MiraCosta College Theatre
My daughter attended 2025 Actors Academy
It was an intense 5week corse 5days a week for 10hrs a day and on last week it was 13/14hrs a day to perform Beowulf. I’m so incredibly proud of her! It’s bitter sweet to say goodbye to track 3 friends she made but I believe they are forever friends. More photos to come just wanted to post what I could asap.

Seriously! Even when you make collages or any kind of post of my photography in any way even a profile photo, this is work that I voluntarily did for you please be respectful. How would you like me cutting out your signature or taking credit for any of your creations? If that makes me a bad guy or you hate me then that is your problem and I will no longer be spending hours editing or the hours breaking my back to get the shot for you let alone giving any more that I already have. You may think you have the right because you are in it but people pay professional and a mature photographers thousands. I’ve been doing photography since I was 13yrs old and have learned how to roll my own film developed and or printing on huge enlargements in dark rooms and developing the print in solution. I’ve been in many classes and constantly learning. In high school I did the yearbooks from the photography to the layouts to even journalism. I’ve have contracted jobs with huge companies. To taking photos of brand new in hospital newborn. I’ve worked at events with celebrities and at amusements parks. I’ve been on the track in roller derby in my skates and have my camera besides working bouts and taking team photos. In high school I also photographed the sports especially the CIF championship and or any playoffs. I’ve taken family photos to landscapes and pets for money. I’ve been certified through companies and have 31yrs of experience. Plus an associates in art. Please be respectful, especially when I’m volunteering my time my body expensive equipment hours of editing and metal exhaustion. But mostly if I asked you specifically to just leave my watermark in and you cut it out after the fact you have lost my respect and trust. Sorry not sorry.
