I pretty much wear the same pair of shoes until they wear out before I buy a new pair. The most shoes I’ve ever owned at one time is 3, so you can definitely assume that I’m not much of a shoe person. Daniel Reese has made me want to be a shoe guy, because his custom designs are absolutely awesome. I mean who can resist the Pac Man Shoes, and with my birthday coming up, I definitely want these.

Joanna and Mynor were definitely the most interesting couple to photograph. When we first met at the ranch, they told us that they were camera shy, but soon all of that went away. For two people who proclaim to be camera shy, they didn’t need much direction in posing. What you see in the photos was completely them, which made our jobs a lot easier. And can you believe Joanna was sick that day? I definitely had a great time at the ranch, and the location really matched their outfits.

Dayna Nicole is a Fashion Blogger, and her site is ‘A Motley Shrew‘. When I noticed that the earrings on one of her pictures looked very similar to the Rhinestone Leaf Earring that Pixics was selling, I just had to include that in my own blog. Doesn’t it look great on her, especially with that outfit? I always get excited when I see pictures of people wearing our stuff, it lets us know that we are doing something right. Unfortunately that leaf earring is sold out, but if we get requests, then I will definitely purchase more.

I find some of the most interesting things just browsing online. This was definitely a random find, but I found this documentary about a Korean American Street Artist David Choe. The guy is definitely a tortured soul, but it’s what gives him the inspiration for his art. In a weird way, this movie inspires me to reach my dreams. Go check it out, it’s a full length feature film.

Dirty Hands: The Art and Crimes of David Choe

I stumbled upon a cool blog which simply states that it’s about beauty, fashion, and entertainment. It’s called Fleur Luxe and the author, Kimberly Espinoza, provides a wealth of knowledge for those of us who are fashion dumb dumbs. From the very first page, she gives us tips on shoe size, provides the 411 on the Sigma Travel Brushes, and introduces us to new music. All the articles goes into great detail, and they’re even accompanied by diagrams. I wouldn’t be surprised if she turned her blog into a beauty and fashion textbook. Also, just like Pixics, she’s holding giveaways on her site as well. If anything, that should be enough reason to follow her, unless you hate free.

Maybe I just get really easily impressed, but seeing a real functioning, street legal Batmobile is like a geek dream come true. Apparently this is a turbine powered model, which takes it’s engine from a decommissioned military helicopter. The reasoning behind this was to get a real authentic sound, the same as in the 1989 movie. I haven’t watched the original Batman film in a long time so my memory is a little fuzzy on the details. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the most expensive car in the world, because why wouldn’t it be. It really is the only one of it’s kind. And if you finished watching the video, I could just imagine the peoples faces when they saw the Batmobile rolling down the street. Priceless.

I’m a big fan of mixing real photos and doing extensive retouching to create surreal works of art. I believe last year I wrote a little article about how that’s the new form of photography these days. Well Erik Johansson really is my new inspiration. I feel like I’m pretty good at Photoshop, but this guy is on a whole new level compared to me. He must be using some other kinds of tools I’m completely unaware of. Well I do know that the new version Photoshop does have 3D features, so he must be mixing that. The thing is that when you look at something and say to yourself that there’s no way you could do that, then that’s true ART. Enjoy the rest of his works.

Ashley is originally from San Diego, and when she asked us to do a family photo shoot it looks like we were going to do a little road trip. We had scheduled to meet up at Balboa Park in the afternoon which gave us time to really look around and prepare. I’ve never been to Balboa, but it was huge and very crowded. Crowded locations always creates a challenge for photographers, but luckily we found a few secluded areas.

I found this interesting video that shows Barack Obama rapping. It is very cheesy and the guy doing the impression looks more like Tiger Woods than Barack Obama. Anyways it’s mildly humorous, so enjoy it.

Thanks Silvia Pebble of Beauty and Aikido for the awesome review. I have to admit, the shirt looked awful on the model we used, but she really made it look great.
