Jordan’s Skate Session | Ladera Ranch
Tonight I joined Jordan at the skate park and saw how good he is getting. He is airing out of bowls like a little pro ! Here are some of him and his friends. You can see more on flickr here.

080808, our little NO-lympics | San Clemente, Ca
A group of us were invited (and obviously accepted) to our friend Regis’ home for the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. First off, SORRY for not putting these up on 080908… I was busy :) Anyway, we had fun. Regis pulled out the table tennis table and we had at it while sipping frosty beverages and dining on Baja Fresh. Here are some images I caught when I was not otherwise occupied smashing the living daylights out of anyone on the opposite side of the table.
I am only kidding about beating everyone to a pulp, but it turns out the Flavio does pretty well at this game too !

Felipe | Purple Fury
Well, it finally happened. After many years of total training, Felipe was granted his Purple Belt in BJJ. He took some time off of BJJ in order to attend college to become a dentist and has been back and focused for the past 2 years. I am so proud of my friend. He teaches me every time I roll with him. He is a great guy for his girlfriend Kendy and I hope someday to be able to photograph them being married. We all know Felipe is a technical warrior and has performed at this level for a while… I am just happy to see the belt on his waist instead of the old rag of a blue belt he once had. Congratulations Felipe! I love you man!

Unique Opportunity
Today I was asked to make some photos for the Gracie Magazine (www.graciemag.tv). After taking some time to understand what Luca and Marcelo wanted of the photos, we went to work. Master Carlos Gracie Jr and Marcio Feitosa we both perfect “models” for the BJJ techniques :) Working in their location is a little challenging. The academy is located in an old building in Old Irvine and it tends to get pretty hot. In addition, the lisghting is hard. They use flourescent and incandescant light, and there is no natural light to use. I was able to pick up a kit from ProFoto… I had fun with it and I feel that they are going to be a perfect adition to my work. Here are a few samples…
Thank you Master Carlos and Professo Marcio for your time, and Lucal Atalla for the opportunity.
