Many thanks to Angela & Benz for being good sports about shooting in a rare, gloomy and rainy day in L.A. Can’t thank my good friend Jen Woodward enough for lending her styling expertise to make everyone look amazing on our shoestring budget. Also wanted to thank my buddy Christina von Messling for helping out as a photo assistant.

Just had a very relaxing honeymoon in the tropical town of Zihuantanejo, Mexico. If you’ve never heard of it, the town is on the south-western edge of the country, about 150 miles north from Acapulco. It’s a gorgeous area, super lush and green and the people there are incredibly friendly. Food was great for the most part, but the three highlights for me was the coconut shrimp at Lety’s, the chile rellenos I learned to make from Monica, and definitely the two black fin tuna I caught at the end of the trip that was served to me as a ceviche and also grilled. If you need a place to unplug from the world, Zihuantanejo is a remarkable place to do so.

This is kind of an intangible goal, so I’m going to put it here on my blog in hopes that I can fulfill it here through images. But I want to challenge myself to become more curious and also more adventurous with my camera. I’ve been working a few projects lately that while challenging in production, are also in my safe zone in terms of subject matter. Not sure what I’m going to do to see this through, but hopefully by posting this I’ll be able to start the process of figuring it out.

Suna rocking the Wu-Tang.
