Bienvenidos! Sunday, November 1, 2009 we traveled a few miles north to Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside to celebrate Dia De Los Muertos. Day of the Dead or "All Souls Day" is a festive occasion in which we honor and celebrate the dead. This holiday is firmly rooted in mesoamerican cultures. It was quite a spectacle to behold and it made me proud of my Mexican heritage. Without further adieu, here's some pictures from Dia De Los Muertos: http://bit.ly/3hxDL3

Howdy folks. I uploaded a few more images from last week's D23 Expo from Anaheim California.

To those that don't know the D23 Expo was an experience that brought all facets of the Disney Company to all the fans. Fans were given a rare inside peek of the inner workings of Disney. It was an exhausting 4 day schedule but we loved every moment of it. It was a real treat to talk with Imagineers, Artists, Animators and other notable Disney luminaries!

I sure hope they do another Expo like this next year! It was an experience I'll never forget.

This is the oldest thing I have in my possession at the moment.

Just thinking about where this penny has been, how many times it sat in a cash register, in a piggy bank, in a swear jar and the many times it had been discarded or treasured.

I think I'm going to hold onto this one. It's pretty special.

A facebook video test.

I like facebook's video interface. Great quality and fast to boot.

This footage was filmed using my Lumix TZ-50 and edited in iMovie 09. I compressed the movie down using QT Pro and uploaded it onto Facebook.

Filmed at the awesome, historic Bahooka Restaurant in Rosemead, California. If you look close enough you'll see that they filmed "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" in this very restaurant.

Let see how this turns out.

This could possibly be one of the best artist's profiles that this magazine has ever run. It's also officially the lengthiest. Every word is worth it. If you are a fan of low brow art, you owe it to yourself to read about Robert Williams.

I've got to say, this was one of the coolest experiences of my life. Being able to meet this great man, what the dude represents was just awe inspiring.

I have a small collection of pics from that day, you can check 'em out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hiway7/sets/72157605819264919/

Thanks fer lookin'
