UPDATE: Beckett Simonon’s new line of shoes are in! Check out my new review here!
I recently picked up a pair of kicks from Beckett Simonon in my quest to find higher quality dress shoes at a price that didn’t make me want to cry myself to sleep at night on an empty stomach. I settled on the Caine oxford cap-toes. This is my experience so far.

EDIT: Beckett Simonon is launching a somewhat new, pre-order based business model, so the Caine oxfords are no longer available. You can read about the relaunched business here, or visit here to see Beckett Simonon’s current lineup of products.
Last month I was again invited to shoot the BEAT SC bonfire rally at UCLA. To get more coverage, I asked Yoselin from 6 Mono Media to assist me as second photographer.

What do you know — just after I wrote about the Nikon D3300, a smoking Black Friday deal shows up!
Beach Camera (legit) is selling the refurbished D3300, including Adobe Lightroom 5 (!), for $379.99 with free shipping via their Ebay page. If you’re in the market for an entry-level DSLR, I would snag this now before it’s gone!
Now that DSLRs (digital single lens reflex) cameras are so affordable, more and more people are interested in high-quality photography. Although mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras have gained quite a bit of popularity, nothing beats the speed, control, versatility, and quality of a good DSLR.
There are a lot of cameras to choose from out there. Many people just getting into photography often ask me where to start. Here are my recommendations.
