WARPED TOUR 2K8
It wouldn?t be summer at AP without our annual Warped Tour issue. This year, dig in with members of Gym Class Heroes, HorrorPops, Angels & Airwaves, Say Anything, Anberlin, Relient K, Norman Jean and the Color Fred as they divulge the lengths (literally and metaphorically) they?ve gone to in order to see their fave bands live. Plus, read up on how Warped Tour functions during the off season and get tips for playing your first Warped gig from Kevin "the man" Lyman.

PHOTO SPECIAL
AP photographer Jered Scott turns the lense on himself--well, his daily routine at least, in our 2008 Photo Special.

ORAL HISTORY: H2O
Hydrogen plus Oxygen is to H2O as First-Wave DC Emo plus NYHC is to H2O. We?re not completely sure what that means, but we do know that when the band H2O brought together the latter elements, it flowed like water.

PLUS: Alkaline Trio, Mindless Self Indulgence, Cute Is What We Aim For & Metro Station!

This issue hits newstand on July 8th!!!!
i'll hit you with that again, don't you worry!!!!

Salvation Mountain

2008-06-29T09:13:00.000-07:00

on thursday i made a little pilgrimage out to niland Ca. why you ask? why would anyone go purposefully into the 108 degree desert? to check out Salvation Mountain, that's why.

Emma, Caleb, Nick, Elsie and I loaded into the compact car and hit the road. after hours of travels we arrived to our wonderful destination.

we began exploring the silent structure in awe. As we puttered around we eventually ran into Leonard Knight, the man behind this place.

Leonard shared stories with us, let us take his picture, gave us the tour.....just amazing.

after our time with him, we pilled back in the car and headed home to LA.

Birfday

2008-06-22T23:03:00.000-07:00

Today i had the pleasure of spending my 26th birthday with one of my closest friends, Gabe Connor.
he and i hit up the warped tour for the day, and hung out with our buddies in Relient K. it was quite a blast.

we bummed around, laughed a little too much, worked for a sweet half hour, all on the cost in Ventura.

then cruised back to my house with Gabe and Jon Schneck for the night.

tomorrow we are gonna cruise to some movie sites that Schneck wants to see.
all in all, pretty rad day.

thanks for all the birthday wishes! really appreciate them guys. now you all take care....ok?

Superdrag

2008-05-29T13:33:00.000-07:00

i've got to admit, when i was a freshman in highschool my buddy jimmy and i really loved listening to our towns only rock radio station, Sly 96.1. because of them we were introduced to SUCKED OUT, by Superdrag. i rad to the local warehouse music (remember those?) and grabbed their first album, Regretfully Yours. Over 10 years later, i had the pleasure of shooting them. this was also my first time at the famous Troubadour near Beverly Hills, CA.

2008-05-20T11:50:00.000-07:00

hey readers....its' 11:50 am on tuesday. i am sitting at my computers getting as much done as my brain will allow.

this friday i have images due to AP Magazine (alternative press) from my trip.

the news i have yet to share is that sometime this summer there will be a featured spread on the 3 weeks i was just out on!!!
the feature will be a few pages of my photos with captions. pretty straight forward, and pretty freakin awesome!

i have wanted to do anything for this magazine since i started shooting, and my first assignment with them was doing my own spread!

so, for the next few days i'm sifting through 3 weeks of photos from 7 states, and like 20 something bands.

as far as anything else goes....i plan to do a total "jered scott" revamp that will affect the site, the blog, the myspace, and whatever else i can think of giving a rehaul to!!!

so hang in there please.....and have a blast cause......summer starts this weekend!

(oh, i graduate college this weekend too! yipeeeeee!)

