When I was 17, my first job was working for 36 years of experienced photographer in Fullerton. Then early 90's I quit photography all together and doing other stuff like contractor, real estate agent. But always my passion was in photography. About 8 years ago, I took over Star Shots at West Covina. Now operating as Star Studio. I'm mostly stuck in the studio all week taking crying babies, prom couples, bickering families. Over 8 years of same pictures over and over, sometime it's not fun! Yes! I'm a mall photographer, but I can be more than just mall photographer. I did have a mad skill with great creativity, but this mall photos just suck all my creativeness away from me.. One of the reason when I quit photography was I just don't want to be a just struggling & starving artist. Being a mall photographer pay my bills and some. So time to time I like to mix em-up, and shoot what I really wanted to shoot and get back on the track. Some might say I'm turning in to a "GWC", LOL!
