Making Waves

Last weekend I photograph some of the kids for Making Wave. http://www.making-waves.org/. They had a bonfire to celebrate that all their kids are graduating this semester. Tose are some of the portraits I took. I think it is hilarious that some of the kids were so cold they could not put their blankets down when posing for the picture.

HOODS Recreational Group - skate club

Recently I photographed the Skate Club from Hoods Recreational Club. This is an awesome Organization founded by Antony Carranza that teaches out risk kids from SF some non conventional sports. Three years ago they started taking kids to Tahoe and teaching them snowboarding. This year they started a skate club sponcered by Zoo York, http://www.zooyork.com/blog/tenderloin-skate-club/

Dia de los Muertos SF

This Mexican holiday is celebrated in San Francisco every year on November 2nd. It's becoming more popular with time. I really dig all the costumes and skeleton make up. Since is the day of the dead, I need to holla at my lost peeps out there, mostly mom and Pedro. You will always be in my heart.

Winter

It's getting cold in San Francisco. I feel the winter arriving and now I'm starting to miss the winter in Rio. Mostly my little friend Pedro.

 

Cristal Films

While I was in Rio Last month, I worked on a movie. I did the still photos for "Vida Privada" By Cristal Films. It was a long day. We shot 8 hrs at the beach and the other 6 hrs at a bar. Luckily it was a 70' winter, not to hot. Perfect weather for shooting outside at the tropics. 

Montevideo, Uruguay

     I was so tired on my first day in Montevideo. After a 22hr flight from San Francisco I had 5 double espressos with milk (or 5 doble cortados)  to keep awake for the day. People drink a lot of coffee there.      Before this trip, I have never traveled in South America besides Brazil. I traveled a lot through Brazil, but nothing is like going to a new place.
