Well, it’s been a while since I did an update on this project.

I’ve been really busy working at NUEVA.
As well as rebranding, switching domains, building assets for YouTube projects, and mapping out my future as a photographer in the midst of the pandemic.

Here’s what been happening with my life and the project.

1. I re-branded.

I wanted something easier to spell/remember/speak aloud. I think “okpebbs” is the golden ticket.

2. I’ve been working full time in a fairly busy kitchen.

For those not aware, kitchen work is pretty draining, the pay sucks and it often comes without benefits.

3. I’ve been setting the stage to start shooting some big YouTube projects.

I’d elaborate on them further, but I figure it’s better done than said.

4. I’ve been building an outdoor studio kit.

This will enable me to shoot all the photography projects at a safe “socially-distant” distance.

5. I’ve

🎉 PARTY ANIMALS (free photoshoots)🐶🐱🐷. Hello neighbors!
​​
​​I’m a local photographer who’s bored out of their mind. I’m one of those types that need to keep the ball moving in terms of creativity/new-work in order to get anything done. Essentially, I need new stuff to continue work on old stuff.
​​
​​Soooo, I’m posting here to see if there’s any interest in y'all coming out to shoot free portraits of your pets in the park. (I’d eventually be down to schedule outdoor shoots individually, eventually, but seeing if I can make this format safe and workable).
​​
​​It will be totally free. I’m testing out some different proofing sites and working on logistics, scheduling, and timing for doing a bunch of individual shoots whilst maintaining safe social distancing, and not forming a large congregation.
