In February, I self published two zines of my photography work. The first “Talk of the Town” zine is a compilation of photos that I took while walking and taking the train or bus around my town, Oakland. There are color and black and white photos of people and places that I feel make this town so special. The second zine “Rudos vs Tecnicos” is the first volume of photos that I have taken since October 2016 of the California Lucha Libre, a Mexican Style wrestling club, located here in the Bay Area. I have been following and documenting this underground Lucha Libre extravaganza. The men and women of this club are very serious and amazing at what they do. They practice three times a week on top of their full time jobs. They hold the main events once a month. The next event is this Saturday, May 6, in Hayward, Ca.
I have a few left for sale on my online site:
