What is todays date?


What is todays date?, originally uploaded by G1G4NT3.

I hate to admit that while I was taking this picture i was actually a little buzzed! This was taken at a shopping center, Plaza Mexico, in Lynwood, CA, I believe. I am not too familiar with the LA region, anything south of OC is ok but North of OC, im completely lost!

Directly behind me was a Merry-Go-Round. It was really spectacular. It had two floors, so you had the option of either on the bottom floor which had the stationary horses. The top floor had the "moving" horses, which was the one my nephew decided on!

If you just happen to be in the Lynwood area, and want a little taste of the Latin culture, I recommend Plaza Mexico! http://www.plazamexico.com/

I had an awesome time restoring the photograph, i wish i could get a few more to restore! so if any one you have some out there, go ahead and contact me and i will be glad to do it, of course for a small, negotiable fee! Well hope to hear from many of you! Take care and Good night!

In my own garden at home i found this gorgeous flower known as, Plumeria (not so sure on the spelling). A very beautiful flower that caught my eye, which apparently we have had for a while now. I love taking this style of pictures, especially when involving nature. i just hope people can enjoy it as much as i do!

Singing While at Work


DSC_2077, originally uploaded by G1G4NT3.

On my trip to Michoacan, Mexico, i visited the island of Janitzio ( HA-NEAT-CEE-OH ). Visiting the island Required traveling by boat to the island of course! While getting on the boat the only seating available was on the sides of the boat and some wooden boxes. After everyone is seated there are various people boarding, from as young as 8 years old and as old as, well I am not even sure how old. What are they doing on the boat? Working. From selling you chewing gun, cookies, bread, chips, nuts, or even telling you how to say " I Love You" in their native language which is PUREHPECHA, a dying dialect famously known in the state of Michoacan. Apart from learning a dying dialect, there are also musicians on board of the boat, this is how they make a living, they ride all day in the boat from as early as it opens until it closes at about 6:00pm. so in some way or another they did their 8 hour work day, but just getting enough money home to have something to eat! Living in the United States i have seen how picky people are when it comes to eating, and the sad thing is they are picky about which hamburger joint they do or do not want to eat at, whether to eat at McDonalds or at Burger King. what has our society come to? Well i guess that does explain the massive amount of obesity in the U.S. so with that note: Whats for Dinner?

Fishing is one of the biggest jobs in/near the island of Janitzio. shown here is a one of the fishermen near the island of Janitzio! they use gigantic nets to catch the famous "charal" ( a small anchovie like Fish) Famous in the Michaocan area, a delicacy which is deep fried and seasoned afterwards with lime and salt to taste... maybe a little hot sauce aswell.

How many idiots?


$6000 Damage, originally uploaded by G1G4NT3.

The question is: How many idiots does it take to make this kinda of damage? the Answer: ONE!! Just one... let me tell you how this whole happened, going to work the day before Easter Sunday, as i am arriving to the last turn before i arrive to work. I pull in to the center margin, to begin a left turn, as i begin the left turn i can see out of the corner of my eye to the right, that a car is making a U-turn from the inside lane (not the center margin), which by the way is FUCKING ILLEGAL. Well luckily both parties had insurance. but thats not the part that get me furious. shhe still has the balls to say it was our fault!! you made the illegal Turn stupid!!! well i think im done venting.. for now!!

well just another day at work, same as always, slow and boring. Just one week before the Pan-American Jiu-jitsu tournament in Carson, and here i am as always, with my camera at hand! As i was leaving work on a beautiful Sunday evening, I looked to my right and saw this beautiful view! The weather was very crazy today, it was raining like a mother fucker in the morning for like maybe 15 minutes and all of the sudden it stopped. Damn, thats So cal Weather for you! Well let me get back to the picture! Now I tried making it into a HDR Image, but not fully successful. Even though i was not fully successful with the HDR image, i am not disappointed with the outcome. I love the glowing effects on the objects, and the look of the sky! Someone once told me, "Look for the true beauty of everything" with that in mind, always remember there is there is Deep beauty in all!