1:29 am

2008-05-05T22:29:00.000-07:00

a day of exploration takes a lot out of me.

saw times square for the first time ever! went over to 30 Rock to see if Tina wanted to have lunch at the park with me. (yeah, i call Tina Fey just Tina). she was busy, so i went to west village and had me some grays papaya hot dogs.
then met up with my friend Ciara and her friends....to attempt a visit to the Met.

its closed on mondays. boo.
but i did eat icecream.

then i got dropped off at FUSE and watched a taping of "the sauce." todays guests : Peter and Prince Caspian from the new Narnia film, and Hayley from Paramore. good times.

man am i beat. gotta do work. gotta sleep.

more shows this week.

love you.

dizmas DO IT

2008-04-30T19:19:00.000-07:00

so dizmas had a new CD come out on tues. and it RULES.
it is a compilation of their first 2 releases, and some new songs. but i'm guessing, most of you don't have any of their stuff....so its ALL NEW TO YOU.

hop online and buy it. don't just read this, and not buy it. really.....BUY IT.

oh, and don't buy it on itunes! haha. cause, if you buy a hard copy....you get the FIRST jered scott photo on an ALBUM!!!!!!

so support the dudes....and support me!!!!!!!

Buy it Here!

what a weekend

2008-04-27T13:21:00.000-07:00

friday night i got to hang back down at rocketown in Nashville again. this time, i got to shoot Thrice's concert!!!

their Tour Manager was insanely rad, and hooked me up to shoot pretty much anything from anywhere the whole night. i always get jazzed to shoot onstage, and i usually just find myself standing and watching from the best seat in the house. i am a lucky dude.

after the show ended i got a ride from my sweet buddy Ethan (the new drummer of Relient K) and headed to our 1 a.m. bus call.

this was my first time sleeping on a bus! and it was a treat. haha. like sleeping in a coffin, as ethan put it.
it was hard to sleep at first, but i freaking woke up at 12 pm in Ohio! hahahaha.

the dudes were nice enough to pose for a few shots....which may or may not be used on their upcoming "Tennis Ep". get it???

then, we all worked together for a great show.....not me so much. but i got in there. again, on stage....so fun.

special thanks to the crew, and the RK dudes, Matt, Matt, Jon, John and Ethan. thanks for allowing me to hitch a ride!!! so fun.

more to come soon!!!

Tour Part 1 : Nashville

2008-04-24T15:44:00.000-07:00

hey ya'll (i speak southern when i'm in the south), i'm in Nashville right now. just got done walk through some woods with my buddies. it was pretty nice. we don't get to do that ever in good ole' cali, so it sure is nice to take a break and hit up tennessee.

so the quick fill in.....

last saturday i shot photos for a sweet San Diego band called destroy the runner. then on sunday i shot Dustin (from sever your ties) wedding all day. then i flew out of CA at 1 am, arriving in nashville at 9am, to be picked up by my buddy Clay!

i arrived in time to catch most of the GMA's (the gospel music awards) week that takes over downtown. i crashed out with my friends in Dizmas and tagged along with them all week. we went to interviews, meetings, showcases and bbq's! they do things right here in the south!!!

i got to hang out with mike on monday, and we walked downtown, shootin some photos. then we all headed to the wild horse saloon for a quick Switchfoot set. that was fun too shoot! (shout out to LUKE who i finally got to meet!)

we went to more meetings, radio interviews, etc on tues and wed.....but all was a blast. i met some really rad people and made some great new friends.

i gotta keep a lid on most of the photos until this summer....but here's a "sneak peak" of a shoot we did.

tomorrow is Thrice and then i leave with relient k for the weekend. wow.

(yeah dizmas. i love you)

practice, shoots and friends

2008-04-14T11:24:00.000-07:00

this friday, i got to catch up with my friend kristi. she's a popular subject here on this blog. she lets me dress her up, and shoot. it's quite a fun little deal.

while we caught up, she let me get in some more practice with my new lens. so we wandered to a few spots i've had my eye on. and we had ourselves a little party.

and congrat's to Kristi! she is going to grad school in the fall!!!!!!!! hooray!

mxpx in Bako

2008-04-08T20:55:00.000-07:00

i try to be open, and enjoy most things. but bakersfield just isn't one of them! haha.

so sunday i spent the day with mxpx, and APPARENTLY that wasn't enough for them (kidding).
so i hitched a ride with some delightful friends, mike and mel...and met the guys for a show at "The Dome."

the set was great. the fella's played a solid set. lots of pumped songs, really got that crowd into it. but shooting for me was a little hard....

fog is my new Nemesis. it's like a really good band having to run all their equipment through a tiny PA. you just can't work with it...

mxpx at bamboozle left

2008-04-08T17:57:00.000-07:00

this sunday i spent the WHOLE day carting around with MxPx at Bamboozle Left!
(literally, we were shuttled around in golf carts all day!!!)

i went to a signing, some interviews, the "Red Bull" fancy tent....it was a day.

the guys played early, but it was a FUN show. the crowd was really into it...i even saw one of my YWAM buddies crowd surfing!

