Pictures and projects


This is one of the pictures from the shoot I did with Faustohernandez.com  (more pics here: http://www.faustohernandez.com/photos/hannys/ ) Let me tell you that this was one of the most interesting places that I have had the opportunity to shoot in.  It was very modern and so fun.  The restaurant is called Hannys Bar and it is in Phoenix.  I LOVED it and hope to shoot there again.  I at least plan on going for some champagne cocktails- hehe.
I also have some winter pictures that I will be posting soon from my shoot with Rapid Ice Photography.  I'm working on some video ideas for the Phoenix Comicon and just paired with  a production company and will be doing a very large amount of projects- ranging from photoshoots to webisodes, feature films, comics, etc.  I will be talking a LOT about it in the near future.  It's an amazing opportunity!

Fw: Good news and more good news

So much good, awesome, amazing news- be careful! Your head might explode!!!
First, we walked outside to start the day to the smell of fresh rain! I had my new comfy sweater and high boots on so I was super warm, and it smelled sooo good outside. Then, while Christmas shopping I found the PERFECT dude gift- Bacon Chocolate. For real- smoked bacon paired with dark chocolate. *drool*
It then starting POURING rain and I got to run through it and jump in puddles! It was so much fun!

--on a side note---just got word that Ill be working on another awesome project w/a great and talented group of people. This is gonna knock your socks off.
Also- my shoot yesterday went great. Check out Fausto Hernandez photography. I can't wait to see and post pics from this one :). The pic is of me in one of the vanity spots in the buildings hall of mirrors--- it was an intense location to say the least!

woweeee

It's been a while my friends!  I have been carried away with the holiday shopping craze, mostly online, and have not done much on any social networking sites. 
Let's change that.  I have a new netbook that I plan on using when I make my trips out to Burbank.  That way, I can stay connected when away from home.  It is a necessary evil.  I am now with an acting studio so I will be traveling 1ce or 2ce a month to Burbank for workshops and even more whenever an audition is held. 
I am now working with the Phoenix Comicon!!  I will be doing promoting- web videos, interviews with the artists, and much more.  They have lots of information on the site (http://www.phoenixcomicon.com/), including a growing list of guests!!  Felicia day from "The Guild" and "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" was announced and we are VERY excited to have her, along with many other fabulous people join us this year. 
I will let you know when I post any videos or interviews and will provide links on my twitter as well.  I may also start another blog specifically for the phx con.  I will keep you all updated.

Don't drown in the holiday madness- reach up above the enticing sales and grab on to some good old fashioned hot cocoa and sit by a fire.

Hole in 1 !!

Meaning of course...that there are going to be photos from 3 events in this post.  It makes perfect sense.  I don't know why you would be confused.....moving on...
Saturday, November 14th, I worked on a music video with AZ Bay pictures.  It was for the band "Access Zero" and it was an absolute blast. Filming started at about 9 am and was set to continue until about 7pm.  I had to leave at 530 pm though so I am not sure what time they completely wrapped for the day.  It was shot in an abandoned wing in a hospital and you better believe I went off and did some exploring on my own.  It was definately creepy but really interesting.  Let me know if you want to see any hospital pics...
The 1st makeup I got was a bit too bloody...so as you can see we had to remove it...and then start over.  It was fun, yet, itchy and the smell was NASTY. bleah.
Next up was my trip to Burbank!  After the filming, I had 1 day of rest (haha--not completely) before I had to get to California to meet with a casting director and attend a workshop.  We drove from 8am to 330pm before I got an hour break for my meeting.  By the time I was finished, I had a 2 and a half hour break before the workshop. I decided to meet with a friend 15 miles away for dinner.  Californa traffic, howerver, had me stuck in the car.  By the time we met up, I had my friend hop in the car, and we drove right back to the studio.  I had 0 time out of the car and no time for dinner  :(  luckily, at 1 that afternoon, I stopped for some lunch with the dinosaurs.

Raaaawr! Long month so far! There is so much I have gotten to do, so many projects in the works, and lots of sleepless nights. Yesterday at 8 am I left for Burbank. We stopped for some lunch (yum- Burger King). There were dinosaurs!! I've never seen Pee Wee's big adventure, but I hear that's what they are from. :). Then, I went to AIA studios, had an audition and then 2 hours later got to attend a workshop w/some wonderfully talented actors and casting director. By the time the class was out and I got to a friends to sleep, it was already 1230. I missed dinner completely, but it was worth it. I got to sleep until 4 and now I'm on my way back home. 900 miles in 24 hours, dinosaurs, 3.5 hours of sleep and 2 reads for LA casting directors. Not bad. :).
Also, I worked w/ AZ Bay pictures on Saturday, filming for a new music video. Ill have pictures and more information up 1ce I get to a computer!!!

speedy quick like a bunny!





I only have a few minutes so I'll give you a super quick overview of my week until I get some more time tonight or tomorrow.  I have had such an interesting, busy, fun time. 
The days sort of run together but duing the week I accomplished tons.  I got my headshots printed and sent out to Burbank which was great, considering I have a meeting/audition/workshop there next Tuesday.  I drove to Tucson (100miles), got locked in a bathroom at a book store, drove back to do 5 hours of work, back to Tucson for the Comic con, and then back home all within about 30 hours.  400 miles, 2 tanks of gas and lots of fun.  The bathroom thing was really funny though.  I love how sometimes the most unexpected things can happen and they just brighten your day.  The attendant kept apologizing through the door, and I just sat on the sink and laughed and laughed.  How often does that happen?  Luckily it was a 1 person restroom and was suprisingly nice- and didn't stink (phew!).
The comic con was amazing.  Unfortunately I only got to spend 2 hours there but I got to visit with the artists, get some great art, and wonder around.  I apologize to all of you that missed me.  Next year I will be a part of the promoting as well and will make sure that I am there the entire day so you can come say "Hi" and visit :) 
I'll go into more detail later but here are some pics!

A GIANT Thank you to S. Pierre Price for the headshots.  Here are a few--  I would post more but because of the size of the files they take a very long time to load :)
