I never knew what I was getting into when i decide to pursue my dream. The sacrifices I would have to make or the time i would lose with loved ones and family…but this is what i do. Im happy and blessed to be able to say I wake up and do exactly what i dreamed about doing…CREATING ART. From pictures to motion pictures…this is what my mind is comfortable rendering/editing 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. For that I am thankful. Thank you everyone who believes in me….i will try that much harder just so we can do it together via ( Mike Ho) Mentor of my workTumblr (3.0; @pointexposure)http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/<p><div class="title"><em>Dear Heavenly Father,</em> <em>Thank you, Lord for being so loving and kind to us. You are full of mercy and want so much to bless each of us who are called by Your name. Forgive us for the times we have failed to be the “Good Samaritan.” We know that we have walked on the other side of the road, as we were selfish and simply did not want to get involved in helping others. Help me to use whatever talents and abilities that I have to be a good and faithful servant in my job, at home and whatever situation I may find myself in. Help me to treat others as I would want to be treated. Lord, give my physical body the energy and strength for the daily tasks before me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.</em></div></p>http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/post/19152476381http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/post/19152476381Sun, 11 Mar 2012 20:38:43 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0fu8fBy7n1qbvod5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">Booking the right wedding photographer.</span></span></p> <p><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span">I offer every one of my couples an engagement shoot for free. And I don’t do it just to give away a freebie, or to entice them to close the deal. I do it because it’s the best chance I have to get to really know the couple before the wedding. I always start with getting together with them for coffee or a drink, then we go shoot for a couple of hours and if time permits, we get a quick bite afterwards. It’s amazing what that 3-4 hours does for my relationship with the bride & groom. When I show up on the wedding day, it’s like, “Hey, John. How have you been? It’s so good to see you again!” Rather than an under-the-breathe whispher, “Oh no, the wedding photographer is here. I’ve been dreading taking these pictures all week.</span></p>http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/post/18819306899http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/post/18819306899Mon, 05 Mar 2012 19:48:15 -0500<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/37133165?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="400" height="224" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><span><strong><span><span> <div class="uiAttachmentTitle"><strong><a href="http://vimeo.com/37133165" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Esto es Insolito | Monica Barco // Directed by John Castillo</a></strong></div> </span><br/></span></strong></span></p>http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/post/17988997008http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/post/17988997008Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:02:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz2zsewl4P1qbvod5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Follow me on instagram @POINTEXPOSURENY</p>http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/post/17266033975http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/post/17266033975Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:45:50 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyhdq6Xn6R1qbvod5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Great time at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/cieloclub">Cielo</a> yesterday night, </span><span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/catalinacv">Catalina Contrerasny</a> photo by: John Castillo</span></p>http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/post/16602718326http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/post/16602718326Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:39:42 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyhddmxIiy1qbvod5o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><span><a class=" twitter-atreply pretty-link" href="https://twitter.com/#!/MissJenniferNYC" rel="nofollow"><strong>MissJenniferNYC</strong></a> </span><span>La Musica remix by Boris OUT JAN 31!

At the age of 18, i left prints on the entertainment world with signature prints that actually with time help me out to meet a lot of people in the industry, I’ve had the privilege to witness things that opened my eyes, educated me, inspired me, changed me, and molded me., from dj&#8217;s to artists. I was exposed to the entertainment world at an early age making me go for what i love doing creating art, From pictures to motion pictures. As time went along i start it re-creating short films at ART &amp; DESIGN institute, making me think about pursue my dream.</p> <p>Recently I made a decision that I never thought was possible, I quit everything to pursue my dream including people &#8220;who affect it my life in amazing way, giving with experience&#8221; Everybody has dreams and most people have goals. If you want your goals and dreams to become reality, you must move toward them consistently and purposefully. By nature, we always begin with distance between where we are and where we want to be. Our job is to narrow that distance until it no longer exists. To accomplish that, we need to draw our goals and dreams closer to us, while simultaneously moving toward them -John Castillo.</p> </span></p>http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/post/16124664822http://pointexposure.tumblr.com/post/16124664822Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:02:22 -0500<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/34666308" width="400" height="224" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><span>The NIKON D4 is here.
