Yesterday I did my typical hike on the La chua trail. I saw the alligators that are always there and some turtles. As I was a little more than half way through the trail, about 30 feet in front of me was a BISON! I heard that people have seen them on the trails, but this was a first for me. I took a few shots of it. As it got closer to me (about 15 feet), it stopped and looked at me. With the trail only being 15 feet wide, I had nowhere to go. I went to the edge of the trail and stood still. After a few seconds, it galloped past me then continued to graze. When it galloped past me it had to be less than 10 feet away from me. I felt the wind that it created while passing by.
I always thought that the alligators were the coolest things I’d see on the trail, I was wrong. After seeing the bison, I was fine with not seeing an alligator walking around or catching a fish. I hope that I have another close encounter with a bison!
The photos can be found in the Gainesville gallery.

Not too much has been going on. Unfortunately, there’s only one image that follows this update.
It’s the last image in the Gainesville galleryI’m going to have six pieces on display at the Reitz Union Gallery from Oct. 5-18. You should check it out.
Sorry for the lack of excitement.

On Monday morning (four hours before class) I returned from my nine day trip to Washington, D.C. For the last few years I’ve been wanting to travel to the Capital, but always ended up in a different state instead. I had a good time in D.C., I went to a countless amount museums, saw all of the main monuments and memorials (some of the lesser know ones, too) and hung out with my cousin, Jessica, who lives there. Jessica invited me to stay at her apartment during my visit and didn’t mind that I took her literally when she said, “Stay as long as you want.”
The photos from this trip can be viewed in the Washington, D.C. gallery under Fine Art.
That’s all for now and I hope you enjoy.

I must say, it’s been a busy few weeks. Difficult courses over the summer aren’t too much fun-especially when those classes are laws of communication and other communication classes. I’ve gone to a few shows since the summer term started. I finally got to see The Cure on Friday after waiting for over six months for the show. The band played an amazing three hour set that covered many songs from their 30 year existence.
Other than music and school, I’ve gone on a few hikes in Paynes Prairie, a Florida state park. Although I’ve completed four hikes, a total of 18.5 miles, I’ve only taken one photo- that photo being one of my favorite wildlife shots. The photo can be found in the Gainesville gallery (third row, third image).
That’s all for now and I hope you enjoy.

Last week, on the 10th, I went down to the Talent Farm in Pembroke Pines to see my boys in
T13C, a Gainesville based band, perform. This summer marks three years that I’ve known
Mike and Joe from the band. I had my camera gear with me the first time I saw them, and I
had it with me eleventy billionth time.
I think it’s time for me to get a photo with them.
A new gallery titled Live Music was created for this show (under Fine Art).

It’s been a while since I last updated, about two months. I’m currently on the first summer
break of the season. It’s nice to be able to wake up and not have to worry about writing a
paper or going to class. Now that I have a few free days, it’s the ideal time to update the Web
site.
I haven’t been able to shoot as much as I’d like to (due to school). But the few times I’ve gone
out I captured some interesting images.
1. Gainesville_Bivens_Arm_001 (first image of the gallery)
About three weeks ago I went to Bivens Arm and came across this five foot gator. Rather than
getting away from it, I thought it would be far more exciting to get some close ups of the
reptile. After kneeling down only seven feet away from the alligator, I was able to walk away
with all 10 fingers.

3. Sk8 (last image of the gallery)
The idea of this photo came to me when I was driving down from Gainesville. This photo only
took two tries and wasn’t as difficult as I expected it to be.

I got back from spring break
about eight hours ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t get
out to shoot during the
10 days I was down. I just posted some photos a few days
before I headed back to Plantation,
Fla. Hope you enjoy…Don’t molest the gators.

Along with the new year,
new galleries have been added.
Gainesville
and New
Smyrna are the two photo galleries that have
been recently added.
The Gainesville
gallery will slowly expand as time progresses.
Three new pieces have been
added to the graphic
design area of the site: "Compass,"
"Ladyfish_Promo_Flyer"
and "SPC2300."
Within the next seven months
I hope to have the opportunity to travel to both Boston
and Israel. Like always,
the photos will be uploaded upon my return.
Hope you enjoy the new galleries!

I did a promo shoot with the Jacksonville-based band “Ladyfish” on the tenth of November. The shoot took place in the 13th street tunnel in Gainesville (on the UF campus). It’s been a few years since the last band shoot, but it was nice to break away from the “typical style” of shooting. The photos can be viewed here: Ladyfish Promo.

It’s been a while since I last updated the Web site or sent out a news letter.
Many may know that I’ve been studying at Broward Community College in order to transfer to UF. Over the summer I received my AA from BCC, now I’m attending UF and living in Gainesville, Fla.
I’m hoping that in the next two weeks I’ll be able to take some photos of the campus and post them on the Web site.
I have finally added the Auto gallery to the new Web site.
A somewhat new addition to the site is the Mountain Dew dewDIY gallery. dewDIY was a contest sponsored by Mountain Dew in which students from different universities created art or gear that promoted the beverage. The images I worked with for the contest were photos that I took on various photo shoots.
- Nov. 6. Bill Nye “The Science Guy” will be presenting a speech at UF. I hope someone gets tased so Nye can explain the mechanics behind it.
- Oct. 15. Arun Gandhi, the grandson of the late Mahatma Gandhi, did a spoken words presentation here at UF. The stories he told from when he spent time with his grandfather were amazing. It comes to no surprise that Gandhi’s speech reminded me very much of the one that the Dalai Lama made in South Florida back in 2004.
- Oct. 13. I went to the T13C video shoot for their song “From the Stereo,” it was a lot of fun. The only downside to the shoot was the fact that we listened to the same song over and over again for 3 hours. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product.
- Oct. 12. The world renowned photographer Jerry Uelsmann had about 50 pieces of his work on display at the University Gallery. It was truly amazing to see his work in person. His elaborate post-processing always amazed me, but to see the final images in person and see how sterile his work is, it’s mind boggling. After viewing the wonderful exhibit I had the opportunity to interview Uelsmann for an article I’m writing for my reporting class. During the interview I was extremely nervous, I reached levels of nervousness that I never knew existed. In the past I’ve met and interviewed countless musicians such as Vanilla Ice, Art from Everclear, Dickie from the Bosstones, T13C, Against All Authority, New Found Glory, Sugar Cult and Gary Fong, but nervousness and stress didn’t faze me. I was a train wreck when I was speaking to Uelsmann!

On May 9th I got back from San
Francisco. The trip was great and the weather
was
perfect! It’s definitely
a fun city. The only downside to the trip (besides the
hills) was: after landing
back in Fort Lauderdale, I had to be in class 3 hours
later.
ALSO,
as you can see, DigitalGreg has been remodeled.
Hope you enjoy.

Here
are the images from St Augustine, FL.
The approach I took with
these photos is different then my typical "photo
journalistic" style. A dreary
fantasy is what these photos resemble. Hope you enjoy!

The new event calendar
for the 2007 year is up.
On January 24, 2007 I
was informed that I was accepted to the University of
Florida (UF).
In August I will be relocating
to Gainesville to further my education in Public Relations.
January
3rd I voyaged north to St. Augustine for a mini get-a-way
with Diana. A few stress free
and relaxing days were needed before school went back
in session. A great time was had by
both. The architecture and history that the city holds
is unbelievable.
The photos from St Augustine
will be online soon.
