Love getting out into the environment of LA. The Dio de los Muertos at Forever Hollywood Cemetery is a great example of this. What a variety of LA tradition, ethnicity, and crazy and everyone at this event seems to love having their photo taken. It gives me the chance to do what I love to do, walk around and shoot what catches my eye. It is a blend of my vision and what is happening. The photos at night really excite me because I can play with the lighting a lot more, with dramatic results. Shooting this way allows me to do things on the spur of the moment that I can later incorporate into my assignment work.
It was also an opportunity for me to work with my son Colin and have our images published in LA Weekly. We are able to work on a few projects together now and then, which is awesome.
