The Morning Of...

Well the show was incredible to say the least. I had the pleasure of seeing The Morning Of perform with The Secret Handshake a few months ago. It was some show to see and they were all very nice. So needless to say, when they came back down, we all remembered each other and partied. I had my roommates camera for the beginning of the night. It was actually kind of fun using a fisheye lens.

Here are a mix from my camera and the roommates, sorry for so many pictures, I don't know how to do a jump on these blogs.

Beer, Beer, Beer...

Its kind of outrageous lately, if you call or texted me in the last few days, I probably responded with "I'm at Roosevelt's" or "I'm out right now". The truth be told, I was a ghost last week for many reasons. Some being just an overwhelming amount of work that I have to sit down and sort through. The others being that the bar is finally open and much how I support Nowhere Clothing, I support this bar 100%. Saturday night the bar had a private party for the Class of 99 from Memorial High School. I found that to be strange in a way, considering that I know some of these people! The drinks were flowing and the food was amazing....Sunday night, the bar had FREE BBQ and DOLLAR beer for anyone that came over. What was nice was that just a few of our close friends came by and we all had a great time with some interesting conversations.

I took some pictures both nights...
MARK doing DAS BOOT!









ANOTHER reason I have been preoccupied is from a new friend I made and been hanging out with lately. If I can convince her to let me take a picture of her, I might have a really cool shoot to put up Aberazzi soon.

BUT I CAN GUARANTEE that this week will have a post every day till Sunday with pictures. I have something to shoot just about everyday and I am very excited about all of it.

If you want to come out on Aberazzi or just hang out, I'll be here tonight!

End of the Week...

So the week is just about over and I have only posted once! Wow, sorry to everyone that comes to Aberazzi on a Daily basis. I have been overwhelmed with work for some private clients and just have not had a lot of time to be on the web. Most of the work that I have been doing lately is for corporate clients with social gathering and events. Which means there is really nothing to post on Aberazzi, other than maybe a boring picture of what could be your parents. Earlier this week I had a shoot with a girl named Aissa and we worked on some shots here at the studio and then out at Roosevelt's at 7. She was actually one of the first people to ask me for pictures with out strobes, it was a nice change. I use to only do my photography without any special lighting. I would just use my camera and the sunlight or available light at the time.

I haven't even really had time to work on many of her pictures, but here's one from Roosevelt's.

It was a Splash...

HAHAHA ok so lets get the record straight....I am in no way, shape or form gay. I'm a straight as straight guys get. That being said, I am also very comfortable with my sexuality and not homophobic. I just don't like being confused as one, I like girls! I was hired to do the photography at an All White Party for Splash weekend at Louie's Backyard and it was hilarious. There were probably over 1500 people there. Some of them in some crazy costumes, other didn't dress up at all. I even ran into a friend of mine that was there for her friends bachelorette party.

here are a few shots from the party...
all of them are actually going on the splash site.

Paul and Rishi, before we went out.

Age and Alyssa being wild...

Pretty sure they won best dressed couple.

The crowd, it was bigger than this, but spread up and down stairs..

This girl was gorgeous, and had a dope tattoo

before you guys get excited, these girls are dudes, haha...

Art Walk, Fashion, Splash...

WOW so its been since Thursday that I posted anything on the web. I wish I could give you a reason other than I've just been so busy. I spent Thursday in Harlingen with a friend of mine, and with my family for my mothers birthday. Then I had to work all day Friday taking pictures at a middle school for Valley Photo. Then I had to race over to my interview at a part time job that I thought I would get to help pass my time even more. After my interview I had the "art walk" with Monikapolitan and Roosevelt's at 7. I didn't have my camera on me that much for the art walk since I had been working all day taking pictures. So if any of ya'll know me, you'd know that I really can't stand around not taking pictures, so I grabbed Monika's camera and went crazy taking pictures with her new camera.

Art Walk....




Roosevelt's...




Saturday was eventful, it started with Palm Festival...




there was a fashion show at Palm Festival...



AND well there was SPLASH...but that will be posted tomorrow. I haven't had time to even put those on my laptop yet. I was on my way home from the island with Rishi today and saw this insane accident. A small black car was going around 80mph and lost control, sliding sideways. It ended up hitting the barracade wall at full speed, head on and flying in the air. So we pulled over and called the police, as we watched from across the street the people just walked out of the car and were totally fine, talk about a mircale.

Rolling in a Maserati

Well at least for a little bit, I felt how the other half lives. I woke up from taking a nap today hearing the door bell ringing. It was our buddy Rishi at the door, telling me that he had brought a car over for us to check out. So I waited for Zar and Geo to get home and when I went outside to see a beautiful red 2008 Maserati GranTurismo S sitting in front of our house. Rishi was kind enough to have brought one over from his friends car lot to let us check out and test drive. The ride in this car is solid, its much like a Cadillac when driving in automatic. When you ride in this car its not nessecarly the horsepower or anything that makes you feel amazed. Its, well, the best way I can compare it to, is when you put on those favorite pair of Diesel jeans and just love the way they fit and look but at the same time everyone you run into knows that those jeans cost a pretty penny and are pretty sexy looking. Thats how it is walking up to this car and cruising around the hot spots in town. I was not able to go with them on the test drive during the day, due to a shoot that I had at Havanna Club. However, later on in the night we met up with Rishi at Jackson's Bar for a drink and on the way home is went I recieved the Italian, Maserati expierence. This car is just a simple daily driver, that is till you put it in its manual mode. The car is a serious machine when driven to its capability on the road. I have never been in something that accelarates so smoothly.

It looks pretty nice in front of our house...

Espana

So the night of Flyleaf, we all went out to Espana for some drinks with Issac and a few of our friends. I had been meaning to put some of these pictures up from the night but I got a little busy with some other work. Everything is kind of getting crazy right now.

The night was incredible, starting with a few drinks with a small group of friends, then spreading to some more friends, then growing to a large group. The group was then introduced to Valente Rodriquez, which most people know as "Ernie" from "The George Lopez Show". It was a night filled with laughs and drinks.





It actually got kind of late, so we moved the party to Issac's House...
