The Velveteen Rabbit is a timeless children's classic that follows a stuffed rabbit on an unforgettable quest. On this magical adventure, the Velveteen Rabbit is met with helpful friends, who teach him lessons and instill in him a deeper understanding of life.
The most important lesson the Velveteen Rabbit learns is the true meaning of being real. Through the love of those around him, the Rabbit comes to recognize that realness comes from within. With the help of the kind Nursery Magician, the Rabbit ultimately finds happiness and contentment in his newfound reality.
The Velveteen Rabbit is a wonderful reminder that love and friendship can help us get through anything. It also encourages us to never stop believing in ourselves and to always stay true to who we are! No matter what life throws our way, the Velveteen Rabbit teaches us to embrace our individual journey, learn from our experiences, and discover the joy and power of being real.
Start of a new journey exploring the Kelso Dunes.
Journey to the Dunes
We peaked the summit right when sunset was starting and really showed off the beauty of the preserve. Personally I’ve always preferred a nice woodland area but this sunset showed me how beautiful the desert can be.

A Tribute to Our Military, Veterans, and Fallen Soldiers

Read MorePhotos with a Old Friend
My friend and I went out the other week and did a few photos for her to share with her family. This shoot was outdoors while the weather was nice. We shot with mostly natural light and only used lighting minimally to help her pop off the background. For me, this was a fun shoot to do because it was something out of my usual shoots. Bellow are some samples from this shoot.
A Once in a Lifetime Event- The Rare Strawberry Moon
Last night was a very special night, for the first time in almost 50 years there was a strawberry moon on the night of the Summer Solstice. This was a new type of moon phase I had never heard of because it was so rare. With this being called a once in a life time event I had to go outside and take at least a few photos Thankfully I was able to enjoy it even with the fire here in socal right now. I hope you were all able to enjoy it as well!
A Random Conversation
Today, while I was saying goodbye to a friend of mine a lady, overheard us talking about college. Her name was Silvia she was an older lady who moved to the United States from Mexico. She started school and then put it on hold for 10 years for various reasons. One day she decided to go back to school and finish with multiple degrees.

My First Book/My Publisher Review
Last week I received an email from the book printing company My Publisher, about getting my first printed book free with the promo code they sent me. I thought what did I have to loose? So later that day I downloaded their software and designed my book. My first impression with the company wasn't that great. While their software is well designed to help people without design skills, I felt it very clunky and it has too much hand holding. Though I checked their website today, they are now incorporating PDF uploads, allowing designing to be done in your software of choice and then uploaded. I look forward to trying that feature for my next book!
Aside from the software I was quite eager to receive my book in the mail! To my surprise, I received the book one week after ordering it, a little faster than I expected since I didn't choose two-day shipping. So today I picked up my book from the post office and excitedly opened it up. I am quite happy with the book overall (acurate color, quality paper, etc.), with just one mistake in the entire book. The mistake was an image rotated and enlarged due to the software believing I made a mistake. Another reason I will be happy to design my next book with software I am more comfortable with, such as photoshop or illistrator. Bellow are the images of my first book, "In Search of Light".
Thanks, hope you enjoy and please share any experianced you might have had with this printing company.
