Pretty in Pink

Pink is the color of passion, yeah!!!
An amazing song by the Aerosmith used to say that and I believe is true, with my new style I feel so HOT!!!!
Yeah and I'm not even close to be crazy (I'm mean, just a  little bit) but it's incredible how just a color can range my mood, my new hair makes me feels sooo good!!!!
I did my hair pink because I wanted to celebrate my finals, yes I'm finally done with them and now I'm in vacation. V A C A T I O N!!!! this word sounds so sweet :))))
My finals were very good, sometimes I can't believe myself how I can be productive when I'm under pressure, also I got the compliments from my quality of light teacher for my photos and the whole semester and his words were better than all the A+ I can get in my entire carrier.
Now, I'm trying to sleep a little, trying to eat a little more, trying to take my life back, but I won't take any vacation from my camera, and actually I'm about to go shooting right now for a friend's bday party, I hope to do not fall asleep while I'm shooting..

Other big news, I may have a new job.... but but but I will talk about it when I'm 100% sure :)

P.S. I'm gonna write soon a new post all about the Google scholarship I won, it deserves an entire post :P

The color of passion

Mijo

I would like to use this post to talk about all the news I have in my life, about him, J, maybe the biggest news, but I think he's only for me, he's the sweetest part of my life and I'm so jealous that I wanna keep it only for me.

I'll tell you only that it's been 4 months and he makes me happy.

He's so different, different form every body I've ever liked in my life, from me, from everything it was common, and this huge difference scares me but at the same time it makes me so happy I can't almost believe it :) ... I'm smiling!!!!

The photo above is part of his face :) and every time I look at it I stop 5 seconds to think about WHY MEN NEED SO LONG EYELASHES??? this is so unfair!!!!

He's pure.

Like a Snake

The second photo is part of my thigh tattoo... now it's healing and in 2 weeks I'm gonna do the last session, I CAN'T WAIT!
Ready for more photos, and video?
I wanna create a set for my last tattoo session :) Juan is gonna love me (or kill me?!)

Now I should get ready to work.. damn I'm so lazy..

News form 2012

First session thighs tattoo by Juan Puente @ BlackHeart Tattoo

2012 is started, and yes it's gonna be a very intense and busy year like the past 2011. A year of work, school, photos, passions, friends, love (I always hope in love.... hopeless :P)
This month started in a very good way, good money at work... yes they are always welcome...
A new tattoo (photo above!). I decided it was time for some more ink (my addiction is dangerous) so I started a new one on my thighs. This is a photo from the first session, I actually did the first one right before Christmas (it was my personal Christmas present awww), but it's gonna be a very long work, maybe next week I'm gonna do the second session. I won't tell you what is it...not yet, you will see the work in progress session by session, I'm also doing some videos of my sessions and I think I'm gonna put them all together to create a reportage of my new work. I chose Juan Puente for my legs, he's great.. no, more than great! You already saw many photos of Juan, but always during other people sessions, this time I wanted him all for me, and I'm absolutely happy, he's doing a fantastic job and I'm soooo proud of my new ink.
Another great news is that I'm about to have Mau, one of my best friends from Italy, here in SF!!! He's gonna come next week and you have no idea how I'm excited!!!!!!! He's gonna stay almost 2 weeks and we decided to do a road trip between SoCal: we're going to LA; Arizona to shoot in the Grand Canyon and then straight to Nevada: Las Vegas! CAN'T WAIT!!!! and my 5D Mark ii can't wait too :)

My winter break is almost over... I have 3 more weeks and then back to school for another extra heavy semester... I'm not ready yet, not ready at all... this year was hard and I really need a long vacation, far from everything... but it's not time yet, I'll have to wait for the summer...
Scared to go back to school, but happy at the same time...

3 more weeks of freedom...
I know already they will be too fast...

The Cheater

I don't remember if I told you that I have a new house... 

This is my second week from my new bedroom, a huge bedroom with an amazing victorian style window, tons of natural lights and a nice view on the hills of SF.

I love my new place. It's a pretty good size apt in the heart of Russian Hill (yes I'm back to my old neighborhood), I'm lucky enough to live with a gorgeous person also. My roommate is fantastic, too bad we have such a different schedule and it's kinda hard to spend time together because I really like her. A modern bohemian girl, kinda hippie, kinda vintage, she is pretty, and most important thing, she is super into photography like me! should I ask more?

So now I have a new house, a new great roomie, my new camera, a new tripod (fuck yeah!!), and I'm planning a few new things that I'm gonna tell you later.

The only thing I should do to be kinda happy is to find a new job... I'm so done with that place, I can't waist my time anymore. I can stand it anymore, I'm sorry only for the guys who I work with, but for all the rest I really gotta find a new place... I hate restaurants but here it seems to be the easiest place to make money... 

Now let's talk about photos.

The photo I put on my blog today it's a photo I needed to do to remind myself how I love photography, to remind myself who I am and why I'm here. I'm cheating my Canon with this vintage Nikon but only for this photo :P ... Canon is a true, deep love!

Now I have also to remind myself that I'm a photography student and I have finals exams to prepare.

Crossed fingers.

News.... MUSE...

Hello everyone! how's life going? mine is getting busier...

have a couple of things to talk about today, so let's get started...

I got a new job!!!!

today was my first day at PERBACCO, an italian restaurant in the financial district, a fine dining restaurant were i have to host, wearing like a woman (and that's the real bet for me!!!) and follows tones of rules... it's gonna be hard, I already know but it's a challenge and i'm gonna try.. today i started my training and i hope i did it well, now i have 2 books to study, books about employees rules and it sounds crazy to me....

...but we will see, the most hard thing i have to do is being careful about tattoos and piercings... i have to hide all of them and i hate it because it's like hiding part of me, part of what i am.. but i have to, it's a good place to work, and yes i need money..

I have to do 4 more days of training and then i'm going to start my regular shifts, I'll have 3 days lunch time to start, so i can still work at Amarena, I won't leave my restaurant, i love it and i'll try to do some double shift, then I have to see how everything can works together with my school...

beeeecause I'm going to start the fall semester september 1st!!!! I'm super excited and happy, it's the fist time in my life i'm happy to go back to school :) i'm going to take 4 classes: photoshop, visualization, color photography and composition, they sounds awesome and i can't wait.. seriously!

Last things i want to talk about is what i did last saturday..........and i'll say only one word... MUSE!!!!!!!!!

I saw them at the Outside Lands Festival here in San Francisco, and i swear to God i've never seen a show like that in my entire life.. it was more than amazing, more than great... it was just perfect! They are unbelievable on stage, Matt is fantastic, I'm totally in love with him! I lost my voice singing all the songs, I was almost crying more than one time, I don't even know how to explain what their music makes me feel, the only thing i know it's that i love 'em!

This is a little video I took when they were performing my favorite song, it' s a crappy video but that moment will be in my heart forever...

Well.. now i have to study my paper work and get ready for dinner with my friends...

wish me some luck because it's going to start a super busy and stressful time of my life!!!

Peace.
