BEAUTIFUL VENICE BEACH

I am very, very excited to show you these summer time Venice Beach shots. I found these gems in my labyrinth of amazing photos and had to show them! With weather like the weather in the photographs, how could anyone not envy California residents? I bet you're going to head over to Travelocity and book yourself a one-way ticket to paradise (Sunny California) after checking these out :):)

You have to respect the Asian business-casual man who picks his kid up from school then heads straight to the beach. No need to stop by the house and pick up beach attire, that's not time efficient!!!


Here's an exquisite photograph of a local surfer dude leaving the wavage:


This fellow is here today to get a suntan on his scalp:


These people definitely aren't going to get skin cancer:


It takes a true professional photographer to capture such sleek watermelon motion:


"Bring it on, Pacific Ocean!!" - Bebe taunting the big blue:


Could you imagine if a little crab crawled up this Italian guy's shorts? Oh man! Then pinching his Italian sausage :D!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about a rude awakening. I can see it happening, CAN YOU?


Tim throwing a Spider-Man football spiral. He has a great body.


Me making an unbelievable catch ON CAMERA! I hope you're reading this, dad. I know you always wanted me to play pigskin back in high school, but I was too busy playing Diablo II :( I forgive you for slapping me when I showed you my level 99 sorceress.


I got my camera all stoned before I took this photo! Than man in the beach hat is a doctor. "DO YOU SUFFER FROM BOREDOM? COME ON IN AND GET A CARD TO SMOKE WEED LEGALLY!!"


"Today sure has been a ruff day." -Dog


I made this sandcastle:


Bebe playing Baywatch lol:


"Why did you bury your phone?" - Lola
"Because the battery was dead."- Tim
"Good joke!" - The readers of this blog


"Really funny joke, Travis. I can't stop laughing" - Bebe


This is truly a stunning photograph of a backbone:


Great advertising! Coca-Cola


I'm the boss California


Thanks for stopping by! I hope this blogspot post has inspired you to go out and buy a frisbee and head to your local beach, lake, pond, above ground pool, or bathtub. We only have so much more time before global warming makes this all impossible without wearing some weird UV blocking beach suit.

IDENTITY FESTIVAL - LAS VEGAS

Que pasta, mah noodlaz?! To celebrate the labor movement and its dedication to the social and economic achievements of American workers, I went to a rave with some buddies. We hit up Identity Festival in Las Vegas, NV at Mandalay Bay Event Center, USA and heard some great electronic computer dj tunes. Enjoy!

Steve Aoki's set had big ass letters spelling out his last name. This photograph is a great representation of the energy that filled the room.


Here's Mark the Cobrasnake playing some Skrillex on Spotify to get us pumped for the rave action. Because of my photographer abilities you won't need to ask what hotel & casino resort he's in. :)


Cryptozoologists should probably attend more raves to find the elusive creatures they want to study:


"Is that The Professional Photographer taking our picture. omg!"


"Hey Becky, does this hat look big on me?"


This deaf boy is having his assistant sign out the wobble noises being played by Rusko:



An excellent photograph of a raver's eyes flipping out trying to focus on the maelstrom of fluorescent lights.


"I love boobies. I like my boobies the same way I like my martinis, 1 isn't enough and 3 is too many." (2 fingers up!)


No one gets more laid than the adult males who suck on pacifiers. C'mon ladies, imagine if that pacifier was yo clit, or even your lactating nipple!!!


Niko the Ikon taking a picture with an iPhone of a cute young couple at the Mandalay Bay beach area Advent Stage:


I love it when I get the chance to photograph such beautiful situations such as this. "Friends"


This dude had a great attitude about the Las Vegas heat. I know you guys are going gaga over the cool arm frame I achieved. Maybe the next time you create your own YouTube upload of your favorite dance song, you can use this static image for your viewers:


The 'gang hang' while a bored lifeguard checks his watch to see the time. He must not be doing something he loves, because if he was, he wouldn't be bored? If you love your job, you're not working, you're living.


Here's a great picture of D.A. on a great casino beach:


This is Bebe Zeva holding a beach ball:


This is Bebe Zeva tossing the beach ball up in the air and maybe forgetting it shouldn't frighten her? Cuz she look scurr'd!


"No, you go call mom!"


This woman's favorite electronica album is "6:66 Satan's Child" by Danzig


Looking good!


A very dynamic photograph of Bebe and Madeline in the catering room:


A wonderful shot displaying the large amount of Steve Aoki fans! I see a lot of orbs in there. Are these rave ghosts caught on tape?


A fan dancing to Steve Aoki's remix of YMCA:


Isn't Jonny Makeup cute!?


RAGING BRO


Most of the girls in this 'front row' shot seem like they wished the audio guys would turn down the volume a little bit.


Crowd rafting on the raving rapids:


A stunning photograph of excited bro getting out of a raft:


IdenTITTIES Fest:


It's tradition for Mr. Aoki to smash a cake into a fans face. I hope he brought some face wash because sugar can really clog your pores.


The best photo of Skrillex anyone has ever taken:


I gotta get me one of these hats!!!! I don't usually wear fur, but this can be the one exception!


Bebe and Jonny doing an EpIc Planking!!!


Steve Aoki and the drummer(?) from a System of a Down in the dressing room.


"You guys are number one!" -A guy talking to these people.


Ring around the ravey:


Rave butt


Niko looking smooth as hell in a TRAP-MAN shirt:


Dancing by yourself:

Bebe vogueing:


It's time to go home, everyone. Did you have fun?


Mirror shot! :D:D:D:D:D


Identity Fest sure was something you could rave about :):) I hope they make a Dubstep Up 3D movie soon!
