Hello, My name is Hector and I am a noob when it comes to photography. I picked up my first camera in June of 2008, started getting into using off camera lighting in November of 2008 and it has been an amazing learning experience! I love photography and plan to pursue this as far as I can take it. I hope to meet a lot of new people and friends through this new adventure I have started!

I have partnered up with Steven AKA SMGallery and we have started Moore & Cruz Photography.

Moore & Cruz Photography is the combined talents of Hector "BigBoyDrums" Cruz and Stephen "SMGallery" Moore. Two young creative self-taught photographers on the verge of coming up. They met awhile ago after discovering and following each others work on Flickr. They struck a bond with each other after meeting up to go shooting together one Southern California night. After much thought and consideration they decided that together they could combine their creative talents and emerge as a new photography team based in The OC. Which brings us to the present.

Two young photographers that always strive to create compelling still-images that will tell you a story. They are compelled to replicate the artistic visions in their minds. They see the rythyms of life and tune into each and every station of life.

"Hector (and now the 2SiiCK team), are blowing all boundaries away, in the world of lighting. Don't believe me? Then what are you doing reading this? Go look at their photostream!

I was one of Hector's first contacts, when he came on Flickr, and MAN, has this guy blasted out of the gate or what!?

I ALWAYS enjoy Hectors view on the world, and his interpretation of that view, in art form. If I could afford a ticket to his place of business/home, I'd be on the next plane to shake his hand (until his arm fell off)!

Of course, I'd want to stay for a long time to soak up the knowledge, this fella has turned into an awesome tool.

Keep up the fantastic eye-pleasure, my Flickr friend...
-Gil"

"In the short period of time that I have gotten to know Hector, he has proven himself to be a great guy and good friend. Always helpful and consistently inspiring. His photographic work is amazing and his technical expertise is astonishing. His ability to see light and mold it the way he wants it is truly a sight to behold. I have learned a lot just looking at his pictures but feel privileged that I have been able to personally watch him work and even help out here and there on shoots. He is an awesome photographer and a good friend. Keep it up brotha!!"

"You've only to look at the early stuff in Hectors' stream to see how far this guy has come with his photography. I've never met Hector but I hope to in the future, as I imagine his passion for learning, obvious natural talent and "eye" might rub off on me! ;~)

If you are reading this then that means you are probably hesitating adding him to your list of contacts. Stop it. Add him to your flickr experience. He's the puppies nuts, as we say here in England."
