San Fran Pt. 1

This week I went out to San Francisco for the weekend and then some. I went specifically to attend a workshop given by two amazing photographers who are an inspiration to me and my work. If I am able to get even close to the skill level of these two that would be amazing. The two photogs are Gene Higa and Jose Villa.

I had a few days to bum around San Fran and see some of the sights and chill with some of my homies doing it big out on the West Coast. I stayed with my boy Dj Debo and we had a blast. We went out one day to get some In and Out Burger, see the Golden Gate Bridge, and see the ocean. We came back to his dog Dodge who had devowerd a whole box of Nerds, a half a box of Gobstoppers, and a whole thing of Sour Straws. I get the Sour Straws and the Nerds, but how the heck does a Dog eat Gobstoppers?? Here is part one of my San Fran trip:

James the Kidzilla

James is awesome. I shot him at a rock star event that I was the photographer for and he was kinda mellow until he got on stage to rock out. He jumped up and his hair was everywhere. I was jealous. Well... kinda. I don't think I could pull off hair that long.

We went out and shot at Frame Park in Waukesha, WI, which had a lot of really cool things around to shoot on and in. We ran around for about an hour and made some amazing photographs. He was open to do whatever, which generally ends up being a recipe for great shots. Once someone can get past their inhibitions in front of the camera, it makes the photo process so much easier and generally better. Here are a few of the photos we made:
