Yesterday I met a a rare bird who happens to be wonderful photographer. She invited me to her fav local spot to shoot some wildlife and nature pics. Lucky for me, she even let me snap a few pics of her for fun :) Thanks Jen @californiacaptured for introducing me to such a cool place and for the great hang and photography tips. #photography #portraitphotography #naturephotography #nature #photographer #singer #singersongwriter #artist #artistic #huntingtonbeach #california (at Huntington Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv11MY8jNNL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fzvzgx5wl5jh

So... I captured this pic last night. I had the longest day ever yesterday. I drove 6.5 hours to SF to sing at Ben’s 40th bday. Got there an hour early to setup. Sang for 3.5 hours. Took me an hour to breakdown my gear and load up the car and eat dinner. Had been battling an allergy cold all week so wasn’t feeling like hanging out and was kinda wired so I decided to drive towards home until I got tired. Ended up driving all the way home which was almost 6 hours. Quite the long day I must say. Dedication or stupidity??? I’m gonna say maybe a little of both but I played a fun gig and captured this killer photo around Gilroy. #moon #light #lightofthemoon #moonlight #nightphotography #mooncapture #artist #drive #drivebyshooting #gilroy #singersongwriter #singer #mattshockley (at Gilroy, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvaBkW6jnFW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lrkrvvkwdok2

Had a really great time yesterday in SF playing at Ben’s 40th!! Thanks Ben!! Oh and look at the fun stairs I had to climb and carry all of my gear up before and after the show. Took 6 trips up and 6 trips down. It doesn’t look high but it was two flights and about 30+ steps. The price we musicians pay for pursuing our dreams haha (at Piccino) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvZ-eMlDcHP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ksvagfnkkfos

Here’s a pic I took of tonight’s supermoon captured with my Canon 1DXMarkII and my 100-400mm lens at 400mm. Cropped in and it still looks great in black and white. #supermoon #moon #fullmoon #lightofthemoon #lightofthe🌕 #🌙 #canon #1dxmarkii #400mm #blackandwhite #photography #nightphotography (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvQeSUdjzeZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bfb5hxbrhoc8
