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.

During my last trip to Salt Lake City, I met up with the super talented and rad Courtney Winnie for some shaved ice and photo expedition. It's always fun to meet up with other photographers and try out some new things. I'm a firm believer in the importance of shooting for yourself - and doing it OFTEN. It really helps to keep the creativity flowing.
Courtney is a photographer currently in SLC, but relocating to Orange County. We can't wait to welcome her here with open arms.
Bethany Murphy:
LOVE these! I am seriously loving your style and work! So awesome! It will be great to have a new friend joining our group :) Seriously let's go out and do something like this! These type of things are always the best! Also, let's get our group together in the next couple weeks!
