"You never lived until you have almost died, those who fight for, die for it, bleed for it and kill for it life has a flavor, the protected will never know" - Ruiz / 3rd

My Name is Shane Ruiz, local of San Clemente and traveler of many other places around the world. I shoot all types of photography from sports to still. Please visit Shane Ruiz Imagery for updates and other photos that are not on this page or MYSPACE . I rock a Mark II 1D with all the nice ass glass that made my ass poor to support my addiction of photography. Iv shoot just about everything from lame to crazy, sports to still. A special thank you to all that have helped me get this far and have helped implement an artistic value and development and always had been there for me in every situation.

Shout out to Jeremy Greene who died the 28th of April 2007 fighting the war with my in Afghanistan. To all who shed blood, sweat, and tears both deployments and to all of those who got sent home wounded (Lease, Bickford, Marley, Gomez, Coco.... it goes on) To every other soldier fighting the war still Thank you and you will always have my upright most respect.
Accomplishments: Made it alive out of two wars with a Purple Heart, Climbed MT. SAN JACINTO IN ONE DAY, MT. BIG SLIDE ANIRODACK MOUNTAIN RANGE NEW YORK, AND BIG UGLY.

I HAVE BEEN THERE DONE THAT, TRAVELED THE WORLD AND HAVE SEEN THE WORST THAT MAN KIND CAN SEE FROM LIVING IN BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS UNDER CONSTANT FIRE AND ACTION. WAR ISN'T A BLESSING BUT MAKE IT A BLESSING THAT MEN ARE FIGHTING IT EVERYDAY GIVING THEIR LIVES TO PROTECT YOURS.
LEASE, MOSS, BICKFORD, GREENE, WYNN, COCO & GOMEZ YOU FOUGHT ONE HELL OF A FIGHT GOD BLESS YOU. FOR EVERYONE ELSE THAT SAT AND FOUGHT ON MY SIDE YOU HAVE MY MOST AND UPRIGHT RESPECT AND I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO HELP YOU. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT AND GOD BLESS YOU. AS OF NOW I TRY TO DO SOME TRAVELING OF THE WORLD FROM TIME TO TIME AND HANGING OUT WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. MY ADVICE IS THAT IF YOU HAVENT DONE IT DO IT AND DONT LET ANYONE HOLD YOU BACK TO SECOND GUESS YOURSELF; TIME IS ESSANCE AND IT RUNS OUT QUICK SO DONT WAIT DO IT.
