"Thru my eyes” is a series of random photographs taken with various cameras to capture the moment the way I see them. This series is a way for me to continue to grow as a photographer and share with the world my views “Thru my eyes.”

Photo Shoot: Tyler Solis-Cook

Location: All shoots, taken at their Home. (Studio set-up in their home)
Flickr Album Website: Tyler Solis-Cook Set

This was the first time I did a photo shoot with a baby, being only 3 months old Tyler Solis-Cook gave me a new respect for professionals that have the time & patiences to capture great photos time in and time out. Having the advantage of the baby being in a comfortable setting, I was lucky to have all the shots taken on location. I had a wonderful time and I can't wait to do it again.

Here is one of my Fav's. Please check out my Flickr site for more pics.

Movie Review 4: Iron Man 2 or Avengers Pilot?!?

5/7 Iron Man 2 (SCORE 76/100)

The second movie in a line of a probable 5 part super hero series was a little off from is great debut. With the first Iron Man setting a high bar, the second seemed more on building a story to lead its highly anticipated Avengers movie. The Movie still had the Blitz and Special effects that made the First one so great and Robert Downy Jr. didn't lose a step as the Ego First Tony Stark. All in all the movie had some great "WOW" moments, but the slightly lengthy story and the pursuit of building the hype for a different movie lowers my grade from a Mid/High 80's to a decent 76. (STILL AN EXCITING MOVIE)
