two in this image that I have met before. The two men in the image are my grandmothers brothers and they live in Oaklahoma and Michigan respectfully. I'm not sure exactly who the other two women are in this image but I could probably assume one was my great grandmother. If I have met them, I was in diapers and thus dont remember. I'm also intrigued on the location selection chosen for this photo to be taken: in a corner near a piano.
