Decided it was time for a mini-vacation and was actually able to accomplish quite a bit in just a 3 day trip! After much thinking between my high school friend Carmelo and I, we came to the conclusion, we both needed an ADVENTURE from our tech jobs (he works at google). Sitting in front of a computer, would be balanced out much better through….a roadtrip through Mexico, surfing, bar hopping, boxing fight cheering (De La Joya vs Pacquiao), and some photography!

USC Homecoming Experience- SHUT OUT 56-0

Following lots of Halloween partying the night before, the morning has come, and it is time to tailgate for Homecoming! Not to mention, a great opportunity to really take the new camera out for a run too. Surprisingly at first, the security people at the door wouldn’t let me in with a camera… I’m like wtf!? no camera at a football game? Maybe cause he saw me taking pictures outside of the stadium…anyways, quite lame, so I went to the other line and of course the other security guard asked to check what was in my bags… I’m like fine…he looked in the bag, saw a few lenses, and he asked me if I had a camera. I’m said, this is all I have, what is in the bag. Funny enough, I was let in, and my ‘disassembled’ camera seemed to be OK.

Anyways, on to the game.

Tailgating and walking over to the LA Coliseum is half the experience of any USC game day!

It was sprinkling a bit before the game, seriously thought it was going to be pouring throughout…

My fraternity bros, Dave and Eric – seeing old faces is the best part of Homecoming!

Our third touchdown here, Sanchez to Gable ending the 1st quarter 21-0

Experience it in video- just uploaded…few moments for processing

Sigh* – I miss the student seating section, who doesn’t like cheerleaders + USC football?

Kicking the ball off again to them…this happened alot :)

Sanchez back to throw…

A nothing but epic 90,000+ stadium!

Generations of Trojan fans in the making!

For anyone who lives anywhere remotely close to Southern California, you must go check out the beaches, and the beach of all beaches is Salt Creek Beach! This isn’t your typical huge beach with tons of tourists and randoms, it is the beach of the locals, in a relatively recluse area as well.

It was definitely due time to take the new camera on a run, so here were a few of the shots I was able to pick up going from Dana Point to Salt Creek Beach, all in the same 5 mile radius.

Kayaking in the Harbor, always a fun adventure

The birds be chillin’
