I have no idea why

But I just had one of the worst, scariest, horrible, embarrassing, realistic dreams ever in my entire life. And I would wake up thinking it really happened. Then go to bed. And dream it and think it was real. Then wake up and worry that it had happened again.. over and over. For three hours. What the hell. I have no idea what brought me to this dream... and I'm shaking almost. I kinda wanna cry.


How is it that something so fabricated can haunt me and scare the fuck out of me like this?

I made good time.. only to be set back 2 hours.

Juan, Jose, and Juan

These guys were so awesome. On my annual Borrego Springs trip, we went to Joshua Tree as we always do. I was walking around the park and saw these guys getting ready to rock climb. I tried as hard as I could to speak in my embarrassing Spanglish. They told me they drove all the way from Mexico and Plan to go all the way to Washington, just rock climbing. Super nice guys.


I knew my drive down was too good to be true. I drove from San Francisco to San Jose and took a quick nap at home. Left San Jose the other day at 11pm and got to LA at 4 am. Slept in a parking lot in Santa Monica and my first shoot went on without a hitch. I met two amazing stylists, and one of my idols- Daria Radlinsky. She's a styling genius! I cant wait to look at her portfolio online.

Finally. I made it down to Palm Springs. I think my film isn't loaded quite right so now I'm trying to justify my next 8 frames. Maybe they'll turn out cool. It's currently 102 degrees. I love it. I wish I could live down here. I just need to go to wallgreens to buy some sunscreen mine is completely dunzo. I have three more portrait sessions here in Indio as well as 29 Palms. Theres also a few hotels I wanted to take photographs of in Twenty nine Palms.

Lets hope this minor set back is the only tiny bump in my trip..

This really shouldn't take this long.

I have been in the labs since 3pm just editing. I feel like the time goes by so slow here. But I've been catching up on all my South Park.

I don't think I've ever had my website be the same for more than eight months. AGAIN. I'm re-arranging, taking everything down and changing the navigation of my site.

I'm starving. I was gonna update something super impressing but I can't remember what...

Clearly

I need to crack down more on updating this thing. I have been so busy. I feel like I haven't had time to rest my feet! And it's summer..
My second to last week of school started with a lovely notice that our apartment building had bed bugs. And we had to pack everything up. Clean every article of clothing, basically move out, and have them spray our apartment 3 times in two week periods. We JUST NOW are putting our life back together. I haven't seen any bugs ever, but one of my roommates found one in her room so we all freaked out (to be honest I couldn't sleep for one night.. I felt all gross and creepy-crawly).

I spent the 6th-12th running around in the desert on John's annual photo trip to Borrego Springs. As always, gorgeous. I left with such great experience, and made some amazing new friends. I felt last year we had more time to hang out. We went to a lot more places this year, and I shot everything in 120. Which means A LOT of scanning.
Funny thing, last year during our desert trip we went to Joshua Tree and while shooting Leah in lingerie and some guy on a motorcycle rode by, turned around, and we all had a field day with our new impromptu model. His name is Jaber and we added eachother on facebook but totally lost touch with him. Before we left I let him know we'd be in the area and he was super down to meet up. He even gave us an amazing recommendation on where to eat in Yucca Valley.
We spent a lot of our down time smoking, hanging out by the hot tub, and taking random photos. We all had an amazing time. It's my 4th trip. And it won't be my last!

I came back to San Francisco with some surprisingly nice weather and reunited with my best friend Ambyr. We celebrated her birthday and went out for some drinks. I always have an amazing time with her.

So now my life will be filled with scanning.. and more scanning... UGHHHHH
