Friends

Louis T:
Great friend with a great eye for imagery. It is a pleasure whenever I work on photoshoots with Louis. Main inspiration of mine to venture into the world of film. The integrity and humility of this man will make you trust him to photograph your wedding (I plan to be assisting a few weddings this year). Check out the campaign I assisted him with here.

Benjamin Buddy:
This man is pure style.  His designs exude minimalism, yet he is confident in his decisions. Co-founder of Poor Artist League artist collective which opened my artistic mind forever. He speaks with great humility and has influenced the way I present myself as well. Thank you Ben.

Rocky:
Main photographic-adventuring partner. Enjoys mulling around our areas and exploring for photographic inspirations.  Always down to shoot with a good heart for others.  Enjoys Islander Cuisine and can cook a mean Indo Fried Rice. Recently picked film back up with an uncanny eye for composition.

Diana Jou:
Inspirational friend and writer. Adores all things print (zines, vintage book covers, newspaper print), an avid eye for minimalistic style, lover of timeless unisex fashion and leather-accented bags. Great visual vocabulary for graphics as well. Started Jaded Mag in college which gave me a chance to assist in article and back cover graphics.

Ray Ricafort:
Fellow hustler and good friend. We find ourselves chatting a lot about life and what it takes to inspire others. Killing it as an MC as well as learning to produce songs himself.  He is a master of lyrical prose and a humble man who will never admit to his greatness.  Main parter to drop in a cypher with.

Jeff M C:
A passionate man willing to study the fields that interest him.  Recently fell in love with film, likes to camp and dreams of owning a trailer and touring the interstates, often pretends like he's studying when he's really just combing the web.

Chris G:
Internet wiz kid and tech savvy artist slash writer, prefers the compact film Olympus xa and CVS brand disposable cameras.  Always down for a good chat about who's hot, what's in, or the latest gossip on Justin Bieber. NYC contributor to The Sunday Huddle.

Haserad:
Has a laid back personality and not many worries about life.  We should all view the world as carefree as he does.  Aspiring DJ killing it in the electro Japan scene.

Phil L:
A fellow Nikon film shooter running the same Nikkor 35mm F2 lens, this cat rides a bike like the wind.  In fact, hes conquering the Siberian winds of Seoul as we speak.

Tigran:
Crazy abstract artist and photographer. Doesn't post up a lot of his excellent work I think to stay artistically elusive. It's always a pleasure seeing his post on The Sunday Huddle. Runs a Pentax 67 and recently bought a Mamiya rz67.

Omabu:
Humble, talented, and often soft spoken.  Don't let his initial quietness fool you, hes layered like an onion. Fellow film aficionado and music maker.

Gary Sexton:
Friends from Poor Artist League, Gary has excelled in the digital photography sector providing headshots and dope weddings to the San Francisco area.

Groups:

The Sunday Huddle:
Photo blog consisting of a few friends, posting photos in a logical sequence from around the world.  We have people snapping film in Korea, New York, and California.

Tikko Studios:
A humble company comprised of Louis and Tigran, this photo umbrella oozes with style.  Staying true to their roots, Tikko Studios is slowly transitioning into all film. Their combined imagery inspires me to shoot harder everyday. Check out Tikko Weddings.
 
Groove Monsters:
I branded GM since its inception.  Still on the grind to provide us with good mixes.  I hope to have many design collaborations in the future, and I see a bright future for Groove Monsters. Backed by the talented Time Machine & Yooneytunes.

They Shoot Film:
Very talented film photography folks and a neat website which inspired me to create The Sunday Huddle.  Much love guys and much camera envy.

Good folks giving you the latest news in music.  Love their creative direction and very happy to be rebranding C+A+D.

Poor Artist League:
The entity created by Ben which launched my art into the art world and taught me the importance of hard work, persistence, and a sense of staying true to yourself.  First collective I was ever apart of.
