Up Close & Personal

Lately I've been trying to do portraits of people. Here are a few that I've done. Just random shots. The first one is of my friend Ricardo. Him, my bf and I went to Galveston to walk around and take pictures. We were outside of an ice cream shop and I decided to snap a picture of him.

I've also taken a couple of my bf. I've caught him off guard a few times. He doesn't really care to have his picture taken but I like to take pictures so he has to deal with it. hehe


I also annoy my friend Jose with taking pictures of him. We had finished playing soccer (well the guys played and I took pictures) and we were eating at Taco Cabana and I decided to take a few pictures of him. He was happy to know that a few of my friends thought he was cute when I uploaded his photo.


All three pictures were taken with the Canon Rebel XS. The first picture I took was taken with a 18-55mm lens and the bottom two pictures were taken with a 55-250mm lens.

Life Through Different Eyes

It's been awhile since I've taken pictures. I've been busy dealing with financial stuff and moving.

I was able, however, to go to a friends house and take pictures of his pets for him.

This cat was awesome to photograph. He stood still and was nice enough to let me get in his face with the camera.

Normally I just take pictures of my cat but today was a good day to expand to other people's pets.

My friend owns many cats, two dogs, turtles and a bird. The day was mainly spent taking pictures of his older dog, Major. He is a pure bred male boxer and is very old. These shots were for my friend to have pictures of him to hold onto when he passes. He's such a great dog!
Having so many pets is awesome. I love photographing animals. Especially animals that people are so madly in love with and treat as their own kids. It was a great day.