Tom wanted to check out his friends show, Set Your Goals. i was blown away. but not before i was covered in silly string

Easter = Love

2008-03-25T13:27:00.000-07:00

what a great Resurrection Sunday this year was!
While my sister was back in Chicago, enjoying the high temp of 20 degrees....we were spoiled with a low 90's day in Southern Cali.

And what a better way to spend it, than with Josh and Kate.

Josh is the guitar player for the band DIZMAS. we go way back. he taught me how to play all of their songs a few years ago (and i found out, the doctor told him he played to much guitar that week and had to take weeks off!!!! haha)

I was thrilled on super bowl sunday when i got a call from Josh saying that him and Kate wanted me to shoot their wedding in November!!!!

So on one of his only breaks from tour, we hit downtown Santa Monica....and pwn'd it.

it was Hot (right paris....i mean, Josh.)

Rocket Some More-

2008-03-25T13:08:00.000-07:00

friday, i got a new baby in the mail. brendon has deemed it the "death lens".
i owned up, and bought a 35mm 1.4 L series bad boy! and wow....is it FUN.

i broke it in up in Bakersfield on saturday night!

kelsea and i did an interview with Bryce of the Rocket Summer for a partners at inklings.tv!!!
then i got to shoot his set! awesome time.

here's a teaser from that night....

at the end of the night, i had a geeky moment.
i showed bryce an old photo that they use on their myspace, and he realized he knew who i was.
he shared how much he liked my work, and i was super honored.
it's always great to hear that the people you are serving, appreciate what you do!!!

i'll let you know when all the stuff get's posted over on their site!!!
(it'll be exclusive!!!!)

head there now to check out all they're up too. and you can check out their archive's for stuff we've done in the past!!!

DIZMAS tour WEEKEND-extrava-GANZA

2008-03-25T12:47:00.000-07:00

so in between the UNA weekend and this DIZMAS tour i did a few photo shoots for albums. but i still can't show that stuff. at least i don't think i can.

but when i can, you'll be seeing stuff.

back to DIZMAS (which were one of the bands i has lucky enough to shoot with).
these guys have been my friends for about 4 years or so. that story is long, and funny, and starts with Zach and i randomly meeting in Nashville.

so we've been trying to hook up for a tour project for some time, and FINALLY our dates matched and i took off with them. we hit up their home town of Lancaster, and then headed east for two shows in Arizona!

Josh got me addicted to LOST. which has consummed MUCH of my life over the past week-and-a-half.

let's hear it for Jack Shepard!!!!!

UNA at HUME

2008-03-25T12:36:00.000-07:00

wow, almost a month ago, my friends in the band UNA brought me up to Hume Lake. they all had at one time been camp leaders, worship leaders or something up at that Camp, and this weekend were the guest worship band.

they asked me to come along and document leading worship, playing in the snow, and even tracking a few songs in Hume's snazzy recording studio.

for Danae...

2008-03-25T12:32:00.000-07:00

one of my closest friends has been riding me to make new posts. and she's totally right, that i've been slacking.

no excuse, i am sorry, but let me "splain" somethin' to you...
a few of the shoots i've had the privilege of working on, are for albums and promo stuff for bands. so i can't really post anything from those events.

but i have fallen behind on other things.
my apologies.

i'll make a few posts today with the most recent stuff. sorry for the shoots that don't make it to "blog life" but i guess, you'll live.

so enjoy the new posts coming today (especially you nae!)

fun with light

2008-03-13T17:17:00.000-07:00

last week my buddy chad let me use his lighting kit for the sever your ties shoot. then that lucky jerk got to go to SXSW in Texas. to try and make myself feel a little better, i asked to borrow his lights while he was away. he said yes.

