  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Ensenada Adventure: Finding Vicmar the Shipwreck – DotA All the Time – Kim Shantal and Fame

    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,…

  • Goth Kids Photoshoot and Puppies – Nett Nett Radio and Space – Upcoming Eater Contributor

    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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

    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…

    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…

    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…
