LOCAL TOURISTS.

This past Sunday Victor and I finally used the Hollywood Museum tickets he had gifted a couple months back! He could not have given me a BETTER gift! I had a blast, it was amazing just to be in a building like the original "Max Factor Studios" with so much history. The museum is HUGE. I was not expecting all that they have to showcase. The museum's third floor changes 3 times a year, so there's always something new to see! I especially loved the different rooms they had for each hair colored movie star; the "Blondes Only", "Red Heads Only" and "Brunettes Only" rooms. The "Blondes Only" room I'm sure is the most popular. They have several Marilyn Monroe items to display, anything from her personal gowns to high heels to the death report AND her original prescription of Decadron found at the time of her death. There is just way too many things to even try to sum up the museum! I want to go back there again asap! I was so happy just looking at all the vintage fashion, handbags, personal letters, and photographs of the golden era, the true Hollywood. It's nice to see just how glamorous Hollywood really was back then and how much the art of acting has changed. Victor kept saying how he wished he lived in that era, and so do I. *sigh*

I was able to get some great shots of Victor in and out of the museum. He should be posting a blog about soon, I even made a short behind the scenes video of me shooting an outfit look for his blog. Check it out below and make sure to check back to his blog VICTOR-GO.COM to see which photos made the cut!

 I encourage everyone to take the time and visit the "Hollywood Museum" to learn more about 'Hollywood Royalty'.

FRENCH SUNDAY MORNING.

Whipped up some french toast and scrambled eggs this morning and I must say it turned out pretty good! Victor had been hinting that he wanted me to make french toast one morning so this Sunday felt like the perfect morning to do so. The recipe is super easy and it doesn't take too long to prepare/make. I think the best part of the breakfast was the presentation. You don't have to be a great cook; sometimes the presentation is what makes the food delicious!

*We had a great Sunday being local tourists in Hollywood, post to come soon.*

With this blog post I felt like sharing a few favorite photographs of mine: favorite photographs that I've taken, and favorite photos of Victor and I.

CIRCA 2009 PHOTOGRAPHY:

Favorite shots of Victor and I :

2013 has been pretty good to me, it actually doesn't feel too different. I just feel something inside of me wanting to experiment more, experience more, and try new things as well as go back to a hobby that I loved growing up. I've been getting into videos and video editing. I would like to practice more on that, and hopefully start making videos soon. I'm feeling very inspired by the city, sky scrappers, and sun glares. I've also been wanting to get back into photography. Straight out of high school that was one of my favorite things to do (I received a Nikon coolpix p80 as a graduation gift from my parents). I loved playing with my camera, setting up photo shoots with my sister Julie, and taking my camera wherever I went. At times I revisit my flickr account and think back to the boy I was back then. This past year I've been relying wayyyy to much on my Iphone for photography, and I'm going to try and change that this year. 

ONE PHOTOGRAPH AT A TIME.  

TRAFFIC.

This is a music video that I put together today (it's my first video ever) and I used an original song from Victor called "Traffic".  I woke up this morning with this song in mind, and have been wanting to create a music video for it. I shot all the footage today after work, and surprised Victor with the video once he got home. It isn't amazing and you can tell it's my first time, I have yet to learn tons more about video editing but I'm happy with how it turned out. I hope to make more videos soon, and hopefully shoot an editorial video for Victors blog or his music.

TEENAGE DREAM.

A video that Victor made for me a year ago on one of our trips to the happiest place on Earth. Feeling really inspired to make videos, hopefully I can come up with something soon.

DAY WITH THE MOUSE.

Disneyland:

Disney's California Adventure:

This is a delayed blog post, but haven't had too much time due to the holidays and working holiday hours at my job. A couple days before Christmas I was able to get 2 free tickets to the Happiest Place on Earth from Radio Disney, just a perk of working for the big Mouse. All year I wait for this day to come, a free trip to Disneyland with a few other perks?! AMAZING! Those other perks were free pop corn and drinks to enjoy while in the park, and some discounts on the restaurants. Our friends Grace and Kay joined us on our magical Disneyland trip! I was surprised to find out (by Victor who pointed it out) that our ticket was actually a park hopper and we were able to end the night by crossing over to Disney's California Adventure! It was there that I found my new FAVORITE ride, the Cars Land Racers! I was obsessed with it and was so glad to have stuck in that 2 hour and half freezing line! So worth it! I had a blast, and can't wait to come back!
