Tacos de Carnitas

Seriously nothing better than fresh homemade tortillas and carnitas.

Shot for @lagonzalezmarket @dripandculture

Shot using a @canonusa 5D Mark II with a @sigmaphoto 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM

Lighting used was a Canon speedlite triggered remotely + a 36” white umbrella from @promasterphoto

Trying something new and sharing camera info and settings on the second slide.

One of my biggest goals this year has been closing the gap between what I plan in my mood boards and what actually comes out in the final product — especially on live event and docu-style projects where you can’t control everything.
This one was for the academy, collaborating with Marshon — a high school senior building a leadership program for kids in his community in Waukegan. The results on projects like this can vary a lot from what you planned. But I love getting 80, 90, 95% of the way there.
I think I got pretty close on this one.
The goal was never to copy what I see on the internet. It’s to have a reference, have an idea, and get it in the frame if it serves the story.

Today I’m learning to be open up…

I lost my camera recently, and it really made me realize just how much change and adventure has entered my life in this last year — it feels like it’s just been transition after transition for the last 13-14 months and I’ve wanted to capture every minute of it

My most recent set of experiences have really challenged me to open up, I’m the type who wants to keep things close to the chest when they matter or I’m insecure or I’m feeling vulnerable about a change — but recently I’ve allowed myself to tell those I’m close too about things I’m excited about even before it’s set in stone, to ask questions that could make relationships change, to be present in moments where I can’t do anything but be there — I’m happy that I was able to do it this time, after years of pretending not to care, or making jokes about the things I feel deeply about, and avoiding conflict and sincerity at all costs, for the first time I’m strong enough to stand in the discomfort. And as a result I’ve been able to cultivate real connection with the people around me, not just pleasant moments.

Today I’m regaining control…

I’ve been off balance these last few weeks since coming back home. Distracted, slow, moderately disciplined.

I’m learning that’s a part of the game though, through the lack of balance I’ve found new people, new experiences, I’ve stumbled into new realizations about myself and what I want from life.

Same mission — just developing new eyes to look at it I guess.

As temptation rolls in — as conflict comes around the corner — as side quests knock on my door — for the first time it’s not as hard to resist — the distractions only re affirm what I want to do, who I want to be, where I’m trying to go — I feel like I can trust myself, like I’m finally transitioning from a boy, to the man I want to be

But the best thing, as usual, are the people I’m meeting along the way — even if it’s for just a short season — I love the people that are coming into my life recently!

Today im in awe…

I often don’t feel the call of my camera when im out, when your life revolves around cameras, they often feel more like a distraction than a gift — mostly because my standard for what I wanted to capture was too high — I wanted my depiction of the moment to be perfect, spectacular even — for this trip I had the intention to let go of this perfectionism and just capture what I saw, whatever spoke to me. I now had no excuse I had a small camera and a way to capture the little moments seamlessly — but oh my god did I run into a different problem — awe — every corner, every meal, every location, and most surprising, every person we came across was beyond what I could have even imagined — south korea is truly a beautiful country — I see why theres so much pride in it — if it wasn’t for my travel partner I may not have captured any of it — truly just beautiful — counting the days for when I can go back and find more

So, ive spent the last week struggling to decide how to show off what I experienced in Korea — it didn’t just exceed my expectations, it set a new bar for how a place could make me feel as a traveler.

I captured a lot — way more than I can post here — so what do you post? what makes sense? For me, its a collection of moments that left me asking “where the hell are we” — 123 stories up, a monument to design in a busy city, and most impactful, connection, with some beautiful people

I often don’t feel the call of my camera when im out, when your life revolves around cameras, they often feel more like a distraction than a gift — mostly because my standard for what I wanted to capture was too high — I wanted my depiction of the moment to be perfect, spectacular even — for this trip I had the intention to let go of this perfectionism and just capture what I saw, whatever spoke to me. I now had no excuse I had a small camera and a way to capture the little moments seamlessly — but oh my god did I run into a different problem — awe — every corner, every meal, every location, and most surprising, every person we came across was beyond what I could have even imagined — south korea is truly a beautiful country — I see why theres so much pride in it — if it wasn’t for my travel partner I may not have captured any of it — truly just beautiful — counting the days for when I can go back and find more

So, ive spent the last week struggling to decide how to show off what I experienced in Korea — it didn’t just exceed my expectations, it set a new bar for how a place could make me feel as a traveler.

