So, since the Texans did not make it to the Super Bowl, my request for New Orleans was denied by the NFL. But I did receive approval to shoot the 2013 NBA All-Star game here in Houston. This is a collection of my best shots:
Rising Stars Challenge
I was hired by Nike to shoot their big "Area 72" event at the Houston Galleria. I shadowed the primary video guy. We were the only ones with access to the players from beginning to end. It was awesome.
They shut down the mall and the streets around the mall due to overcrowding and the mini riot that Lebron caused when he decided to exit thru the food court instead of the area that HPD secured.
After the Nike event, I was invited to shoot the red carpet at the annual 2Kings Dinner hosted by Lebron and Jay-Z:

When you coming back to L.A.? I got some taco spots..
April 10th - 15th. Working Coachella for LAWEEKLY. Flying in 2 days early (Wednesday), we leave for Indio on Thursday, festival is Friday to Sunday, come back Monday, leave on Tuesday.
I'm thinking you, me, & Pistol should hit the Dodgers game that Monday.
Also, I found this awesome taco truck on La Brea @ Olympic:

x-post from the Day in Pies thread:
Interesting story about this guy. I met him in that plaza in La Piedad (Michoacan, Mexico).
He said his name was Octavio and he was 98 years old.
He walks that plaza everyday before lunch.
He claimed to have been 7-10 years old when he camped out with Pancho Villa at
the Battle of Ciudad Juarez (1911). He said he would bring water, food, and candy to the
soldiers at their camp. I really don't know if his story was true, but I like to believe that it was.
This was def one of my fav portraits & photos that I've ever taken.

naw this was in a small town called Ticuitaco in Michoacan.
I was in PV for my honeymoon 3 years ago though, it was awesome.
Dude, I've been to that plaza! That's in La Piedad, Michoacan... which is right on the border with Guanajuato. Back in 2007, my godmother, who lives in Mexico, organized a trip to attend a religious pilgrimage in Tanuato, Michacan (30km from Ticuitaco).
She charted a bus and my parents, my grandma, myself and thirty others took this trip.
We stayed in a beautiful hotel in La piedad, right on the river, on a mountain.
We actually also traveled to Guanajuato City, Dolores Hidalgo, Atotonilco, and San Miguel de
Allende on this trip. That was in May. My parents and grandma would go back to San Miguel in July. On the way home, a mini-van T-Boned the Chevy Suburban they were in and I lost my mother, grandma, and god-sister. My father & brother spent weeks in the hospital.
These were the last memories I had with my mom & grandma. I cherish them dearly.

Dear girl who wants me but doesn't WANT me,
You are a perfect combo of sexy and cute, with an intellect to match. You like baseball and raspas and drinking, and have a smile that melts my heart every time I make you laugh. Please make up your mind soon. I refuse to be friend-zoned by you.
