Simply Family

Family time is always fun and interesting. We took the crew up to Mattitos to grab some dinner and I had fun snapping pictures of the gang. We then were surprised with an event that was going on in the square, Parachuting Santa was coming to town.

Nasty Revival consists of three Dallas based rock and rollers presenting their take on hip-hop. At the epicenter of their focus is the importance playing the musical instruments live and infusing this sort of raw energy in the studio recordings. Hip-hop acts that can reproduce their sound live without relying strictly on a computer are all too scarce these days.
Branded as “hip-hop fusion”, Nasty Revival’s original compositions crossbreed hip-hop with a wide range of other genres. While each member of Nasty Revival has his own unique musical history, they have collectively formed a trio with a fundamentally basic mission: to reignite resonating passion and energy in hip-hop that is only possible by using live reproduction of instrumentation. Follow them on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/#!/NastyRevival or at

Pancho D from Nasty Revival invited me to come out to the CD release party on December 17th at Muddy Waters in Dallas. Pancho D jammed out on bass, Col'B on Vox while eMKay-47 played the keyboard and lead guitar. I played a lot with color and light with their photos to go with the genre of the band. Hope you enjoy!

Movember Madness

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo’s, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. Once registered at www.movember.com, men start Movember 1st clean shaven. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health. At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember. http://us.movember.com/about/ 

I was invited to this festive party and took that opportunity to strengthen my photography skills. Below are a few pictures of the event. Please visit their website if you want more information about participating in the next Movember.

Simply Sisters

Sisters are different flowers from the same garden. Micaela and Leah have been thick as thieves their whole life. Micaela is the oldest by two years and loves to point that out on occasion. Leah, sassy in her own way, is the comedian of the two, together they are friends you would love to have. Growing up with 4 other siblings they have had to share a lot of what they have or what they do with the younger crew, but they take it in stride. Both girls are beautiful, thoughtful, and generous and I am proud to call them mine!
