Scavage - A Documentary Series

Hey guys, so I am a photo journalist major and I am currently taking a documentary photography class with Brandy Worsfold (awesome teacher, if you need to learn about photography) And at the beginning of the term we as a class voted on how we wanted to get our name out there to the public and it was between doing a documentary book, or having an art show. The majority ruled that we decided to have an art show. It took us a while to get a gallery that would show our work because galleries fill up fast in Sacramento. But we finally got one, and we finally have a show this up coming weekend!! Even better it's on second Saturday! We had 4 groups and each group took different photos. One was documenting janitors on campus, another was wild life in Sacramento, one was light-rail, and my group was campus at night. We are all super looking forward to our first show, because if you want to be a photographer its all about getting your name out there and selling your work.

So this Saturday it would be awesome if you could join us at the Artist Collaborative Gallery, in Old Sac. Its located at 129 K St  Sacramento, CA 95814

It starts at 5pm!

Help get our names out there, and come enjoy a awesome show!




Here are a couple of my photos from the campus at night group, and our flyer we made for the showing.

Local Success

Sacramento's skate scene has had their fair share of local success stories. People such as John Cardiel, Omar Salazar, Stefan Janowski and Brandon Biebel. Skaters are constantly waiting for their moment to shine, some make it and then some break it. The media is a huge part of the skate scene, because having a video come out and being sponsored by a company is important, because you are finally a walking billboard. Being able to have the access to post videos to sites such as YouTube, HellaClips, Berrics, and many other skate sites is crucial. It is one of the main ways to become noticed in the skate scene. The more videos you have the more likely you are to get noticed by companies, skate shops, teams, etc. It is extremely important to skaters to have all of their footage up and available for as many viewers as possible. This week a Sacramento native had yet another big moment to shine in the skate world. His name is Miles Silvas.Miles is 17 years old and was first sponsored as a young teen. Miles skates with his local crew, FOFA, and also rides for PLA Skate (located in Folsom). He has been in featured in videos such as "The Berrics" (which is Eric Kostons and Steve Berras indoor street skate park that features new videos from new and upcoming skaters to the old pros), Organika, and the most recent video for Lakai. Miles Silvas had his newest video come out on Tuesday, and man oh man is it sick! He was lucky enough to be the front page video of Hella Clips (a popular skateboarding video website) Miles is doing everything right and making his name known!

So check him out and enjoy some awesome skating!