I captured a lot — way more than I can post here — so what do you post? what makes sense? For me, its a collection of moments that left me asking “where the hell are we” — 123 stories up, a monument to design in a busy city, and most impactful, connection, with some beautiful people

Today I’m grateful for movement…

For the last 2 weeks I have been stuck in bed unable to do anything I normally do stressing over projects and the biggest trip overseas that I’ve taken in a while — as I get my footing back still recovering I’m finding myself being grateful for the ability to sweat, to feel the strength in my body, to be able to push myself again.

I feel I’ve always been decently grateful for this stuff but man nothing like losing it for a little bit to really remember to savor every moment of having an able body — I’m also grateful for movement in my endeavors, friends who fire me up, career moves that are helping me grow, and just movement in terms of my own character development, im starting to see the fruits of my labor in little ways, how I talk, how I react, how I plan, how I reason — slowly but surely I’m moving towards what I desire.

Had a blast learning more this last week as I completed my last project before a much needed vacation — love learning as much as I can from people with such strong creative voices and ideas — people like @day.shifu are even starting to convince me to tap into narrative and experimental filmmaking in the future lol!

Had a blast learning more this last week as I completed my last project before a much needed vacation — love learning as much as I can from people with such strong creative voices and ideas — people like @day.shifu are even starting to convince me to tap into narrative and experimental filmmaking in the future lol!

Today I learned what a wisteria flower was…

Speed is key in a lot of aspects of life, but theres a difference between going smoothly and forcing movement — taking shortcuts, half understanding, half doing — rushing toward outcomes is the quickest way to stay stuck at a medium good level —

slow is smooth and smooth is fast

So im learning to take it slow — 10 years to master cinematography, 4 years to get good at board climbing — when you eat sit back in the middle of it and take in your environment, when you walk take slow strides, look at a beetle on the ground, smile at those walking past you, speak slowly and clearly, move with intention and experience whatever pace your at to the fullest, the more consistently you can do things slowly and smoothly the faster you will become.

On another hand, learning to focus my true attention on a few outcomes, allowing other less important things to be side projects or hobbies until they can have my full attention, I cannot be everything to everyone in everything everywhere all at once if I had to put it in a sentence — when its time to eat, eat - when its time to relax, relax - when it is time to grind, grind hard - when it is time to create, lose yourself completely

Today’s lesson was inspired by @zoeshoresnavata — also the flowers in this post are not wisteria’s lol

Today I’m learning to turn up the volume…

I always used to get in trouble in class for talking — most of my childhood I couldn’t keep my mouth shut tbh —however it wasn’t wall sits in Sunday school or the trips to the hallway in class that stopped me from yapping, I chose too

I just learned a few things toward the end of high school:

1. I can’t trust everyone with every part of me
2. I should think more before I speak
3. I was very emotionally reactive

These among other things caused me a lot of trouble and heartache — I really focused on gaining control — of my thoughts — of my emotions, or at least my reaction to them — of my words — unfortunately my first attempt was half baked — it wasn’t quite suppression just a new set of habits aimed at stoicism essentially…

Not reacting to problems aggressively — being sarcastic in my humor — muting my scarier less agreeable emotions — and overall this control over my actions was good and maybe even essential to be in the career and spaces that I’m in — however there was a flipside — I turned down passion and intensity in all domains — I wasn’t giving my all to anything — because you can’t give your all and not express real emotions — saying that awkward thing, laughing at that stupid interaction, dancing in the climbing gym when I finally make progress, bobbing my head when I’m listening to music in the car or the gym, panting hard, grunting, trying, really hard is loud as fuck, and I was avoiding that in order to be in control, as a result I lost a lot of connection with people, I couldn’t understand why at the time but people can kind of smell it on you,actually people often still tell me they can’t tell what I’m feeling lol…

Their are few domains that I really am passionate about — I shouldn’t turn down the intensity at all — even more than expression of what I feel intensity in the things I’m doing is part of it — when its time to cry really let it out —when something crosses the line really fighting back — when someone connects with me diving in — not acting impulsively of course — but when it counts really giving things my all in expression and my action…
