My roommate Ryan came to me needing a portrait of himself to photoshop into another photo for a class. ...or something. I wasn't really paying attention. But to the makeshift home studio we went. Apparently he was going for a news anchor sort of look.

I drove out to Tucson to begin shooting for my thesis project. Jacob, after a full strobe set up and getting through a few rolls of film, came out of his hangover enough to realize I was taking pictures of him. He spent the rest of the day on the couch until the party started again.

When Paul told me that he and a few friends were planning to go on a hike I, with the bmxer mindset that I have, expected to drive to the top of a hill and walk around for a little bit. 7 miles later, I was sore, tired and wishing that Vans shoes had a whole lot more support.

San Francisco

So one of my new year's resolutions was to spend as few weekends at home as possible. First weekend the destination was my buddy Paul Bray's converted warehouse/bike shop/apartment in San Francisco.

"you've got to treat the cars like wild animals, they're more afraid of you then you are of them. ....except for buses, they'll f--king kill you."

I was simply along for the adventure and I had an awesome time. Most of the time was spent weaving through SF traffic on our bikes but the photo I've posted is from a hike we went on. ...definitely wasn't ready for that, but it provided some great shots.

I was hanging out with my friend Riley when we met up with a few of his car loving buddies. One of them, John, decided that he was going to jump his “vietnam green” miata across an intersection. he jumped before i was ready and i missed that shot, but i got this one while we were sitting around in the parking lot after.
