I am Angel Armenta. Most of you know I am a photographer. I started off doing underwater videos while I surfed, then shooting photos with old school cameras then got into graphic design. Made a name for myself in that scene. Then started an internship at GOYK Photo for a year. Later I made my own team called "R!OT". I started doing nightclub photography to get the name out. Now I'm one of the leading, most sought after club photographer in the Chicago Club Scene (Check out http://www.RIOTbyAngel.com). Aside from being a professional photographer. I am also a graphic designer and web site designer. I been printed in magazines for photography and graphic design.
I'm shy but I have a very ostentatious way of showing it. I love to stay active mostly swim, rock climb, and surf. I am a UBER nerd, was once a professional gamer. So I use to get paid to play video games (Thanks Steel Battalion and Halo!) I can basically spend all day running around and acting like I'm ten but no one catches on cause I look ten. But it keeps me fit. I'm a loner, so the quote the yanks use "Go with the flow" plays a very big part in my daily life. I joke around about everything cause life is a ride. It's all about resilience. Resilience is the ability to readily recover after disappointment or loss. Capacity to spring back.
