New holiday season logo for 2025! This logo will be on photos I take between Black Friday and New Year’s Day. I hope a lot of them will be taken.

Can’t believe I didn’t share these photos. I took this past Friday. Out of all the pictures I took that night, these were probably some of the best ones. Basically, I need more practice shooting at night outdoors.

Took some new photos of @abbyblush.bsky.social this weekend. She gave me some pointers on how to properly light a model. Fortunately, the studio we were at had some good lights I could utilize. When I do my next shoot, I’ll just have to work with what I already have. I think it should work.

Somewhere in Lynwood. Don’t know why I was compelled to take this photo. I was just sitting at a red light and thought “that’s an interesting photo”. So here we are.

My last four holiday season logos. I utilize these for photos taken between Black Friday and New Year Day. Naturally I’ll have to come up with a new one for 2025; just gotta find the right font.
I’m no graphic designer lol; I’ll just have to search out a font that I like.

Yes it’s AI…but the person in the photo actually wants real ones like this to be taken. It’s just a matter of me getting to her neck of the woods. I’m broke; I can’t afford that plane ticket right now. Ugh…

I’ve even gone as far as animating some of those photos…even though I’m my case the app (Grok for the record) changes the toes of the models from looking like they’re in pantyhose to looking like their feet are bare. They also change the faces a bit.

My thing is that I’ll see a prompt that I like, and will experiment with it by changing the words, details, and reference photos. The results speak for themselves.

I’ve been having a LOT of fun making AI images in Google Gemini. And yes, as seen here I’ll insert myself into some of the pics haha.
I mean, just look at my profile photo!

Terry was more than happy to do one of my favorite looks for a model: sweater and pantyhose. I guess one can say it’s one of my signature looks. It’s both simple and sexy…and perfect for these upcoming colder months. I WILL be revisiting this look multiple times this winter!

I’m so behind on photos…I’m still looking though photos I took in the middle of October, such as these of Ailin Deng. She’s cool; I want to do a full photoshoot with her someday.

Some more photos that I took at the mixer this past weekend. The original lighting on these photos were really screwed up; I had to do some magic to make them as bright as they are here. Lots of moving of the sliders, lol, and plenty of help from Remini as well.

Some shots from the FD Photo Mixer I attended this weekend. I’m STILL learning the settings on my camera.

Every year I pick 12 photos that I took as my favorites. This year, it’s going to be TOUGH. Three photos ALONE that I took of Olivia Would would make the cut. There are also numerous others that should make the finals…but won’t. It’ll be difficult, but I’ll HAVE to pair them down somehow!

FD Photo Studio had yet another mixer this weekend and here are a few photos I took at said mixer. These were all edited on my iPhone.

She really IS my dream woman. You can best believe I’ll be purchasing this video when it’s released.

Throwback Thursday to one of the best times I ever had at a shoot: photographing Jasmine Wong. I had so much fun I’m actually revisiting the BTS footage I shot. I just might re-activate my DailyMotion profile to share the vid (YouTube probably wouldn’t allow it).