today, i'm playing. people are coming over late afternoon, and tonight, so we're gonna experiment.

this is what got this afternoon.

oh, tomorrow i head out on the road with Dizmas till monday......
woopie!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

2008-03-11T10:50:00.001-07:00

let's all sing....happy birthday to Jered Scott Photo......happy birthday to Jered Scott Photo!!!!

so the actual day was the 8th, but i was out of town, away from computers, so TODAY we celebrate!!!
one year old! wow. i thought i had many more months until this day came.
the year just flew by. but it sure was great.

we did a look back at the year for Jan. 1st, so i won't re-run that (but check out that post in the JAN. tab)

but i will share my cupcakes with you.

(leave a birthday wish if you READ THIS)
and leave your name/email so we can be friends.

happy birthday to any of you who were/are a part of this!

this cupcake is for you....

SYT

2008-03-05T23:27:00.000-08:00

sorry for the disappearance people! my bad yo....

i've been around, working, playing, i saw some movies, edited, played lego star wars, and did some shoots.

today, i got to spend the day with Sever Your Ties. we shot promo stuff for their debut release on Tooth and Nail coming this July.

i love mistake photos. ones where you capture them in between poses, or when people are doing something weird....or i just don't frame it correctly.

this shot from today is a little teaser...
hope you enjoy.

we'll be seeing you all soon. lots more to come!!!!

sorry, so sorry

2008-02-14T21:17:00.000-08:00

not just a good song, but also my apologies. i've been super busy, but that is no excuse for my slacking. last week i shot not once, not twice, but thrice...(not that band...yet).

tuesday i did a shoot for Goodie Two Sleeves. Gabe had me working for their trade show in Las Vegas (where i was this week!)

on wednesday, i shot for dizmas's new and upcoming album. we traveled around all day and had such a blast! (thanks to my best bud jonny who was here helping me for two days!!!)

saturday my buddies from sever your ties were back in the area, so we hung out and shot some more!

and monday, i took off for vegas. i ate sushi for the first time, and i rode in a limo for the first time!!! what a last few couple of weeks.
God is too gracious.

thanks for checkin it out.
i'm leaving tomorrow morning for Hume Lake for a couple days with UNA. next week i get to hang with a pro skater and get some shots of that buiz....
sever your ties photo shoot may be coming up....and some more with some bands???
stay tuned!

my friend

2008-01-29T19:25:00.000-08:00

i'm a lucky dude.
not only am i loving what i get to do these days...but i get to spend quality time with the people i love the most.

this is one of them. one of my besties....jon miller.
his mustache is taking a leave of absence, so in honor....we shot a few to remember the bad boy.

i love this guy so much

sever your ties

2008-01-28T20:34:00.000-08:00

last week was a total joy. i was utterly surprised to watch something i rarely see anymore....a unique band play a totally fun and original set! 2 nights in a row.

enter, sever your ties. this hardcore band based out of san diego really brings a show to town. as one of their shirts says they "kick out the jams!" not only are they musically incredible, they are hilarious and way to full of energy.

please enjoy them. you'd better....because i hope to enjoy them for years to come...and you'll hopefully be seeing that!

such fun dudes. phenominal music. raw talent.
just click here
to check them out.

last week

2008-01-22T10:41:00.001-08:00

last week i had a real photographer day. first, i met and hung out with a new friend. Emma.
she is a working actress in hollyweird....and she was so lovely to drive down and hang out with me in my neck of the LA woods.

after that shoot, my buddy jason and i drove out to San Dimas (bill and ted anyone?....anyone?)
we did the whole lighting set up (thanks to i shot chad) and did a shoot with the men of Ama Radio.

what day

this is my 101st POST

2008-01-15T16:38:00.000-08:00

so, i'm in encinitas California right now. at some wicked sweet recording studio. some random bands have recorded here like homegrown, buck o' nine, P.O.D., blink 182, switchfoot and now....Lakes.
i'm here for day two, and it's pretty wicked sweet. the two tracks the guys are working on (along with producer Drew Shirley of Switchfoot) are amazing. i'm excited for you all to get the chance to hear from them.

plus, yours truly is on the recording some....
you'll see.

