The photographer behind Savory Exposure in Atlanta, GA was in Southern California for a week in March 2010. We were able to hang out and photowalk for a few hours in Pasadena.

This time, he's equipped with a Canon EOS 7D.

Good times.

CONG Productions

questions@bryanvillarin.com (Bryan Villarin Photography) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 21:03:03 GMT

From their Facebook page:

"CONG Productions is a small film company run by a group of snowboarders based out of Arcadia, CA. They shoot at the local resorts including Mountain High, Mount Baldy, Bear Mountain, Mammoth and June."

Hey, that's Cody Mendoza! He's been away from his Nikon D80 and we miss him, but as long as he loves doing something else creative, we're all for it.

They wanted this photo session for their website. (No link yet - I think they're working on it.) We spent about 30 minutes taking random photos at the top of a parking structure.

This photo is my favorite from the session.

Wayne

questions@bryanvillarin.com (Bryan Villarin Photography) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:53:52 GMT

I'm sort of joining Thomas Hawk with his $2 portrait project, but knocking it down to $1, like Justin Korn. (I'm a struggling student.)

What's the premise? I'll offer $1 to anyone who asks me for money in exchange for their portrait. I'm a shy person, but I'll do my best to find out a little about the person. You never know if it'll make someone's day for just talking to them for a little bit.

Fourteen months ago, Wayne flew to Los Angeles from Hawaii. He held a tall can in a brown paper bag, sipping beer - I can't remember which brand.

I wished him well and continued on my photowalk.

Out of 34, this is my favorite photo from Christmas Eve. (Nothing wrong with the others - they're mainly posed, so meh...check 'em out on Facebook.)

Esther invited me to a last-minute dinner. I hung out with several friends from high school - I rarely see them.

This is Megan. She's chill.

I want to take a portrait of her sometime in 2010. Hopefully we'll work something out.

Since I can't get a 50mm f/1.2, I have to settle for this. :)

This is a panorama photo with minimal post processing. I know some people will just say to blur in Photoshop or GIMP, but I like this technique. (See "The Brenizer Effect.')

I went to No Future Cafe last night because I've been feeling horrible the past couple days.

I overheard Ernesto and Alex talking about finding a drummer. They're in a band and still in high school. (Ugh, that made me feel old. Whatev.)

We talked throughout the show about music and being in a band. They told me about their musical background, plus they play an acoustic set once a week locally.

I made sure to give them our demo and my card.

Very cool guys. I hope to see them perform live sometime soon - as long as they get back to me!

We were chatting in the parking lot after watching a movie at the mall, and I spotted these stairs. So, I asked Pete to sit there and look solemn.

I asked Cassandra to casually sip her Sprite so I could take a portrait of her (without making her look at the camera). After a little resistance, she let me take the photo.I hope it looks better than it did on the back of my camera, Cassandra!

Thanks for smiling, Rex
