Design For Humanity

Every year Billabong puts on this charity event to benefit different charities each year. This year it was The Cultivate Foundation. That is all about famers and getting the USA of processed food. The event was major fun. I got to work my photo skills again and shot the event along with a bunch of other photographers. But I had something they didn't have...ALL ACCESS. I got to go where ever I wanted. The night was long even when the event ended it didn't stop. The party then spilled over to the W hotel where most of the VIPs and Billabong Staff was staying. The night started off with great DJ's getting everyone excited to see some live music. They were followed by the first band
IMAGINE DRAGONS

Followed by WALK THE MOON


Next Was the Fashion Show. Where they showcased the Spring 2013 swim line

After that was THE LUMINEERS. I was un able to get any photos of them due to I was pulled to VIP to shoot some photos of famous people. Sean White, Miss Cali, Glee Cast you know people like them.

Last but certainly not least was THE JOY FORMIDABLE

This event is all was a must and blows every other industry event out of the water. US Open Of Surfing has nothing on this event. Here is a little recap video of the night.

Ohana

So being the great brother and son that I am. I made the choice to pay to fly my mom, sister and her little girl come out from North Carolina and spend two great weeks here on the west coast. It was filled with fun and good times. We went to Disneyland, Sea World, Rented a Duffy Boat and Had good food. I got some great shots from the two weeks here are the top ones.