Tumbledown: Take Two

2008-01-14T10:57:00.000-08:00

(now all the T's?)
last week i met up with Mike, Harley, Jack and Marshall in Hollywood. they played a gig at the old Knitting Factory at the tail end of their 2nd tour.

before their set we cruised around downtown and found some places to shoot.

after their sweet set, lexi and i headed up to San Francisco, to Tumbledown's show with Social Distortion!!!! mike made fun of me, cause i had never listened to Social D. but man were they amazing.
this was such a rad show, and rad opportunity for the guys.

i'll post more later...or link you to tumbledown's myspace.
check them out by the way. www.myspace.com/tumbledowncountry

i need to go pack for San Diego. Lakes is recording. i'm gonna go hang out.
you'll see it soon.

and i have some other shoots to post, and lots coming up!
look out 2008.......here we come!

skater bra...

2008-01-06T00:06:00.000-08:00

yo dudes.
the other day (before all the rain hit) brendon and his friends brought me to this super sweet secret skate spot. (like all those 'S' words?)

anyway...these dudes know how to shred the gnar.

98th post = 1st of the NEW YEAR

2008-01-01T01:12:00.000-08:00

so i'm not one for "new year's resolutions," unless we're talking about digital photo editing! (all my photo nerds got it! ha).

but i will say this, 2007 was by far my favorite year yet. maybe we'll take a quick stroll through it with pictures.
i traveled the globe. italy, dominican republic, chicago, seattle, utah, portland.

launched my very own first web-site!!!
i was fortunate enough to meet lots of great bands like mxpx, maylene, anberlin, sherwood

i was blessed to work lots of cool shows like underoath, rise against, the format, demon hunter, rocket summer, hellogoodbye, switchfoot, relient k, lagwagon, lakes

i went on my first photo tours with Avner and Tumbledown!

i made a few new super close friends.
i was privilaged to intern and teach at Rock Harbor.
i got to find my passion and calling.
and i finished up my college career at Biola University.

what a life. 2007 was filled with laughter (some louder than others...nae), tears, growth, understanding, challenges, triumphs and failures. i stepped out into a larger world and was greeted with open arms. what a life.

i am so blessed to be doing life in such a unique and creative way!!! man....
thank you all for the support, for being a part of my beginings, the grass-roots.
2008...bring it on! No tears or fears!!! (eh Kat?)

lets' do this!!!
(here is me ringing in the new year last night with my homies! dancing the night away!!!)

(maybe i'll post my favorite photos of 2007 soon)

thanks again to all who are part of this! love you all, and i really am excited to see what 2008 brings us all.

Merry Christmas 2007

2007-12-25T22:12:00.000-08:00

Once a year, the best celebration comes around. Some are awesome enough to celebrate 8 crazy nights (right nicole? did anyone else hear that parakeet?)

This year i got the chance to be with just my parents. my sister was with her husband and our extended family in Chicago, so we just bummed around the house together.

And in these times, i am able to sit and reflect. i'll do more come the new year, but for now i am quite thankful for all the love that surrounds us each day. how lucky i am to have all of you in my life. those friends who i know in real life, and those of you that come to the blog and just share life with me.

i hope santa was good to you. hope that you drank lots of 'nog, and watched Jingle all the Way or Home Alone 2. (i did both).

Merry Christmas my friends.

yesterday (friday) i was truly blessed to have friends willing to drive 3 hours to shoot their engagement session.

i am home visiting my parents in San Luis Obispo, for the holidays. Jorjia and i decided this would be the perfect place to shoot their shots. (jorjia came up here with me and some friends during my first semester at Biola!!!) so her and brian drove up and we spent the whole afternoon shooting.

what a treat. they were so fun, so comfortable and so incredible to be around.
shooting their wedding in August is going to be an absolute treat.

jonny and erin!

