To stay busy in the grief of the loss of my son, I also joined several Grand Terrace boards and helped the sports organizations in many ways. It was soon after that I started taking pictures of my sons as well as their teammates and shared memories with the families. My son’s Francisco and Jonathan later went on to play football for Grand Terrace High School and I was able to photograph all their
games for five years. In 2015 I took my hobby of photography a little further and opened a Facebook and Instagram accounts where I was able to post many pictures for families to view in case they were not able to attend the games. In 2016, we joined the Snoop Youth Football League where my son Christian played for the Pomona Steelers for several years. The league allowed me to step on to the field and photograph all divisions. Pictures were shared on social media and I also printed mini posters of selected action shots for parents to purchase. This year I decided to do more with my hobby since people are always asking how they can buy my pictures. This will be the website in which anyone can view all pictures and purchase as many as they like. My precious son Anthony is my biggest inspiration and motivation to continue my love of photography. Sharing memories has put smiles on a lot of families as well as the players and I am glad that we will always have these pictures to look back to remember all the good times!
