It came down to the last draw based on the events of epic portion I am selling my camera.  I have been thinking of an upgrade for far too long and now believe in taking the steps to further my future passions and career.  So I am saying goodbye to my Canon Rebel and starting my epic jump to my Ultimate Goal of 2011 which is the Canon T3i.  I have thought of it quite hard and believe I might take it even further and go full on for the Canon 70D, no more kiddie games.

I have been a well skilled intermediate all-star for far too long and now taking control and making the epic investment being a Creative Professional in my photo and video equipment.  So as of today the goal is to shoot as much photo shoots or more with my Canon Rebel in July and create a creative photo challenge, and sell my camera or get rid of it in the beginning of August to scare myself into working super hard to replace in and purchase my new ultimate camera by September 2011.

I hope I am ready for this crazy monster challenge and move in my life to start to get moving.

Do you like photography?  Do you own a DLSR?  What brand of cameras do you like?

My Ultimate Goal of 2011: Canon T3i

Rik1 Comment

Self Portrait III

I have made it official.  My ultimate goal of 2011 is to purchase the Canon T3i.  Though it may be not as powerful or great as the Canon 7D or the infamous Canon 5D Mark II, I am determined to get this mid-level camera.  I am a uber-fan of Canon, though i been telling myself to go the Nikon way as most people first pick mostly is a Canon, but I am still thinking about it.  Since I am leaving the realm of just full on photography and taking my well architect skills to a new height with videos and becoming a force to me reckoned with in multimedia and technology for New York.  The world should praise me as I work my hardest to get this camera.

Though it’s only $899.99 say at B&H Photo and Video or at Adorama, you still got to count in taxes, lenses, insurance (can’t go no where without that big boy), I am still looking at $1300 of the back basic.  With that, that’s really all I need for the skills don’t come with the camera, you bring your talents and skills to the camera and the works you produce.

So i am already on board with my first MAC purchase in March 2011, and my Pro Tools purchase of September 2010, I am just taking it step by step to be if not the number 1 Creative (all around) Multimedia Professional in New York, but one of the greatest in the long run.

Canon T3i (with the pull out screen) lol I am so coming for you.  The Canon T2i is also awesome, but I need a major upgrade from my Canon Rebel and taking my business to YouTube, Vimeo, iTunes, your Local Film Festival right into your living room subscription service such as Netflix or Amazon.

Richardo is on his way…now it’s time to work his butt off and gain more clients, produce more high quality projects and network the HELL OUT of the world.

I have 3 great projects debuting this summer, including a debut hip-hop album, a poetry and art book, and a DJ groove 3 track music record, oh yea not to mention hopefully short-film series based on my YouTube weekly series “The Real Life with Richardo”

Do you have an ultimate goal of 2011?  is there any awesome gadget coming out this year you are looking forward to getting?

@RawMultimedia & Richardo’s – May, June, July and August 2011 – Production Releases

RikLeave a comment

As of late, I have been very busy with paper work and writing new projects.  I have had very little time to have fun as I wanted to, as I want to grow my brand and expand my video and music content to the world.  I also been trying to take on a highly challenging role of being a manager.  I have to admit as working as a manager is rewarding, it is also very difficult, well at least up to the standards I put myself up to.  I believe is greatest and doing things in a precise notion.  Either way, spring time is right around the corner, and as much as I have a million paper work, I am going to try to enjoy and go out more.  I have a constant growing following and new friendships, and as much as I have my steady friends I want to hang out and create memories with, I still have to hang out and do activities with new friends to build a bond and a great relationship with.  Boy oh boy is that going to be hard.  My time is scatter everywhere.

But without further ado, here is my planned line-up for the next 4 months before the Fall season comes around.

Not only am I playing sports and working out on the weekend mornings as I mentioned in my past post -> (SPRING TIME:::Tennis, Basketball and Soccer – [Get in Shape, Have Fun]), but I have couple projects I am running along side that. (one thing about me is, I always stay active, I can’t help it, if I don’t I will procrastinate and entirely shut down) I have great time management skills, either that or I just DON’T SLEEP, who knows…

– Each month I plan on shooting 4-6 Photoshoots
– Each month I shall be shooting 3-4 music videos
– The release of the new entertainment website for  my [Raw Multimedia] brand.  I shall be featuring quite a few shows, and an interview series, which should be powered by YouTube & Vimeo.

My project estimated release schedule for my production team & creative brand are:

May 30, 2011 – The Real Life w. Richardo [short film] – I am taking people into my world of how a day in the life of richardo goes.

May 30, 2011 – The Adventures of Auto Tune 2 by: Jixi Fox / Jixi B. [comedy music album] – The second installment of the TAOAT series.

June 30, 2011 – Jixi Fox Presents: Soulfully Jazzy Funk The Sampler Vol.1 – The first installment of a sample based music production pack for people to enjoy.

July 30, 2011 – The Burna Effect EP [Debut Hip Hop Music Album] – A hip-hop music album debut for the artist Jixi Fox.  An album based on how Jixi Fox became who he is.

August 30, 2011 – Mystic Mirrors [A Poetry & Art Book] –  The debut book on a list of many to be written by Jixi Fox, along side future collaborative projects.

(note* – I also have some secret projects, but I need to focus on completing the ones I have listed first)

Kennie Dubb’s – Dre Beatz and An Ipad Mixtape Vol 1. & Audio Oasis Vol. 1 & Visual Oasis Vol. 1

My Major Collaboration Music Project (FALL 2011) – shhhhh it’s a secret

So as of now, that’s pretty much the line up for my releases, in which is in development and production mode now.  I am always looking for people to work with especially talented people in New York City who don’t mind making guest appearances, cameos, and being featured in a skit or so.  With all that said, I shall be quite busy and very active.  Of course I am still going to be dropping my weekly vlog show “The Real Life with Richardo“ each and every week, so SUBSCRIBE now on YouTube to be informed in case anything changes.  I have my “Minisodes“ also, shorter than an episode but good all the same.