2007-12-21T00:25:00.000-08:00

as we wandered around and they told me stories, we snapped a few shots.

sorry to all my friends and family who've been checking in. i am still alive. just haven't had much time to shoot or post. i've been trying to finish up my college career. last week i got real sick (boo hoo for me) and this week i've been in finals. i am almost done. too much studying.
soon i will not have classes to worry about, and i'll devote all my time to you bloggers!

as you can see, i'm a little delerious from the study time....hence the photo....but it's good.

and i'm growing a total COP-stache!!!!!

told you...trash-stache

then on Thursday i met the MxPx guys in Hollywood at the Key Club where they were the guests at a battle of the bands. we had a good hang, sang some Cooties songs, and i tried to make the best of a bad set up (crowd, lights, stage...im a baby!)

parents

2007-11-28T14:19:00.000-08:00

sometimes, i am lucky enough to stop, collect my thoughts and gather all that i am truly blessed with.
#1 is usually secured by my parents. over the years as our relationship has grown, i have seen the postive affect they have not only on my life, but all the lives around me. from affecting my closest friends, to a few that only come to our house for a weekend. the lasting impression they leave is always one of love.

for that i am truly thankful. and lucky.

love-

switchfoot...

2007-11-28T01:21:00.000-08:00

New Found Glory - Glass House

2007-11-20T23:39:00.000-08:00

tonight, through my new friends in MxPx, i got the chance to shoot a few songs during New Found Glory's first night at the Glass House in Pamona.

what a ragger-
it was really fun.

3 songs always seems like a blur, and the band gets way more into the set by the end...so it's sort of a bummer....
but whatever. i still had a blast.
they played 4 songs off the new cover album, and i got to see my photographer friend Bernard (hi bernard!)

anyway...
here's what i got for you!

saturday shoot....

2007-11-20T16:13:00.000-08:00

on saturday, i did my first "team up" with Kat, for a fun shoot.
she was in charge of hair, make-up and wardrobe, as well as convincing our two friends, to be our guinea pigs for a shoot.

i drove us to a location, and we shot.

way fun.
here are the results!!!

just some fun...

Tumbledown - Fullerton

2007-11-15T02:02:00.000-08:00

tonight was my last night with Tumbledown. Back down to my current home area, at the Alley in Fullerton.

after a day in traffic, we made it into town where we did our last little photo shoot.

then after cruising around town, eating food, and enjoying our friends in other bands, i got to see the band play for my last time.

tonight was a longer set, including a bunch of rare mxpx songs mike performed like Let it Happen, Quit your Life and Rock n' Roll girl. it was another amazing evening.

wow.

just a million thank yous to Harley, Marshall, Jack and Mike. what a week. just simply incredible.
talented bros who just dominate the barn burnin'!!!!

thanks again dudes!

Tumbledown - San Luis Obispo

2007-11-15T01:52:00.000-08:00

Homeward Bound......not just what i got to do, but also a Tumbledown song.

tuesday, me and Tumbledown ventured up the coast to my hometown!
tumbledown played Downtown Brew in SLO. wow, what a show.

they opened up for The Almost (hi friends!) to an almost sold out crowd! really fun time.

after the set, the dudes did some gambling in good ole' bubble gum alley. little dice, little c-lo, little money exchanging hands.

the night finished up with us heading to a buddies hotel room for a late night folk session.
(then we crashed out at my house!)

coming...

2007-11-14T10:21:00.000-08:00

so i'm at my parents house.
Tumbledown played SLO last night with The Almost.
really great time.

Tumbledown - Long Beach

2007-11-13T02:32:00.000-08:00

what a night! tonight Tumbledown played Long Beach, we ate some great pasta (thanks jess), and mike and i played Guitar Hero 3.....what could be better?

tonight, the Prospector got it's boots knocked off.
wow.
not only was tonight a late show (the guys played at 11pm!!!) it was possibly twice as awesome as yesterdays!

i can't believe i still have two more days of fun.

great set tonight, lots of fun people out, and a few new tunes thrown in the set.

enjoy.....

p.s. yesterday my blog got it's most hits for a day...78!

tumbledown - The Hotel Cafe

2007-11-12T01:33:00.000-08:00

so tonight, i was at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood with Tumbledown.

