I’m sitting here in a tat studio out in Culver City while Emz gets her tat done.
So Saturday was Canon’s Capture Catalina event. SO MUCH FUN. The night before, I played poker until 2:30. I was planning to wake up at 4, but my alarm never went off so I got a call at 4:30am when Emz was already at my house. OH and look at what I found on my table when I got back from poker:

CUTE HUH?!?! I love you Creebu
We headed over to 7-11 to get some ‘breakfast’ and Emz ended up blowing up her oatmeal in the microwave and getting yelled at by the guy working there. Great start to a great day, if you ask me!
Anyhoo, we arrived in Long Beach and took the Catalina Express over. It was still dark out.


Got there and decided to check in and grab some food before our first “Hot Lighting” workshop.

Breakfast for champs:




So the workshops were a bit boring and after lunch, we decided to embark on our very own Capture Catalina adventure. We dropped off our gear to get cleaned (FOR FREE!!) and each rented a 5DMII & 16-35 f2.8L/17-40 f4L (FOR FREE AGAIN!!).

(oh em gee.)


(Dude, this guy was able to rent an 800mm lens. DROOL??)
SO THIS BEGINS THE 5DMKII MADNESS



(Testing out the 16-35 ON A FULL FRAME CAM!!)







We have finally fulfilled our dream of doing a photoshoot inside a laundrymat. HOLLER!!








We rented a golf cart and went on our way. Got lost a couple times but found some cool places to goof off and shoot at. Please see below:














So we found an empty trolley car and had to sneak into it because the door was closed. We all decided to climb from the side. This is Emz failed attempt.



Got a pretty shot of the clouds over the entirety of the island.



Okay, I’m so exhausted. Must sleep. Promise I will update more soon.
<edit: i realized i only have like 4 more pix so Im just gonna put it in this post>
