brandon de la cruz is one of my very favorite local lake elsinore musicians, and i was ecstatic when he asked me at the beginning of the year to take some photographs of him. on the seventeenth of march, he drove chris and i up to idyllwild to spend the day with him and conduct a mountaintop photoshoot. i thought i'd share some of the pictures here.




this is nathan, another local lake elsinore musician whom we miraculously just happened to run into. he is the most magnificent accordion player.






























brandon is extremely talented and makes the most beautiful music. you should all listen to it on his bandcamp page and buy his cds because they're incredible, lovely, and so many more words that i can't even think of.

i am so happy to finally be able to share these photos that i took in the middle of march for atwood magazine's third issue, themed roots.

i was very honored that one of my photos was selected to grace the atwood cover. this is a first for me! you can check out all the pictures that were picked and published in the editorial here, on pages 56-63.
i want to give thanks to the wonderful atwood team for approaching me to shoot for them and for their overall kindness and good vibes, and to chris for modeling, as well as listening to me babble incoherently on the phone every night about all my ideas until they started to make sense.
