Week 46 (2025) – New Adult Bed – More Photography Gigs and a Dutch Tour – Cold Laundry Days
It was a busy week. Social media gig keeps me busy for a couple of days a week. It should be fewer hours. But I don’t complain. It’s okay money and I get to eat for free. And I’m back in the photography game. I need more photo gigs. The circle of photography. Do it…

Week 32 (2025) – Big Apple, 3 AM – Matingas Now on Substack – Bad Burger, Great Beer, and New Bar
New York in exactly a month. I’m excited. We’re excited. My girlfriend sends me dozens of TikToks about New York almost daily. I watch MOST of them. But there are too many. Many influencers have a whispery voice that I find annoying. I want to create my own content, not consume others. I have friends.…

Week 28 (2025) – Changed Website and New About Me – San Diego Date Day – Tijuana Adventure Newsletters
I changed my website. I changed my attitude. How does it look? Let me know. The start of July was slow. Well… it started with a great tour that paid me double, but then it slowed down. It was my girlfriend’s birthday, and I did nothing but make sure she was happy. And then I…

Week 27 (2025) – Drunken Unbirthday DotA Depression – More Content, More Patreon – Next Half of the Year
Ando sad. I’m the most depressed I’ve been in years. The worst day was Sunday. It stemmed from my girlfriend’s birthday. I usually get sad on my birthdays. But for the past few years, they’ve been alright. This time it was my girlfriend’s birthday that got me sad. She’s 35. The age is not the…

Week 24 + 25 (2025) – Book Fair Closing – Wu Clan Ensenada and TJ Tour Adventure – Tijuana No! Live (concert photography)
Welp… I did it again. I got way too busy and I couldn’t blog last week. I had a tour early on Tuesday with a lovely couple with Disney tattoos. We weren’t suppose to drink. The husband had a tattoo appointment at 5 pm and you are not supposed to drink before getting a tattoo.…

Week 15 (2025) – April Got Better (and More to Come) – I Wore a MAGA Hat and Didn’t Like It – Full Moon 18
I’m on a TikTok live. I have much work to do. I can’t write and be on TikTok live at the same time. I get distracted. It’s hard to do. It was a helluva of a week. Yeah. That TikTok live consumed my time and I didn’t write my blog. I’ll be going on TikTok…

Week 14 (2025) – Shit April Continues – iMac Dies and Revives in Sonoma (OCLP) – Okayish DotA Team and TikTok Lives
Ooooeee shit! What a horrible start to April. I was going to write about how happy I am because I finally got an SSD external hard drive and I did Open Core Legacy Patcher and updated my iMac to Sonoma. DotA was running great. I downloaded the new Luminar “Neo” and it was working smoothly.…

Week 13 (2025) – AI Blog Posting (or Is It?) – Newish Camera GoPro 10 and a Ton of Content – Bad Start to April
It’s been shitty and depressing days… Ever since I lost my camera. But fear not, I got another camera now. It’s a GoPro 10. A friend gave it to me. A gift and a loan at the same time. He says he doesn’t use it, but if I get another camera, to give it back.…

Week 3 (2025) – Bring It 2025 (but be nice) – 6 Years of 2nd Life
My mom would have hated this day more than I do. She hated Trump. And his first hour as president for a second round is plenty dramatic. I hate this day not much because of that. Because it marks six years without my mom. The new life. And since then, shit got crazy. I’m used…

January Recovered – New Job, New Book, New Life – Tours, Photoshoots, and Presentations
I’m doing nothing but waiting again. It sucks. I got offered the job. I accepted it. I’ve done all the paperwork and tests. I’m still not scheduled to work. They let you know ahead of time, but it’s almost February and I have no idea what days I’m working or not. I’ve gotten four emails…

November 2022: Halloween Traditional Album – Podcast Goes TikTok Viral – CDMX Soon
Here we go again. Post 621. Can you fucking believe that?! November 2022. The year is almost over. I go to Mexico City for the last week of November. I’m covering my friend’s wedding in San Joaquin, Querétaro. I bought the plane tickets months ago. I’m not sure where I’m staying. I’m not sure what…

