At the Motel with Betty Nice

I've known local model/photographer Betty Nice for quite a while now.. Even worked a 9-5 with her for a few years, but not until a few months ago did we shoot. I told her to meet me at a local motel to see what we could capture...

(here are just a few of the photos we got)

Salinas Gettin Exposed

Went out last night in Salinas to do some shooting for the Salinas Exposed photo exhibit.

I have a lot of fun shooting at night, you never know what you'll capture or who you'll run into.

Good times..
