Last weekend I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot in the meat packing district for my friend Huan’s new urban clothing line, QuikieeMart Tags. Besides the awesome shirt and hat designs, I had a great time working with a group of laid back, funky fresh models! So a special shout out to Christine Ng, Phil Le, Beda Pormentilla, Kristina Latonio, Jean Pagdonsolan, Crisanto Jorda, and of course the talented Huan Nguyen for your awesome modeling skills (especially in the rain and cold weather). You guys are troopers! Alright, it’s a wrap!

Be sure to check out the QuikieeMart Tags website for more details on his clothing line!

Last month, Daniel and I decided to venture up north in hopes to capture the fall foliage. Our destination was to shoot somewhere in the Catskills Mountains, only to realize that we didn’t know where to start. Finally some locals at a nearby Stewarts Root Beer shop suggested we visit Woodstock down the road, so we decided to take their advice and head onward to the land of funky shops and old hippies.

Woodstock and the towns nearby turned out to be the perfect place to capture the turning leaves. We discovered beautiful lakes surrounded by multi-colored trees and rolling hills, only to be kicked out moments later by park patrol since most of the lakes were used as water supply.

Regardless of the minor incident, I highly suggest visiting Woodstock for its phenomenal scenery and groovy hippie shops. I didn’t get as many photos as I had hoped, but sometimes the best shots are the ones you capture with your own eyes.

Peace and love my friends

These photos are dedicated to my beloved friend Keimay, who passed away on October 20th, 2007. Your vibrant spirit, loving nature, and hilarious sense of humor will be sorely missed. Thank you for touching so many lives and loving us like you did. Happy 31st birthday my dear Keimay. May you rest in peace.