Long Exposure Selfie on the Cover (Again) -July is Over – OnlyFans Photoshoot
I feel the need to be productive because it’s Monday, so I type and type. Otherwise, I would be playing DotA or Fall Guys. I just lost a ranked match. Waste of time. I just won a crown. Waste of time. Same thing. Win or lose. Waste of time. But hey, it’s entertainment. This week…

Bfsalfas -Fuck Everything, I’ve Got Work To Do – April Photoshoots
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…

Shooting from the Air, Shooting from the Ground – Moody Monday – Babe + Sunset + Studio Lights
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…

March 2021: Haircute and a Busted Lip – Bars Reopened in TJ – Future Photo Showroom
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…

February 2021: María’s Cover Story – Patreon is Activated – Prints for Sale
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…

No Niche Photography – Drone, Journalism, Nalgas, Food & Drinks, Landscapes, Fantasies, Etc. – Best Thing I’ve Ever Written
I don’t know what to do with my day. I don’t know what to do with my life. I say that a lot. This girl that I like and she likes me back always says the same “start writing.” I don’t know what to write anymore. I’m not a writer. I just have stories to…

2 Years of Afterlife – Where Am I Headed? – All Sorts of Photoshoots
I don’t know where I’m headed, but I’m going straight there. It’s my niece’s birthday tomorrow. It’s been exactly two years since my mom died. It feels like it was forever ago. Maybe it was because of the non-existent 2020. The eternal bond of mother and child broke. My mom and I had a strong…

Paparazzi Podcast with StillVinSane – Portrait Portfolio and Discounted Photoshoots – Am I Balding?!
Hey! Look at me! I woke up to a message that someone is interested in my drone photography! An architect working on a new project in Tijuana! The only issue… this is for several months from now. Hey!

X-Mas Set and Flying Around – Pay What You Can or Texas Time – Bye-Bye Fantasy Football and Books
I woke up to the sounds of Transformers fucking outside my window. There are issues with the water pipes and drainage on my street. Trucks and other equipment are making a shit ton of mechanical sounds and rock/cement breaking. It sounds like Transformers fucking. I have been doing fucking nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing. I have…

Insane Phone Call This Morning – Jeb Depression and Texas Back-up Fantasy – NFL Semana #11
I just hung up from the most insane phone conversation I have ever had in my life. First of all. I hate the phone. So fuck that shit. I remember talking on the phone with a girl for the first time when I was in middle school. It was the most boring shit ever. I…

Whole Lot of Nothing and Everything – Cover Picture Out Today (Cover Love Story Out Soon) – NFL Fantasy Güiching Auer
I sold one book all of November. And it wasn’t even my new book, it was the Tijuana Adventure book. You can buy that HERE. Or my new book, here! The Amazon rating for my books is the lowest it has ever been. Neither of them are on the top #100 of their category. How…

No Line, Easy Gig – Back to Book Promoting – NFL Fantasy en Español (Semana 7)
This is dumb. This year. This life. That’s how it feels. Probably because I lost in my NFL fantasy game and my parlay. Probably because I’m not sure where to go next. It feels like that way too often. I have two somewhat easy photo gigs. One is super simple. Go to multiple spots, take…

The Final Point, Astro Photos in La Baja – Five-Star Reviews on Paparazzi Daze – Not Many Book Sales…
I applied for a job this morning. I am not certain if it’s for me, but it might be. A few people ask me to do a podcast. It’s a podcast related type of job. If I get it, it will be a new life. It’s a serious job. And one that would benefit my…

Paparazzi Daze / Celebrity Encounters – Corona is Over? – Buy Buy BUY My Book(s)
IT HAS BEEN DONE!!! My book about my paparazzi times is complete (sort of). This is not the official cover but one done by a friend of mine: The official cover will be similar, but different font and other different details. The back cover needs to be designed as well… and I’m not sure what…
