Hiking in San Bernardino, Cali
self portrait
Shots taken from a solo hike close to the house up in the San Bernardino national forest. The forest went up in flames a few years ago leaving behind eery burnt bushes you see above. The forest lost all of its tall trees in the fire, completing transforming the landscape.
I had to jump this rock over 10 times trying to get the timing perfect. In my left hand I have my remote trying to trick the shutter while in air.

Portraits of Mexico
Recently came back from a trip to Mexico where I spent two weeks in San Cristobal de las casas with Operation Smile. Soon after the mission was complete, 91 beautiful new smiles (!), I headed north to Sayulita to surf for one more week. Both places are beautiful. I recommend if you go to Sayulita, you go when there’s no U.S. school breaks because the small town has a propensity to attract loud Americans. Regardless it is a quaint town that has great surf and even better fish tacos. My days were full of both.
All shots taken with 120 film and my Holga.

Morocco, Rome, Ghana + California black and whites
I finally developed some rolls of film that I had in my camera bag for months. Developed them in San Francisco but I’m not to happy with the outcome. A little too contrasty and grainy but nonetheless still fun to get back.
Most of these are 35mm black and white film. A couple are 120 film shot with my plastic Holga.
MOROCCO
Roommate, Said, and friend Matt. We're waiting at the Tangier, Morocco ferry. This is the beginning of our roadtrip from Rabat, Morocco to Seville, Spain. Nothing but trouble.

GHANA
Palm wine seller on the beach front near Kokrobite, Ghana. After i took this shot i tried the palm wine and noticed the water they were using to ferment the wine and clean the bucket. Water as brown as the dirt. I ended up with the worst stomach flu I've ever had. 120 film
