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…

Bills, Taxes, Adulting – More Shoots, More Covers – Pop-up Store, Showroom, Photo Sessions (at Nett Nett)
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…

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…

6.5% of the Dream on Patreon – Day Drinking for a Week – Droning the City
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…

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…

2021 Off to a Horrible Start – Books Discounted, Books Promoted – Luminar Software Review
Where have my days in 2021 gone?! I swear I already wrote a blog or two this year. Nope. Nothing. The end of 2020 changed nothing. Every day I wake up late and do fucking nothing. Every night I tell myself “tomorrow you are going to wake up early, workout, prepare some breakfast, and do…

Word Vomit Continues All 2021 – Fucking Life – Motivation to Nothingness
I don’t know what I am doing… all I know is I really want to do it. Be productive. 2020 drain all my motivation and find it again it’s going to be a bitch. But I want it. I’ve been watching YouTube tips on how to sell more on Amazon, which makes me realize that…

Letter to Mom – Farewell 2020 and Hi To The Uncertain 2021 – Flying to Texas
Hi Mom, What a shit year. You would have hated it. Even though Trump is voted out and you would have loved that… it would have been a weird and confusing year. You hate hospitals. If your last year was this year… you would have hated it more. I miss you like crazy. That’s a…

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…

Drone Adventures – Flying is my New Favorite Thing – NFL Fantasía Semana #8
I want to fly!!! That’s all I want to do. My friend Danny, a guy I toured a few years ago, lent me his DJI Mavic Mini. A nifty little drone that weighs 249 grams, making it legal to fly in most places in the United States. In Mexico, drone laws are a bit confusing…

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…

Story Sold, Books Not So Much – Baja Adventure Travels – NFL and Other Fantasías
I sold the story. Fear and Loathing in La Baja sold to the regular bidder and the only place I submit my stories, the San Diego Reader. It should be a cover or a feature story in the near future. There are only 10 weeks left to 2020. It should be one of those 10 weeks.…

My Fan Died, Need Thousands More – Paperback and Digital Download Available – Buy the Book!
My best and only fan died this morning. I woke up early to the smell of something burning. I drunkenly kicked the fan before going to bed. That kick might have killed the engine. The fan gets kicked around often and it’s filthy with cat hair. Maybe that also did it. It’s hot in my…

Paparazzi Daze Book Comes Out in a Week!!! – September is almost over – NFL Fantasy Football Season 3!
Ugh… Amazon is taking forever. I’m trying to upload the latest cover design for my book but it’s not going through. Just stays in “processing your files…” I need to update the manuscript as well… The latest revision is being done by the sensei master himself, Chad. His book is also coming out soon! And…

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…
