A true southern porch





Took this shot with hipstamatic app. This is the porch of a house my YouthWorks team and I were fortunate to stay at before getting started on our work in Raleigh. Thanks Rene!

16th street Baptist Church Birmingham, Alabama.

This church holds historical significance becuase it's bombing in 1963 helped raise awareness in America for the civil rights movement. The bombing was done by Klu Klux Klansmen, and it ended up killing four African American girls. The Klansmen were not punished for their acts and the U.S. began to get a better idea of the atrocities and injustices that African Americans were going through.

Today the church is still serving in the community and holds weekly services. The church is a symbol of the resiliancy of the African American people, and it stands as a reminder of Americas past mistakes that should never be repeated.

iPhone photo a day

I am going to start posting one photo a day from my iPhone. The app store has so many aps for photography and I want to make use of them! I will edit some pictures and some I will leave alone. I will be using apps like color splash, vintage camera, and photo shop mobile. Let the experiment begin!!



My brother and I were playing basketball against my uncle and my dad. Things got a little rough and my brother got a bloody nose due to an elbow from my uncle! This is his blood on the cement.

Data Electronics

For Higher Resolution click here.

I spent a week documenting the workers of Data Electronics (a circuit board plating factory) in Santa Ana, CA. What drew me to this factory is the opportunity that they have given many of their workers. Many of their workers came to the factory not knowing English or Spanish (the two dominant languages in Santa Ana), and some of the workers spoke only in a dialect (languages not known by the modern world) that is virtually impossible to understand unless you have grown up speaking the language. The factory has had patience with many of its employees by teaching them the skills to do their jobs, and in some cases how to read and write. Many of these individuals would have had to work in unskilled jobs that would pay them low wages, but Data Electronics gave these individuals an opportunity to have a higher standard of life.

The slide show above was made for my photojournalism class, and below are some of my favorite shots from the week I spent with the workers of Data Electronics.

Shailesh Vagahashia. Possibly the happiest individual I have ever met. This picture captures him perfectly. He is always laughing and smiling.

Justino Bautista. He spoke nothing but dialect when he first came to America. Now he can speak Spanish fluently and knows enough English to get around.

Francisco Bautista. With the money he has made at Data Electronics he has managed to buy land and build a home in Mexico that he plans to go live in, in a year.

Brittany and Danny

A couple of days ago my friend called me up and asked me if I could do his sister in laws engagement portraits, because their photographer had canceled on them at the last minute (pretty unprofessional). Seeing the opportunity to make some money, and complete one of my Comm 319 assignments I said yes and made my way down to San Diego where the couple resides. I have done portraits before and I generally don't like doing them because I am not that good at telling people how to pose, but this shoot was way different. I had a blast. Brittany and Danny are probably some of the coolest people I have met in a long time, and they were incredibly easy to work with. This was also the first time I had ever shot a couple, so maybe that has something to do with it to.

The location we shot at was La Jolla Beach near San Diego. The lighting that day was perfect.
