Gosh where to start with eSteph? Well, for starts, tonight was the first time I've seen her in eight years. I met her back in tenth grade when I use to hang with the skaters down the block in my old neighborhood. At the time, I fooled myself into picking up a skateboard and learning how to ride, pull off tricks and look cool on it. All to impress a classmate at the time, both failed attempts I may add. I wasn't much a lady killer then, wait.... I'm not much of lady killer these days either, sucks.

Any who, the party was to be hosted at her parents place which happens to be a very well kept day care by day. So if you happen to have a kid, no time in your schedule to look after them due to work and happen to live in the greater South Central L.A. area, give eSteph a buzz and have her hook ya up! I was quite exited to see her again and you know me, always finding an excuse to visit the hood. Wonderful and happy memories burst through my head every time I drive down the streets of South Central. 

I met wonderful people at the party and even made a few future connections for some upcoming film projects I'm working on. As some of you may already know, before Synthetic Color was conceived I ran a lone project called Ominous Films nine years ago. Another failed attempt on my part, as I quickly realized movie making wasn't for me. Gathering what I know now from my photography projects, I'm slowly pushing myself into getting back into filming and hopefully one day starting another website showcasing the few movies I have planned in my head.
