Portrait of a friend from high school, Amer Saleemi at his new house in Diamond Bar. Amer is an old friend, such a character. He studies physics and he has the best hair ever. His new lawn is amazing, so soft and green!!! I need to spend more time in Diamond Bar.

I LOVE OC

Tue, 30 Apr 2013 11:28:00 -0400

Does anyone care ? I know why LA people hate the OC, but I secretly love it. I feel more at home in Orange County than L.A. So nice to be exploring corporate business parks again, reminds me of my childhood. I grew up in a neighborhood surrounded by business parks and would get kicked out of the same ones every night for skateboarding with my brothers.

The people are way nicer too. Damn. This guy Tony washing the Ferrari has an auto-detailing business contract with residents of this fancy high rise in Irvine and was super down to let me shoot around. Love red cars. Couldn’t help it. Going back to see him next week! He said the Ferrari was nothing compared to some of his other client’s cars. yay

Lil' Armenia - April 24

Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:31:07 -0400

Here are a couple photos from earlier today. Shot for a little bit at the annual Armenian Genocide Protest in Little Armenia, Hollywood. I’m super fascinated with Armenian American Culture/history (if you didn’t know.)

Such an interesting story here with super passionate people. You could see 3 generations marching together shouting for justice and recognizance of the genocide from the Turkish government, who denies there ever was a genocide.

It was a little rough shooting it, I would say “Hey guys would you mind if I took your picture?” response would be “Yes bro, I mind. Don’t take my picture.” Fine then bro.

Bloomberg Businessweek Shoot....!

Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:50:00 -0400

A couple weeks ago I got a dream assignment from Bloomberg Businessweek shooting a realtor/real estate story in Suburban North San Diego. I spent the day with realtor Jim Klinge and writer Karen Weise at one of his open houses and on a tour of some other suburban developments in the area. Through his youtube videos, Jim documented the collapse of the Southern California housing market around 2008 and is now documenting the recent boom in the market.

Such a fun day! Felt like personal work, fits right into my book. I got to shoot it how I would shoot any other personal work. Definitely got a couple for my book. Here are some selects………..

Sweet Lolita

Wed, 06 Mar 2013 01:56:57 -0500

I spent this past Sunday photographing a fashion event at UC Irvine called Dollyhouse Runway. The show featured SoCal “Lolita” fashion designers, lolita vendors and a rock band that I didn’t stay for. Lolita fashion from what I understood is where girls dress like dolls.

Felt good shooting personal work and a bunch of film. So nice not looking at the back of a busted ass digital camera for a change..

I just put a bunch of photos on my website: http://damoncasarez.com/sweet-lolita

here are a few!