wow, what a set.
they were amazingly fun. just toe-tapping, good ole' rockin, country music.
the close, intimate setting of a darkened club just added to the evening.

as the guys took the stage, they broke the ice with a tumbledown song, followed by a new MxPx track.
throughout the night, Mike sprinkled some MxPx fav's as well as some that aren't ever played in the set.

everyone in the crowd sang along and were more excited than i have seen people at shows in awhile.

check em out over at (myspace.com/tumbledowncountry)

Mike and the guys were willing to cruise with me for a few minutes to do a shoot. guess we'll be doing a few of these over the next few days.

see ya soon- i hope....Long Beach, SLO and Fullerton.... next few days! get there!!!

oh the things of L.A.

2007-11-09T20:13:00.000-08:00

today, i ventured in, to and through Los Angeles with my buddy ole' pal...Libby.

we haven't seen each other since she graduated in May. so this hang was a long time a comin'.
in our adventures, we visited the Griffith Observatory (of which neither of us had ever been too).
during our time we learned how much we weighed on the moon, what the suns layers were like, and how many earths you could fit in Uranus (hahaha. seriously.) on our drive down, we saw a wild coyote. she looked just like my puppy, roxi.

then, libby wanted to get her nose pierced, so we hit up none other than dirty Hollywood to do so.
that was fun. her "piercer" was a really fun guy.

while making our way back to the free way, i FINALLY stopped in and ate at the world famous "PINKS hotdogs!"
that ruled.

so, after a few days of no posts, here you are.
(and get ready for an onslaught of stuff comin' at you like crazy kung fu punches next week)
trust me.

wedding!!!

2007-11-03T22:35:00.001-07:00

today, i was the 2nd shooter for my friend Karey Michelle. She's awesome! (and that's mark from Una. he was "3rd" shooter)
The fun piece was, i was shooting for my friend Casey! Casey and i led a small group of Sr. Dudes last year, and we also spent a week in the Dominican Republic this summer.
it was quite awesome to document their occasion. especially on the beach!
scary thing is that i sort of liked shooting weddings! ahhhhh.

(let me know what you think. your comment MAY mold my future!!!!)

UNA

2007-11-01T23:20:00.000-07:00

this bands rocks my foot ware off!
wow.
tonight, the dudes played a rad show on campus.
prior to blowing peoples faces ...off.....we went on a little excursion.
on our trip, we were forced to take an alternate route, which accidently dropped us where we did a little photo shoot.
these are some immediate fav's.

today, after shooting some photos, i traded in the camera for a 9mm Glock.
we met up with my dad around 3:30, and we shots ourselves some guns at Range Masters in SLO.
i'd never shot a gun before, so it was quite interesting.
after the initial shock of the loud sounds and harsh kick back, i got the hang of it.

here are a few shots from our fun.
(if you look closely you can see the fire coming out of the gun, and the bullet casing discharging from the chamber!!!)

and this is my target. he's mad cause i shot his face on my first try!

after bowling class, where in one of my games i bowled an entire game with only one frame that wasn't a spare or a strike! wooo...
where was i, oh....after class Karissa, Danae and i hit the town.
we had lunch, watched Arrested Development, ate dinner, saw The Bourne Ultimatium and in the midst of all this....caught some fun tennis photos.
these ladies are way too fun, so it's no wonder the photos are fun too.......

more lakes and mxpx

2007-10-06T23:09:00.000-07:00

so after a long day of no internet....and playing at nickel nickel with my bud's danae and karissa (where we won a golden axe!), i thought i'd post a few more of our photo shoot pictures.
in the next day or so, i'll probably post some show ones (although there are very few) and some randoms from the night.

how was your saturday?

p.s. if you leave a commet, leave your email so i can correspond with you! (p.s.s. correspond is just a fancy way to say "talk with you"

mxpx and lakes

2007-10-06T02:03:00.000-07:00

tonight...finally....i feel that one part of my life was completed! haha.
i got to interview (officially) Tom, from MxPx. then, i got like 15 minutes with the guys all to myself, to do our own little photo shoot! yeah....i got to do a shoot with mxpx! haha, wow.
(thanks to Tommy "rat", James, and the mxpx guys; mike, tom and yuri!)

tonight was rad though. got to shoot, got to hang, got to see Lakes (yeah to seth, jacob, simon, jason and ladies...especially arabella!!!)

ashley marino and the best blog ever!!!!

