I have always had a passion for photography since junior high when I discovered my dad’s 1960’s Pentax. I began experimenting with that camera taking it to shows and shooting some really bad and occasionally a few decent photos. Before I started pursuing my career in design I took a few classes in college, learned how to process my own film in a darkroom and wanted to pursue photography as a career. I have always loved making images be it in the camera or with a computer. What does this long rant have to do with anything? Well, not too much but thought I’d share a few photos that I took recently at home and in Laguna Beach, CA. I picked up a Canon 30D recently and absolutely love it. Look for a lot more photography showing up here on my blog. Enjoy and comment.

After a few months of hard work and a VERY long work weekend, I launched the Gold Rush Tattoo website for my buddy Colin and the rest of the Gold Rush crew. Go check out their new work and if you’re in Orange County, go check them out and get a tattoo or two.

I designed this wallpaper a few months back from a photo that was taken by Sean Rosenthal. Thought I would share it in case anyone wanted to refresh their desktop. Enjoy.

And, this is what I call some dedication. Photos of my Safari tattoo are on the way.*

Came across this video regarding how much the font Trajan is used in movie poster design and found it to be quite entertaining.  I never realized how much it is used. It is truly a great typeface but wow. Via 37 Signals.

Here are a few sites that I designed that launched recently. Unfortunately I haven’t had time to update my main site so I think this may be a good way to keep some work up to date. More coming very soon.

Copydriven - Flash website for Copywriter extraordinare Yama Rahyar.

Within A Dream Photography - Website for the incredibly talented photographer Sean Rosenthal.

I will be traveling to Japan March 14th-18th with Taken for a string of reunion shows. We haven’t played a show together in over 3 years, it will be great to play some music with those guys again. Apparently internet access on our trip may be somewhat limited but I will hopefully hit an internet cafe or two and post some photos and video.

Greetings interweb. (Possible) interesting content to come soon.
