He brings to light local artists to build stronger, well-defined cultural capital for the city. We have conducted a short interview with him: Why did you choose to be a Photographer in Long Beach CA? How differently are you doing this and which key elements in this work inspires you?
 I moved to Long Beach from Los Angeles to attend Long Beach State, at the time I really just wanted to take a break from LA. But little did I know how amazing is this city’s culture! I’m truly blown away from the diversity of its people. Long Beach and its citizens are very tolerant people for the most part and value art. This environment really transformed me from a party photographer to a photographer who realizes that I can make change in the world with my camera. I’m inspired by my marketing studies in the Uni. Together with my theatre degree – I have ...

TASH Cosmetics - SKIN SOAP JUNKIE

Tasha Castagna from Clayton, Ca. is a professional makeup artist and skin care developer. A beauty lover, blogger, Youtuber and author. We have conducted a short interview with her. What have you accomplished so far as a Skin Care line developer?  I've accomplished what I thought to be the Impossible! Clear Beautiful Skin for my self and others who had lost hope that it was or may even be possible. A lot of girls only dream about having clear, glowing skin but the truth is makeup can only go so far in accomplishing that. It's what under the makeup that counts. The products you use to wash your face can truly make a lasting impression. Many people don't know this but your skin will actually absorb 65% of what you put on it "topically". That's huge! We like to think of our Skin Care line as "Skin Food" you wouldn't put just anything in your body would you? Not if your health conscious! So why would you put just anything on your skin? ...

1Branch graphic design and web development

Image
Paul Etienne from Naples, FL is graphic designer and web developer and the founder of 1Branch . We have conducted a short interview with him. How does 1Branch differs in social networking features in comparison to Facebook? We are a Christian social networking platform, so that makes it different from everything you’ve heard about before because the environment is different. It also connects Christians with other Christians based on their denominations through features like “Branching and prayer box”. We have top stories where we share trending news about the Christian faith, and we also have a feature called “Broadcast” where we share Christian related videos. What kind of problems does it solve, and why is it necessary to use 1Branch? 1Branch is a platform that links you automatically with members who share your denomination, and from there you can ask questions anonymously about things you don’t like, understand, or that confuse, and even about secrets your denominat...

Eye of the Dragon

Vincent Chan is an actor from Devon, UK. He just completed his web series called Eye of the Dragon . We have conducted a short interview with him. What are the challenges to be a director and actor in the web series? The biggest problem I faced was acting and directing myself at the same time. The fight sequence in the final episode was the most difficult because I had to concentrate on my martial arts moves and at the same time picture how the fight would look on camera. This made me wary of my movement and positioning because I wanted to ensure the scene was filmed as I had imagined it. There were a number of times when I thought I executed a punch or a kick at the right angle, at the right speed etc. But when the footage was played back to me, I realised my positioning was all wrong or the move wasn't executed as well as I thought. So, we did have to do a lot of retakes. How long did you take to produce and film your web series titled "Eye of the Dragon"?...
