Apple Valley, California
Springs flowers bloom just over a rocky hillside in the desert outskirts in the town of Apple Valley. Guided by my friend Leo who often wanders through this desert as his own backyard, we watched the sun lower and heat settle on a beautiful Sunday. A perfect way to end a busy weekend.

It’s been a rough time to say the least. Life has been increasingly more difficult and often I question if I made the right choices hoping not to hurt anyone in the process. My foundation has been shaken up and it is not until recently that I’ve found my bearings. However it’s through this time I’ve experienced what it means to hold on to hope. The idea of hope is a powerful thing when you have nothing left. It can motivate and spark the fire once inside you that was lost.

Some goals in photography I’d like to improve upon this year are:

Show more faces
Focus on storytelling
Don’t forget the small stuff
Connect - Upload more content, every post isn’t going to be a masterpiece.
Apply for more photography work

Here’s another from my series in Mexico. I usually upload a batch from a particular day but I felt this one fit my current mood right now.

Brandon Resendez takes time to rest at his grandparent’s home in a rancho called Cerro de Santiago in Durango, Mexico. Rancho life is for the most part quiet, often sleeping and napping in the day because it’s so hot outside.

Oak Hills score a last minute goal to defeat Culver City and advance to the CIF-Southern Section Division 3 championship game.

I have to remind myself to wear more layers when covering an Oak Hills soccer match. It was freezing! Despite a lack of proper equipment and warmth I was happy to capture some photos I enjoyed personally.

July 16, 2018 - Durango, Mexico

On this stormy day we took an early preview of the Durango National Fair, also know as La FENADU, specifically to visit the horse stalls where I found most of my images for the day. I have plenty more images from the fair during it’s peak attraction in the coming posts.
