the digital orange photo blog I like to think of myself as a tuxedo t-shirt because I want to be formal, but really I'm here to party.

I'm in Salt Lake City right now working on a commercial assignment.  While walking around outside, I found this grouping of signs.  I liked the colors present, but what really caught my attention was the tree behind it with colorful leaves on it.  Not common for these parts considering we're in the middle of winter.

Oh, and here's an image of Warren and Erin's wedding I'm really liking.  More coming soon.  I promise.

I was in Utah all last week for some family matters.  While I was there, I had the chance to break away and do some work on a top secret project with Richard K. Miller.  My task was to photograph the restaurant Pantrucas in Provo Utah and document the awesome establishment founded by Ricardo and Margarita.

I kid you not when I say this food was UNREAL.  I lived in Mexico for two years, so I know good Latin food when I see it.  Believe me, this stuff was legit and I can't wait to go back.  To top it off, you'll be a better person for talking with the owners, Ricardo and Margarita.  They are incredible people and will do anything to make your visit unforgettable.

Be sure and stop in, and if you do, tell them I said hello.

Ever heard of Skid Row?  Or better yet, ever been there?  It's an area of Downtown Los Angeles that is home to 7,000 - 8,000 homeless people.  I've always wanted to visit this "unsafe" area and photograph the people and landscapes.  I'm intrigued by the subculture and way of life these thousands of people call home.

This excursion was probably not the best idea I've had.  [insert mental image of a white boy walking around in Nike sneakers and cut-off shorts with a big camera and lens]  - you get the idea.  Luckily, I came away unharmed and only got yelled at a few times.  I will be going back soon.  Wanna come?  Jessica was brave enough...

I was quickly reminded of the fortunate life I have been given.  May we all remember how fortunate and blessed we are during this Christmas season.

Here's a peek into the life of Los Angeles' homeless who live on Skid Row.

On our way to Pismo Beach last weekend, we took a much needed pit stop at In-N-Out.  You just can't beat a Double Double animal style.  Happy Friday!
