Nick Abadilla Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome …

I'm Nick Abadilla, and I work as a professional photographer based in San Diego, California. Here's a quick snapshot (pun intended) of my life …

I've been happily married to my lovely wife Nance for over 18 years, and together we raise our beautiful and vibrant ten-year old daughter, Sophie who gives us reason to smile and laugh each day. We've traveled the world as a family, and are all the better for it. This year's destination – Anhui Province, China.

I started my business in 2002 following 20 intense but rewarding years in the graphic design industry. With corporate life behind me, I found myself doing a lot of really deep soul searching, ultimately realizing it was time to honor my long-time passion for photography. So with my wife's blessing, I wholeheartedly embraced it as a profession and haven't regretted it for a second. Working from a cozy 900 square foot artist studio in downtown San Diego's Little Italy section, I specialize in distinct wedding photojournalism, custom portraiture and assignment photography. My love for the craft will be evident once you step inside.

With this blog I give you a glimpse into my life behind the camera. I hope you find the posts interesting, entertaining, and maybe even inspiring from time to time. Your comments are most welcome and encouraged. And don't forget to check out my main site at abadillaphoto.com!

Kettner Nights Rumbling

Dang this rain. For me who rides just about daily, three consecutive days without rolling on the throttle is enough to get me a little fidgety. Riding is my therapy. A connection to my primal self, my daily feed of pure exhileration. Keying the ignition and sparking that rumbling thunder is enough to release any bad karma into the wind. Often in the grinding commuter traffic of Interstate 8, behind the helmet and sunglasses, I catch myself grinning ear to ear. If you ride, you totally get it.

For those of you who don’t, however, I’ll bet there’s a hidden Easy Rider inside you that’s dying to bust out …

This Friday is yet another Kettner Nights from 6-9pm, the recurring open house event in Little Italy where several artist studios, galleries, and creative retailers welcome the general public into their spaces. My studio will be open as well flowing with cheap wine and beer. And just for kicks, I decided to haul my bike up to the studio for FREE Biker Portraits! Nothing formal, just plain ‘ol cheezy fun. Dust off your leathers, don your I’m-just-too-cool shades and bring your bad-assness to my studio. Leave the knives and brass knuckles at home, though, because kids are always welcome.

As always, Kettner Nights is a great way to kick-off the weekend, catch up with friends, and peruse the works of several talented artists. I look forward to seeing you this Friday, even if you decide not to wear your chaps.
