  • Second Cover: Ensenada Seafood and Beer Paradise – Procrastination Station – March Booking, Let’s GO!

    It’s Monday. And like Garfield. I fucking hate Mondays. It’s gloomy out. It’s gloomy in. Though I look gloomy days. Sunset looks really promising. It’s a fucking shitty Monday. “It just sounds like you are procrastinating a lot.” That’s what my therapist told me. Sounds so obvious. I couldn’t figure it out. I’m fighting depression.…

  • February 2022: Four Instagrams – Bilingual Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer – Ensenada Reader Cover

    January 2022 is gone. I did 13 photoshoots in the first month of 2022. 7 of them were paid. 4 of them were for the Reader. The other three I got by myself. I now have four fucking Instagrams. The Instagram addiction is bad. I feel like it’s work though it is not and it…

  • Post 601: Three Years Without Mom – Ensenada Research Has Me Broke – Photographer for Hire

    It’s a shitty day. It’s shitty outside. It’s shitty inside. It was a shitty morning. It was a shitty night. I turn three years old today. It’s my niece’s fifth birthday. She’s a bundle of joy. She makes me happy. It’s the third year anniversary of my mother’s death. Shit. I thought I could control…

  • Houston Vacay, Texas Beers – Tinder Date and Rockets vs Lakers on Peed Pants – New Year Let’s Go

    I peed my pants in public. Surrounded by hundreds of Texans. No one knew except my cousin when I told him “I’m peeing right now.” He couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it. This has never happened in my life (and I hope it never happens again). I wasn’t even drunk… I’ve been on an…

  • Busy November, Nothing December – Bilingual Wedding Photographer Booking 2022 – Beer Cover and Top 10 Beers

    I have nothing to do. So I’m cleaning my apartment. I wish I was on Ritalin for it. It helps a lot. It’s rainy as fuck out. My street is a shit river of sewer and rainwater like it always is when Tijuana gets like this. Not a little creek. Like a fucking river. I…

  • Beer Cover 2022 Sent – Now We Wait – Gigs and Tours

    You get a landing page! And you get a landing page! And I’m still missing so many landing pages. Landing pages for all my photography. Landing pages for my books. Landing pages for all! And people still view my Britney post and the one with the Beauty and the Geek the most. Also, the one…

  • Photoshoots, Tours, and Beer Cover – Halloween en La Revu 2021 – NFL Fantasy Halfway There

    Ooeee!! Here we go. First and foremost, the Halloween album. You fuckers have no idea how difficult it is to shoot with a huge mask on. Almost all shots are ‘3 of a second at 200 shutter speed and 100 ISO with the flash attached. Blindshooting because I couldn’t really see what I was doing.…

  • Food Photography for Ali’s Chicken – Event Photography for a Three-year-old – Landing Pages

    I slept early yesterday and I woke up late today. It’s cloudy as fuck, which I like for pictures. I dreamt of my mother. It was simple and basic. She was doing the dishes. In this same kitchen of my apartment where I live right now. I only saw her back. I asked if she…

  • Thunderstorm in Tijuana – Ensenada Trip – Taco Truck Cashier Person

    So many days of nothing. Very few days with everything. That seems to be my days. In the next few days, I have a lot. Tomorrow, I work as a taco truck cashier man. It’s easy money. People tip a lot because it’s San Diego. And they feel bad for me because they think it’s…

  • Mid-September Already – Food Photography Is Life – New Roommate, Blast from the Past

    And holy shit! Just like that, it’s September. I didn’t post shit in August, and already halfway through the month and I haven’t written much. I had another cover in the San Diego Reader, here: https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2021/aug/25/cover-unintended-baja-med-escapade/ In the beginning of the story, I tout myself as a food photographer. And that’s what I want to…

  • July is Gone – All Instagram, Social Media Distortion – Photoshoots for Money Taco Paparazzo

    July is suddenly gone. I don’t know what the fuck happened to me. I feel like a mammoth stuck in tar. I feel like I should be big and roaming around. Alas, I am not. I’m stuck in the same space letting time go by. I had one great Saturday. That was this last Saturday.…

