WHOIS,RUIZ?

Tests n’ Teasers

A couple ideas I’ve been playing around with lately —->

A Long Time Comin’ - “Hired Gun”

Three years after production, Hired Gun is finally finished.  It’s been a long and bumpy road and I’d like to thank everyone who gave so much to this project.  Check out these two teasers for the film.

…these are old.

I found these old posters I made while taking a digital media arts class back home at HCC five years ago.

Props to me for not making them the same dimensions. Ha.

Good fun.

35mm 1.4 Nikkor test

I got this “new” (old) lens a couple weeks ago and gave it a test on good ol’ Georgino.

…gotta love Oakland

I really like the handwritten layout and style of this sign, it’s very eye catching.  Kinda reminds me of Fritz the Cat.  

Hilo, Hawaii: Kaumana Bypass - 2005

During my junior year of high school, Aaron, Bruce and I would ditch to go skate the soon to be opened Kaumana bypass.  The smooth, curvy new highway turned out to be a 20 minute, mostly downhill ride (super stoked).  Our first time down, construction wasn’t even finished and when we reached the bottom our bearings were caked with grime and would barely spin.

I shot these photos with my old 35mm Yashica, but wasn’t able to grab any with Aaron because Bruce wasn’t old enough to drive the pickup car.  

I’ll remember these two weeks for the rest of my life.

SFO to ITO - “Hi.”

My first time home in two and a half years, I decided to film the journey back.  No waterfalls or rainbows.  Just going home.
