Hi, my name is Michael

In Memory of Myla LaRue

I remember..........

the first time my mother bought me a 110 film Mickey Mouse camera from Service Merchandise many moons ago, at that moment was when I used my first camera to capture moments with my friends, family and my late brother Augustine Vidal. It was in the early 90's when my roommate Lisa Elliot let me borrow her Nikon professional camera to capture my friend the late Jerry Arellano AKA Myla LaRue; we played around one evening and did a photoshoot and was so happy with t he photos that I decided photography was one of my callings.

Needless to say as years went on I purchased my first Nikon and began my photog career, and starting taking a few classes in college. In the mid 2000s I ended up hanging the coat with photography, as years went on I thought I would never get back to photography, until one year my best friend Carmen Gonzalez inspired me to get back to what I once loved; and here I am today because of her and others that inspired me. I love everyone to the moon and back!

Love,

Michael