2007-10-04T23:35:00.000-07:00

today, kristi, ashley and i made our way out into La Mirada to shoot once again.
we tried our hand at one spot, but i just couldn't make it work. kristi had to leave for a family vacation, and ashley and i headed back....BUT...we spotted some spot, that we almost passed right by. (did i spotted a spot?) anyway...we decided to use it, and BOY oh BOY am i extremely pumped. this random junk spot was ridiculously amaza-tron! so good. Ashley really is a natural in front of the lens, if i can say so.

these are easily some of my favorite shots i've gotten to shoot over the last year!

i don't even need to tell you to enjoy these....

(these photos were edited, while listening to the new Dashboard Confessional album, "The Shade of Poison Trees" which is a FREAKING amazing record. this was made possible by my radical friend Kelsea....who will be working with me tomorrow to interview Lakes and MxPx!!! WOO HOOO!!!)

wonderful wednesdays

2007-10-03T20:52:00.000-07:00

today i got to spend the evening with my lovely friend, Josh and Amanda Auer.
Amanda needed help shooting some images for her soon to launch, new site...inthenowweddings.com.
she's a wedding/event planner, and freakin amazing if i can add (while she does the typical amanda, CHER rip-off hair toss over her shoulders!) she design's incredible things, like these invites to a baby shower, and all the little details that accompany...

after eating amazing california burritos at Albert Tacos' (carne asada, french fries, cheese, sour-cream) josh showed me new songs that he's written for his rock n' roll band, Avner.
this dude is so talented, it might even ellude him.

here's a few shots of amanda's stuff.

another 'for fun' shoot.
yesterday, we kicked it for 20 mins or so and got some rad shots before lossing the sun. you can expect to see lots more of these ladies from me soon.
they are so fun to capture. their style is loud and fun, and their attitudes really make for fun compositions.

woop woop-

maylene and the sons of disaster

2007-09-30T01:23:00.000-07:00

insane. is that the best word? probably.
i had no idea what to expect coming into this afternoon. i thought it would just be another typical hard-core band. but was I WRONG!!!
these southern boys, from alabama....sure bring some interesting Rock to the stage.
in between the constant berrage of free t-shirts, spitting, and taking things from kids in the crowd, maylene delivers some heavy music with amazing southern flare.
dallas (lead singer, and EX-lead singer of Underoath!) left the stage a few times....to run around the crowd, let them take over on lead vocals, and to crowd surf/wrestle a fan while crowd surfing.
these guys were incredible, and their hearts are evident.
i met dallas after the show, which ruled....and i even got a picture of him with one of my high school students, Matt Onesto! (HI MATT!!!)
wow. amazing, silly, hard band.

underoath

these guys are amazing. really talented. wow. i waited all of two days to get to see these guys play. this was my first time, in being a fan for 2 years, that i've caught their show.
worth the wait. especially being in front of hundreds of screaming crazies....with security guards watchin my back.
great set, great guys....great time.

Dizmas

funny story with these boys in dizmas....
a few years ago, i actually met them in nashville, then tried out for their band back here in CA!
they are amazing dudes, and was really pumped to have the chance to be a part of their band in this way.
todays shows was outdoors, for Cornerstone's first west coast festival. the guys brought the rock, the dance, and the comedy. great time, GREAT music, and great friends.

(pronounced like car car)

Gary Westmoreland (spelling?) is a Senior this year, out in Huntington beach.
He also is one of my students at the church i intern with.
There, he weekly brings the shred, as the guitar player on the worship team.
he's an ambitious little guy, with a huge heart.
i also had the chance not only to spend a week serving with him in the Dominican Republic, but also sharing a room!!!

we traveld to some spots that had special meaning to gary on our day out, as well as just hunted for some new places.

fun was had. cars were driven. pictures were taken.
gary rules. mega-hard.
