Hey everyone, happy new year! 2009 was a very busy year for Sunfall Designs, so busy I wasn’t able to post a blog in a few months. I am planning on more consistent and relevant blog posts in the coming months, including some video and audio interviews, tutorials, tips and tricks, and Wordpress goodies! The website still has a lot of work ahead of it, but thanks to some great twitter feedback I was able to get it finished up rather quickly. Very soon I’ll have a more stylized comment look, but for now it works! Sunfall designs has also changed it’s name to Sunfall Studios.

Alright everyone, it’s about 2:30am and I’m about spent. I’ll have a fresh blog post ready in about a week, and a portfolio page to showcase a few of my many projects I finished last year!

Well, it’s been a while since my last post; Almost a full month! Being an in house designer / developer, side business owner, ghost hunter, and movie star (sarcasm) have kind of kept me busy lately.

The Movie

@deathtothemovies wrote and directed this satirical short for the 48 hour film festival in Riverside. I play the part of Herbert, a douche of a boyfriend and wanna be rock star. Enjoy Titus’s amazing film and my horrible acting

The Ghosts

Murrieta’s old Mill

Me, my Wife, and my Roomate were talking about Murrieta’s old mill Saturday night, and talked about the picture my roomate’s friend took of the supposed “little girl” the shows up in the top window. Well, we couldn’t find that picture anywhere; Not AIM, his computer, or the internet. So we decided, why not check it out tonight? Well, we did. We took several pictures of the top window, and only one picture came back with this eerie image.

The Whaley House

On Sunday my Wife came up with a great idea to check out the Whaley House in old town San Diego, to see if we could find any more ghosts. We walked inside, taking random pictures of the furniture and old portraits of the family who lived there, but came back with really no good images. I randomly decide I was going to take a picture of the outside of the house. This image came back. I think it pretty much explains itself.

Isolated the head and upped the contrast.

Old Meth Lab on Bundy Canyon

SunfallDesigns’ Abandonded Scott Road Meth Lab photoset

After our tour of old town San Diego, we stopped at this eerie location off of Scott Road. Apparently it used to be a meth lab that blew up and is now abandoned. There is a gate surrounding the property, but right as you drive up to it, you see there is a divide so you can easily walk in. Word of warning though, if you’re thinking of visiting this location there is a 5 story deep well that is hidden behind one of the houses, so watch your step. One of the houses is sinking in it’s own failing foundation, so I wouldn’t try going into that house. In any event, here are some cool pics of the location.

Collekt

The Collekt creative meet up is growing! Special guests Drifting Creatives stopped by and shared some pretty amazing stories of their adventures as traveling designers. I had a chance to meet up with a lot of great designers and developers talking about life, design, and sometimes faith. Over all it was a huge success, I have a feeling that the next meeting is going to continue to grow.
