Always loved shooting in San Pedro. This is one of my favorite spots that over looks the port and the Vincent Thomas Bridge.

Just came across an Argentine Photographer Irina Werning.

Thought this was a brilliant idea and executed so well. I only wish I had thought of it first ;)

http://irinawerning.com/bttf2/back-to-the-future-2-2011/

Also really liked her dog ones. I've seen a lot of similar type projects, but again she did it really well and the dog clearly has a huge personality.

Scott Weiland @ The Observatory

This Scott Weiland show by far goes down as the worst show of 2011, and possibly of all time. (And I've been to a LOT of shows over the years!) The almost 3 hours late aside, his performance and vocals were truly appalling; I've enjoyed listening to ally cats fight more. I'll admit that I was fed up from waiting and basically snapped what I needed and got the hell out of there. But those first few songs alone added up to the worst show of all time for me, so I don't even want to image how much worse it got. I still cringe when I think about it. Ick!

I have to say that I pitch to shoot Weird Al for nostagia and because I thought it would be funny, but it was actually really fun. This might also be because it was one of the few shows I got to bring a friend with me. Thanks Harmony Gerber for making it such a fun night!

Black Lips with Bleached @ the Galaxy Theater (now the Observatory)

I've seen and photographed the Black Lips on several different occasions, mostly at festival I guess, and I've heard lots of talk of the crazy antics they're known to do on stage, but this was the first night that I feel I really got the whole show. Everything from making out with 50 or so teenage girls who jumped on stage, to making out with each other, to spitting everywhere and then some. Ha, thank god I was able to take refuge sitting on the side front of the stage to shoot from. That seat all coincidently got me a front row seat to the frenzy of horny teens one of whom slipped a condom with her # on it into the back of one of their pockets. (haha)

One of the many teenage girls who jumped on stage to kiss the band

This was the first night in a sting of many where a girl from the audience threw her bra on stage. Is this a new trend Orange County teenage sluts?!

Pixies @ the Music Box

Had the great pleasure of seeing and shooting the Pixies! This was definitely one of the top 5 shows I've ever seen. It was made even better by the fact that this particular show was a secret show just for fans and felt a little more casual, like they were there just for all of us. Everyone in there was just ecstatic!

New York!!!!

Finally made it out to New York this year. I got a teaser of NY in July when I was flying home from Europe, but it was great to finally get an outside look. Was working for the Palm Springs Photo Festival helping to run the Portfolio Review program at Photo Plus. Man, was that a whirlwind, crazy few days complete with a mini blizzard snow storm. After working we had a few days off to explore and check out NY. I stayed in the Bushwick neighborhood in Brooklyn but still spent a little more time in the city. Three days is just not enough to see New York.

9/11 Memorial and Candlelight Vigil

It's unbelievable to think that its 10 years since the 9/11 attacks. I was a freshman in high school and was apparently the only one who hadn't heard about it before I got to school. I walked into my homeroom and could immediately tell something was wrong. I asked my teacher what happened and he very kindly sat me down and explained. After the War started, some friends and I often got together to discuss politics and social issues and ended up starting a Social Activism club. We never actually accomplished anything, but it was a nice place where we could talk openly about what we thought, and so few of our peers even paid attention too. We did at least get a lively debate going in the cafeteria once which at 15 seems like a miracle. Now, 10 years later what have we done? How many people have died? And what was it Really all for?

We've been at war for 10 years, a decade! When will it end? And did we ever learn anything?

Adele @ the Palladium

Wanda Jackson opened the show but unfortunately I was shooting from the back of the venue and the light was really dim and I wasn't able to get anything good of her. What a shame that the amazing Wanda Jackson was playing and they put no light on her and treated her like she was some crappy opener. I thought it was rude. But, Adele's performance was incredible. She's almost better in person than her album. Plus she's quite funny.

Willie Nelson @ the House of Blues Anaheim

Had the amazing opportunity to shoot and see Willie Nelson. It was really cool to be so close to such a legend. Haha, I think my hands were even a little shaky.

Brought in 2011 at Knott's Berry Farm with the band the classic 1980's band Berlin. Even though it was freezing cold (for us Cali natives 35-40 degrees is freezing!) it was really fun to hang out and see Berlin at Knott's. Plus, as an added bonus, they park wasn't too packed and we had really short lines for all the rides :)

Ok, I'll admit it, I'm terrible at posting my blog. I always intend to, and then get busy and forget about it. So not it's time to back track from the last year and see what I've been up to. Didn't seem like I had shot so much until I decided to go through it all at once. Man, that took some time! Here is it, my year in photos...
