For those of you who are confused about the blog title. Or maybe you are thinking that for all this time Carlos Larios has been shooting with an out of date, worthless, shitty, camera?

Yes, you are right! Now-a-days there are camera phones that shoot with a higher mega pixel rate. ha!!

Well, I was always the one who wanted to get good at something, before I invested in upgrading to Professional gear. I managed to be able to come up with images with my 10D, that some photographers with full frame cameras still can’t achieve.

And for that I feel very blessed, as well as thankful for my experiences and friendships with the many talented industry photographers that I had the chance meet.

I write this blog as a thank you and farewell to my Canon EOS 10D!! Because soon I will be sporting the Canon 5D Mark II. Yes, it is in route! That is all I can say about that:)

So what better way to say farewell, then to post the last photos we took together.

This was shot recently. This cute little girl is my niece. It was her birthday.

Also… During the last days of the 10D, I thought…. Why not shoot the people closest to me:) I think it would be a nice parting…. ha!! (I’m a nerd)

Recently it snowed in Vegas (1 week ago)

This was the 1st time my son had a chance to play in the snow!!
It never snows in Las Vegas…. Like, NEVER!! Seriously… NEVER!

A little lens flare action….! I didn’t have my flash with me. THe only light source was the out door lights by the house. I had my setting at 1/60 F 2.8 400 ISO. Not the best photo in the world, but I think it caught the moment:)

What is funny is that on this very day, we were getting on a plane to hit up this place….

f/16 1/160 100ISO… It was a bright day!

Yeah!!! The Bahamas. Atlantis Resort.

The beach was so beautiful and private, I think it is every business persons dream. The reason I say that is because of the peace and quietness. And the ability to not worry about things or deal with stupid people like these idiots or hipsters , Thank God!!! ha!!!

Anyway. I had a blast, and my kid had a blast.

Kids are the best!!

So happy building his sand castles….

Anyway it was a great time and it was so pleasing to spend time with old friends. I got introduce to some awesome people… hit up a bunch of local spots and was treated like family.

I even got to see some familiar adverts!

It’s still funny seeing my old designs still being used…. it’s an honor thou

Great times we had and great images we produced, my 10D and I

Much love!!

Thank you for reading this!!

Cheers from a not so snowy Las Vegas.

Recently, I was in NYC to add a helping hand, as well as supporting my dear friends’ demo at the Chocolate Show! It was a presentation promoting their upcoming restaurant B.B.D’s.

B.B.D’s is an innovative Burger Bar concept which is opening in Babylon, Long Island. (Close to the Hamptons) Its a Rare Concepts Group project.

The Chocolate Show is one of the Biggest Events in the Culinary Industry! It’s a 3 day event, that displays and introduces the new and upcoming individuals and brands that will be hitting the Chocolate Industry. About 4 to 6 thousand people attend this once a year event.

To Market…

The place was jammed packed!!!

My buddies Ralphie and Hugo’s presentation was a simple but tasty item!

The ICE BOX CAKE!!

This event was the 1st of many PR events that the Guys would be doing.

Longtime friend of the guys Eric Hubert from Jean George, NYC came to give a helping hand as well!

Food Network’s Keegan Gerhard hosted the demo and introduced Ralphie and Hugo!

He was a very nice person to meet! He said very nice things about BBD’s Concept and was very excited to come to the opening!

Ralphie’s niece helped out in the presentation:)

Ralphie and his niece did a great job….

…and the people watching were very delighted to have a bite of the ICE BOX CAKE

as well as taking home a custom recipe:)

After the demo was over we went to The Blue Ribbon in SoHo to eat.

If you’re ever in NYC check that place out during Late Night…. Off the Hook!!!

Anyway, thanks for stopping by.

Cheers from a Cold and Dry Las Vegas!
