My Mexican Sister 2008-03-02 20:25:52 In August of ‘06 Miriam Elizabeth Macip came into my moms house in San Clemente as a foreign exchange student.

Wet Feet 2008-03-14 04:44:24 Yesterday was an early day in the studio with Dan Snipes and the SDA crew. This time we were shooting product shots of a few different chairs for catalogue and brochures.
