Rocco’s Tacos is some what of a icon to the street of Clematic. Every 5th of May they shut down the street for a good old fashion block party! Music, Tacos and Tequila! (the true three amigos!) It was a all day event! People started to arrive right before the sun went down. DJ Adam Lipson was playing the tunes from on top of a huge monster truck parked right in the middle of Clematis Street. As you can see by video It was a fun time! I can’t wait till next years Cinco De Mayo! By the way at the end of the video I added some footage of this killer saxophone player jamming out with the DJ.So if your in West Palm Beach on the 5th of May you must come out to the Rocco’s Tacos on Clematis in lovely downtown.

SunFest is Florida’s largest waterfront music and art festival. Held annually in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida the first week in May, SunFest attracts more than 280,000 visitors. This year I had a chance to Film one of my favorite local bands The People UpStairs. Their musical genre is a mix between Funk, Reggae & Rock. This video clip features a remix of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons “Beggin” with Jose “Weasal” Rangel doing a Rap.

Lions, Tigers and Bride? In this case, Yes! I had the honor to film the wedding of Nicole and Neil at the Palm Beach Zoo. The Zoo was a cool place to do a wedding. There are many places to shoot there that provide a different background that you don’t see in your everyday wedding photo or video. Nicole took a liking to the Mayan Temple area. This is a preview of the video I am working on. Stephanie of EMinDee Image did the photography and her work is showcased in the video. Stephanie and her team where easy to work with and professional. More videos to come on this event so keep your eyes open for it!

Music
“First day of my life” – Bright Eyes
