Sandgar Live!

Its been a whole two years since my last post. Since then I have graduated from SF State, traveled the states, and survived in SF as a freelance photographer and videographer. I have matured, I have learned, I have grown and I continue to want to explore. My camera still by my side.

I am rediscovering the beauty of old film. Both moving and still images. And through the help of my parents, started a collection of old vintage cameras. I am also researching overseas schools for cinematography. If you know of any, do tell.

I am eager to get back to journalism. I feel that I am well off, enough, where I can afford to become a journalist again. As most of you all know, journalist are poor starving artist and with the ever changing profession, most journalist make enough to scrap on by. Yet, its the people, the stories, the access to places and adventure that journalism brings to me, that I still can't let go of.

Until then, I will be shooting and posting more often than not. I just finished my website, so please go visit.

So Enjoy and thank you for visiting.

More from the SF Bay Area Derby Girls mud wrestling.

BONNIE DOOM

Standing in at 5'5'', Bonnie Doom didn't stand much of a threat to any opponent in the ring. Her hands clamped up as she raised them to her chin, then back down. She would jitter them out to get rid of the anxiety she was building up, but that didn't help much. She even had to ask permission to take a shot, as the organizer didn't want the girls to be too dipsy. The shots looked more like cough syrup measured for five year-olds. I have never done this before, she said.


She was among first-time mud wrestlers putting on a show to benefit the Bay Area Derby Girls at Cell Space in San Francisco, Friday, February 6, 2009. The benefit show would provide the girls with funds to continue practicing three times a week for their monthly bouts.


Bonnie Doom hit the mud in two different events, coming out with huge smiles from the pit. "The worst part is the mud in my ears," she said after a triumphant second match, entitled, the best of the worst.


This is just a short photo story on her adventure that night.
