Hey folks,

I hope everyone is doing well.
Two weeks ago I was hired to be one of the staff photographers at the Indian Film festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA) @ the Arclight Theater on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood.
This will be my third year doing photography at this film festival. I also got to use my new used 5D Mk I at  the festival. And it worked great. (THANK GOD FOR FULL FRAME)
Photography at the festival was done by me and another photographer named Maria Martin.

If you want to see some of the photography, go here.

On the home page the first five photos are mine.
I'm very pleased with my photography this year.
I got alot of good compliments for my photography.

Then last Saturday I got to shoot a wedding. That went well.
And many of the photos came out great.

Then I had my little shoot with Devon in Santa Monica, CA that was cool.
And yes I'm lovin my 5D. I still have so much to do with it.

Well that it for now.
Tell you more later.

Peace.
