Wallow in Sadness – Donatella Died, She Left – That’s Life, Sinatra Way
I said life was like Sinatra. Life continues the Sinatra way. This time I’m down. I’ve done nothing for the past five days.

I haven’t touched my cameras all of September… It’s already September 12th but the days have disappeared between heat, rain with heat, Labor Day long weekend, being with my girlfriend, and no gigs.

July 2022: Puppy Studio Cover – Thinking of Her – Food Influencer Gone Wrong
I’m happy but also feeling sad. I got sunshine but also debt in a bag. More gigs coming my way, more expenses to spend. It’s coming on. Everything seems to be going great for me. It’s so good, that I got that feeling of impostor syndrome. I work at a taco truck serving and sometimes…

Only Fans: Exclusive Matingas – Lil Jon Private Party – Sleeping in My Car, Busy March
It’s working! Somewhat! It’s working! I’m working. That’s what I mean. The idea of working every day is sort of going. I didn’t do shit yesterday, but that’s because I did too much on Tuesday afternoon and I was exhausted. I felt lethargic all day and was unsure why. It’s because I was tired. So…

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.

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…

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…
