This ones in the bag...
what's up my nuggets, just wanted to do a little gear update. as some of you may know i just got my elnichrom strobe kit and i am about to go shoot a motocross kid but i needed a way to get my kit to and from the location. so i did a lil bite on one of my idols Dean Blotto well sort of. the way that he transports his elinchrom ranger kit is via backpack, and used the pack as a weight to anchor the light stand, however this mo fo weighs a shit ton and i already have a nice laundry list of back problems. so after consulting the one and only Dave Brewer who most of you have most likely sessioned one of his photo booths at an event of some sort. he told me he used a rolling backpack to transport his kit. i liked it but i felt like i need to take it one step further. after a quick trip to blindside to pick up my new plan of attack this is what i came up with. 1 Burton Focus and Resolution pack, as well as a Burton double deck luggage bag thing. i really wanted the f stop due to the built in liner, but since they were sold out i had to go with the focus pack. the fit of the ranger battery was a little tight with the head (thats what she said) so i may still upgrade to the f stop sooner or later. but the Focus bag does fit the kit, i then put the focus pack in the double deck luggage bag. the pack fits perfect on one side leaving the other side for all the other overweight gear that i am taking with me. anyway have a look at it let me know if you have any suggestions before i take this out.
peace love and cheese.

I hate you all
what's up my nuggets? bridging the gap with casual conversation... or a mutual topic you can laugh about. i love this video, it hits home and i know i fall into a few of the types of people they sing about. i "like" peoples shit on facebook only hoping that they will "like" my shit back. posting lyrics thinking i sound cool and hip, ha. and taking photos of food... well that's just in my dna, i'm asian (no racial). anyway as always i hate you all, hate on haters.

Elinchroms and Motocross shoot
What's up my Nuggets,
Recently the company I work for OTW Safety found a motocross rider to sponsor, and when we do that I get to go out and get some video and photos for our website. However I have never shot anything to do with motocross. So what does that mean? Well new gear of course... I have been working toward an Elinchrom Ranger kit for a while and this job was what I need to push me over the edge to make the purchase. After giving my credit card quite the workout I am happy to say that the bank account has lost quite a bit of weight. However the camera kit had gained quite a bit of weight about 45 lbs to be more specific, this light kit is heavy (haha sounds funny).
The next thing on the list of to-dos is find a motocross rider that I can go practice on so if any of my readers know of a motocross rider please let me know. Here is the set up for the camera nerds out there of how I plan to shoot it.
I will be shooting with my Canon 7D w/Pocket Wizard TT5 triggering my Elinchrom that has the Pocket Wizard ST4 trigger, the TT5 will also fire a second Pocket Wizard Plus II that will fire my Canon 1D Mark II. This is where I ran into a problem, when the TT5 triggers the Plus II hooked up to the Mark II there is a delay and the strobe from the Elinchrom is out of sync. So I came up with the idea to run a second Pocket Wizard Plus II on an alternate channel off the hot shoe of the Mark II triggering one of my Sunpak 555 also running off of a Plus II but on the alternate channel. And I am doing all this just to get a second angle. Wish me luck and I'll post the photos when this shoot goes down.
I am also back in the market looking for a new bag so if anyone has a Burton Pro-Form that would be a huge help to me. Or if you want to just donate a bag to me I will love you for ever.
Get your bars up kids.

Slug Games
What's up my nuggets? Not much new to report on other than if you don't know what Headshot is... And if you don't you should find us on facebook and like that shi. Headshot came from one of my passions and that passion is sticking stickers on shit. Not sure why I like it so much but I think it is really cool to put stickers on all my things. So instead of sticking someone else logo on shat I decided to make my own sticker and start sticking it on stuff. So if you want some stickers hit me up one facebook.
Other than that we attended to SLUG Games that were super cool getting to colabo something I love with work. These little groms can throw down and it makes me sad because they are amazing and make me feel old.
PS Jackets $50
Little dicks killing it making me feel old.

Post Ambien Blog
whats up my nuggets, it is very hard to follow a blog post like that last one that i had, also this thing was much easier when i thought that no one actually looked at this. however after a few shots of whiskey, (if anyone knows me, whiskey and i make for an interesting time) liquid courage always helps my words flow, i think... plus how could i possibly follow that last post up sober?
after reading the last post semi sober i think a lot of the ramblings in that previous post were subconsciously a truth. topic one... name dropping, its really just me wanting to make sure that i am successful, and now that i think about that one i think its not so much for me personally but for my parents and my future family that i want to be successful for. sometimes its hard because i feel like i didnt live up to what was expected of me (but that is some deep rooted issues that i dont want to talk about in this post)
numero dos... fear of death? or fear of failure? not sure on that one but im going to stick to the current theme of getting deep with it. failure to find that special someone to build the rest of my known existence and beyond? or is it going back to topic number one about my family, oh wait they kind of fit together. or maybe failure to eat 50 chicken nuggets in the chicken nugget challenge i suck at life. shit ramble ramble ramble!!! loud noises.
on to the next one... wanting to help
well shit there are plenty of directions i can run with this, the first one on my mind is im super excited about chill starting, i love teaching these kids to snowboard, 1. because i love snowboarding so much and i love sharing my love with them. 2 i love snowboarding. maybe that will be the next post i write about, how this one time i dated this really great girl and let her slip out of my life because there is something that is so fucking addicting about snowboarding. or not... well maybe i really just need to get some shit taken care of in my life that i want to get done, like possibly go back to school find a house i want to buy, or just be a better person because some times i feel like i can be an asshole and its totally not on purpose, totally sucks because i think all the previous things are just weighing down on me and i freak out a little and sometimes say shit i dont really mean or do things that i dont really mean. i just need to find a better release to my stress and i think i will be a better person. so not to sound selfish but i will work on making myself better in that way.
shit. done im out dicks

Ambien blog
Well what's up my nuggets. The title says it all for me. So with the disclaimer I have no acres to my crap photos or tacky YouTube videos it's just me talking real talk. It's Friday night and I feel alright. That is the god awful song rolling around in my head right now. ReAl talk for a second, is it a bad thing that I want to be known as a person that people drop my name when they need something? He only reason imasknis because recently imhave found my self name dropping like crazy. And I hate it. I want itmto be my name being dropped. Some day it will. Soon....
At this current moment I am not strafe of death and I want to feel this wa forever. But why do we fear death to begin with? We know it will happen I guess in life there aren't guerantees and if there were we would fear death a whole lot less. I feel so free right now. If it wasnt so damn cold out I would go out right now and help someone. Maybe not overcome the fear of death but help them do something that seems or would be overwhelming for them to do on theirnown.
Wanting to help just don't know where to start.... Maybe with myself?
