favorite moments in shots

February 19, 2025 — Leave a comment

The keys that I am typing, using, taping, stroking… either way the keys are not ink pens, yet the way the words in this font appear on my tablet are literally giving me life. The aesthetics, the sensation, the flow of all that can make up a fulfilling writing session. It brings a rush that is lowkey indescribable, an “IYKYK” sorta vibe, as the moderns would say. Writing has always evoked the goodness within my feels, but for obvious reasons I use the word ‘always’ quite loosely…when was the last time I fuckin’ wrote anything?! Well, in public? From time to time I journal but not mos def enough, I dabbled in fiction writing, still not enough. I even started on some erotica in one of my many notebooks; not nearly enough real life excitement for that, sorry pervies. But it all feels energizing nonetheless, I can only thank the universe and my ancestors for magnetizing a burst of creative juices within my mind and spirit. Time comes along and passes by, rather we are in some form of waiting or not, time will just keep on timing as it marches through your life. It changes paths and outlooks, so I’m geeked out and grateful in this moment, even in these days.

Clearly it has been years since I have posted anything on my website, and now that we’re in ’25 my last post date made me a little queasy when I read it. So much shit has happened since then *nervous laugh* and a lot of it has impacted our lives for good, while having to adapt to emanate uncertainty aka more of us are straight up living in survival mode on the daily…whatever that means for you or myself, it became even more real in the past 5 years. But I digress! You wanna see some pictures and I want to show em to ya, real bad 🙂 the shots in this post are from a few of my all time favorite shoots and they hold crazy good memories in the heart, not just the memory cards. Please enjoy, and let me know what you think! Feedback is fuel, kids.

Graduation Day 2024

Failure x Swervedriver @ The Fonda Theater

On some occasions timing has a way of being in your favorite and presents the perfect chance to grab life by its horns of focus. Last year, I began feeling the urge to get my thoughts and experiences out onto paper/screen. And I hadn’t felt such an urge since taking a magazine writing class a few years back. It went beyond the desire to enter a new journal passage or research/review the latest social strain on the world around me, which could sometimes pledged my mind. I wanted to extensively answer the writer within myself , twisting my own reality in with dystopian fiction and societal “what the fucks”.

So I began to do what I like to call creative scrying and started on a story that will likely be published one of these upcoming days, even if only for the sake of doing being weirdly artistic. When I was a younger girl I wanted to be a singer. *sensing your hard eye roll* But I also loved reading music magazines and writing in school; that’s fulfilled me more than watching TRL and eating potato chips. All of those interest are still with me, unshaken by the pursuit of studying a handful of other subjects: radio broadcasting and psychology being a couple of them. The latter is still something I fuck with 😈 because it’s just so goddamn open.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a blog entry, now that we’re here and talking etcetera… But this is truly a special kind of post. One with a link to something mega cool that I put my whole self into, it even has pictures! I’m happy as hell that I was given the chance to cover another highly anticipated concert, this time at home in L.A. Check out my full review of Failure and Swervedriver’s last night of their Spring tour, freshly published by the ever awesome Cryptic Rock. It was a true blast of an experience for a die hard music fan like myself.

That Friday Night with She Wants Revenge

June 22, 2018 — Leave a comment

The city of San Diego has pulled at my heartstrings for just about a few years now, and I greatly love that place and all of its glorious non L.A. energy. Two weeks ago I had the chance to bask in the joy of doing a few new things on a solo trip, including the first time I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing Darkwave band She Wants Revenge live on stage. The Music Box in San Diego seemed to truly fit the band’s well known deliverance of fluent energy, dark yet always plentiful with warmth and the fuzziest of emotions. Adam Bravin opened for “himself” to start the night with his solo project Love, Ecstasy and Terror; making the entire show even more special.

Here I proudly post the results of my first official photo pass with a few shots of She Wants Revenge, flaunting their stuff at one of the coolest venues I’ve ever discovered.

Cheers to all! ~Cg7view.weebly.com

Get Down On A Saturday Night: Jason Taylor’s Birthday and EP release Party

April 30, 2018 — Leave a comment

Here we are closing in on another month in 2018, another gloomy day in Los Angeles as “true” Spring days have spoiled us all, some of us are craving a bit more sunshine for a needed true energy boost. April has been a month enriched with musical events, the experiences that come along with each of the artist/bands show, a variety of new album releases with announcements , and tons of new music discovery to start the month of May in good spirits.

The Study on Hollywood Boulevard has a charm about it that feels quaint and welcoming from what can and does lurk right outside its doors, so I am always up for a reason to visit and soak up the atmosphere. Last Saturday night was nothing short of refreshing as there was so much to be excited for: a debut album release and live performance while celebrating the big 30 with the club’s entire crowd.

Jason Ryan Taylor’s brand new EP ‘Creation Creator’ was written entirely by himself and presents a seven track audible burst of warm revitalizing tones that should be placed on repeat and adsorbed to the fullest of listening potential, Spotify and those compact disk that some of us older people still play are both more than acceptable. The show marked the first time I’ve seen Jason live and was certainly a bonus treat for my photographer/videographer side; his energy was captured by the camera undoubtedly sparked up some ever-chill Jack White flare. I think it’s safe to say that I am now a super-fan as well as creation- influenced, and that is always cause for a double dose of happy.
