right, birds can fly so high and they can shit on your head

and they can almost fly into your eye and make you feel so scared

but when you look at them and you see that they're beautiful

that's how i feel about you

Shooting in a dark room is pretty darn difficult. Wide aperture, high iso, and moderately slow shutter may help.

The Olympics will be held in the following months, August 8-24. Expect to see many human rights protesting over the liberation of Tibet.

This shot was taken post Rose Parade. Everyone who lives around L.A. should stop by and just appreciate the hard work many individuals dedicated to make each float unique.

The power of a wide angle lens. It allows for a more dynamic shot when taken at a low perspective.

This is one of my favorite actions taken shortly after the weekly drum circle at Venice Beach.

From the words of Daryl Dumadag to....

"All the 'nice' guys and/or girls out there, some fucking reassurance about their relationships [or relationships to come]. The point im trying to make here is, we're all fucking Magikarp. Yes that's right. MAGIKARP, from Pokemon.

Now if you aren't a fan of the show, let me give you some backstory, Magikarp is the most useless pokemon in the world, some wack ass fish that can only splash around, but it evolves in to a fucking bad ass flying dragon snake thing.

I personally believe early on in life, we get walked all over just because we are too nice. These experiences give me the motivation to progress further in life than any guy who has ever spoken negatively about me, or any guy that has gotten in the way of the girl I liked. More than likely, these guys who do fuck with you hardly ever make it anywhere in life, because they think they can just walk all over people, and they continue to think that the bad boy thing still works. Good for you assholes, keep thinking that.

I've seen a number of my friends go through guys like you, and I've had a number of guy friends get fucked over because of guys like you. But one day, we're gonna be big ballin, and you'll be flipping burgers asking for handouts.

Yeah I believe in karma, and shit's gonna fuck someone up sooner or later."

War Is Never Won, Only Survived., originally uploaded by albert.cantaloupe.

Amidst all the commotion of passionate protesters I spotted this young fellow helping his dad staple signs that read "Stop Bush," "Impeach," and "War is not the Answer."

I paused and gazed with amazement, such a little boy making such an impact to cause he does not fully understand. Without a doubt he will one day be proud for being a part of a cause that is greater than himself.

Surprise! Happy Valentine's Day Dear!

Surprise! Happy Valentine's Day Dear!, originally uploaded by albert.cantaloupe.

It was Valentine's Day afternoon and we were all chilling outside enjoying the beautiful weather. When at a distance we suddenly see young woman coming from the circle's parking structure. Her hands filled to the brink. She struggles to carry a large bag of goodies and wrapped above must have been seven large balloons.

This young woman named Jennalee was here to see Scooter, her boyfriend, and man you should have seen his eyes.

Eyes of utter happiness.

Eyes that could scream out love in a heart beat.

Eyes that are in love.

What a wonderful moment. What a wonderful moment.

=)

One of my first shots and very fitting that James is in it. He sparked and influenced me in getting a dslr. After over a year of hesitation, I took the dive and have never looked back.

Thanks James.

Three women are in the foreground (two adults and a young child). Directly across from them are three former male convicts.

A prayer service lead by the three men are given most mornings prior to the opening of the Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles. They give support and hope to the many women affected by such terrible circumstances.

This image brings forth the harsh reality of who really suffers, the family: wives, sisters, mothers, and children.