  • Big Bass, Want More Strings – June is Suddenly Gone – Tijuana Adventure en Español

    Where did June go? Instead of June is Finally Here… June is suddenly gone. That’s a mathrock reference. Don Cab. Classic math rock. So good. I’m back to playing music. That has made me happy. I need a bass amp. My primo Joe gifted me his 6-string bass that he had in his closet for…

  • Depression Over Instagram Girl – Portadas en el Lector de SD – Ponte a Trabajar: Aventuras en Tijuana

    Profound sadness Sunday. Not sad like losing my mom. That was way more than profound. It was otherworldly. Often described as an out of body experience. Not that. This is an emo heartbreak. It’s sad. But in a way it’s easier to get over. She’s right. I am a shitty person. For the past year…

    It feels like all I do is play DotA and nothing else. But I saw the last blog and it reminded me that I did a shit ton that week. And looking back… I did a shit ton last week as well. I wish I made money doing all I did… but it was an…

  • I’m Fucking 35, Camping Adventure Time – Matingas the Character – Kim Shantal

    This new wordpress layout still sucks. Perhaps that’s the reason I haven’t felt like writing anything here. Perhaps is because I’ve been busy as fuck (or so it feels, but then I realize I’m not). Perhaps I don’t have much to write… I’m fucking 35 now. I feel old as shit. Bahahaha! For a while,…

    Pain fucking Mondays. But I feel alright. I cleaned the cats litter box. That was disgusting. Because I’m a lazy POS, I let it accumulate. Not the shit… the empty litter bags. There were over a dozen empty litter bags piled up. I crushed them all and put them inside one litter bag so I…

    Well… Fuck this shit. WordPress is doubling down that block editor is the way to go. I don’t like it. But they say it’s the future. I should read more about it. It’s glitchy as fuck. And I don’t like it. It even randomly tells me “you are not allowed to save this draft.” Dafuq…

    I FUCKING HATE LIFE TODAY! Starting with a fuck you to you fucking WordPress, my website host. I’m frustrated about other shit and now I can’t access the classic editor like I used too. I remember how frustrating last post was because I was forced to use this new blogging system, and somehow, I went…

    Holy fuck… I’m exhausted. And I haven’t even had breakfast. I just filed my 2020 taxes. And fuck. Taxes are scary. Especially when you are not sure what you are doing and you have to file freelance taxes from three different sources. And I paid for my car insurance. And I paid for some more…

    Dark have been my dreams of late. Not really dark. Weird. Weird dreams. Weird days. This last dream involved my friend Mora and Pablo. Not sure why those two were there. But they were. And in that dream, we were trekking a snowy mountainside that had ocean waves crashing on the side. A mix of…

    AHH!! I skipped my blog last week. And today… I was thinking of skipping today as well. There are too many things in my mind. Work things. Many work things. I think I just book a wedding. A paid wedding. A nicely priced wedding (at a discount because she’s a friend). And trying to do…

    Woo!!! I was playing Dota 2 last night with my friends Edu and Sanchez and I received an email. Emails late on a Sunday night are rare and they usually mean crap. It wasn’t crap. I got a new Patron! I just checked my Patreon managing site and he isn’t even new! He was one…

  • Saraby and Abril – Prints and Sexy Shoots – Tijuana Beer Tours 2021

    My therapist says that I am doing better. I guess I only told her all the good shit that has been happening and skipped all the horrible shit. Horrible shit. I’ve spent two days sober this whole year. And not completely sober. I mean just no alcohol. Those nights, I couldn’t sleep and had suicidal…

  • Super Bowl Shit – Steady Cover Photo Life – Prints Are Expensive As F

    Well… That Super Bowl game was shit. I wanted the Bills to win it since I got Diggs as my wide receiver and I was loving what I saw from the team. I never really liked the Bills or their fans, but I was digging this team. And my cousin Dennis is a huge fan…

    I don’t have hot water, so fuck showering today. It’s cold and cloudy out anyway. I just came back from a long walk. It was fruitless. Yesterday I walked for a long ass time as well. It was good. I did some drone photography and printed my most popular picture as of yet, the Tormenta…
