BUJU Tattoo



Last month I did a photo shoot for Brianna Sargent owner of Buju Tattoo. This is a brand new tattoo shop in San Diego located at 914 W. Washington Street San Diego, CA 92103. I've been in many a tattoo shop in my day, and I must say this one is setting a new curve. The shop is tranquil and serene. I am so impressed by the layout, design and organic feel of the shop. Additionally, another extremely cool aspect of the shop is that it is named after Brianna's dog, BUJU, a lil blue pit who is such a lover! And the talent,,, Buju Tattoo has 3 female tattoo artists and one male. All of their portfolios are outstanding - beautiful work, so much talent under one roof. If your looking to get that next tattoo, I definitely would give Buju Tattoo a stop by - meet the artists and check it out.. it is truly unique to SD.

Some photos from the shoot.


















Brianna & her boyfriend Adam - purchased some artwork from me which they now have on display at the shop: BUJU 2'x2' dog panel and a 4'x4' Shepard Fairey documentary piece that I call "Queen Theater". **Go check them out!

The Barking Lot


I was recently made aware of new dog rescue facility opening in San Diego called The Barking Lot. I decided to volunteer my photography for the dogs up for adoption. In February, I went to the rescue and set up a studio - and photographed the pooches at the new rescue facility in El Cajon, CA.

Here are some of my favorites photos from the day - along with some of my favorite pooches.. One photo you'll see is 'Big Head Fred' the black 3-legged dog (below),, - someone adopt him please!! - my heart aches for the big fellow, he needs a good LOVING home, and YES they ALL deserve good loving homes. Big love and much respect to The Barking Lot,, talk about about a group of amazing, selfless - human angels.. very inspiring.

& No I'm not just photographing dogs these days - been busy photographing people as well.. ha Just sharing some fun, and some pooches that need homes. Contact the Barking Lot should you be interested in adopting... (*note - some of these dogs have already been adopted - but not all!!)
