I was going through some old hard-drive and came accross this shot. I was at LL BEan in Maine… I want to say Freeport? It was a cool trip but I got stepped on by this enormous boot, you should have seen the people looking at me as they walked in… I got a kick out of it… PEACE

Most of you that read my blog probably will never have to deal with this…
take the preparedness quiz But hey in my opinion I would much rather have an earthquake then go through a tornado or hurricane. I think not knowing the quake is coming makes it a lot easier to deal with. I always see people boarding up there homes and going to cellers for these other events. Nope not for me… I don’t want to know when i am dying. All the quakes I have been through even the major ones, by the time you realize it’s “THE BIG ONE” it is usually done. What is your opinion… Earthquake, tornado or hurricane. I pick Earthquake

Well after being asked all the time if I only shoot wedding? I always have to explain, well thats where the money is and if you can shoot a wedding I think you can just about shoot anything. Well since family are created at the wedding i finally decided to dedicate a side of my website just to families…. Click here to check it out

Well this is one of my most favorite places on earth… Big Sur, where the redwoods meet the Pacific… I have been going to Big Sur for about 12 years now. These shots were from my old Hassey and a couple on my Sinar… I just came across this CD that I had scanned these transperencies on to when i worked at the lab… I hope you all enjoy. Have a happy Valentines Day!!!

Big Sur California

If you live in Southern Orange County this will be interesting to you… I found this clip on the Sano Surfing club website… Another toll road that help ruin our southern California beaches… For what to save some inlanders time o get to the beach… Any ways I hope everyone enjoys this little video… WHat people dont understand is how it will end up taking a good portion of our state park. Theres alot more to it… but i dont have the time and I dont feel like getting angry on this blog…

I got this one in one of those redneck emails… Thought it was pretty funny… Any ways here you go…

I got an awesome new program. I just never liked the way CS would render the contact sheets i like to provide, not to mention the amount of time it took to create the dang things. Well here is your solution… ImageBuddy it makes the contact sheets in no time… $19.00 for a single license, Any ways just thought I would put it out there incase any one is having the same problem i do… PEACE

BTW… this is a MAC thing… sorry PCLOVERS

I shot these engagements this weekend. We had a post card perfect weekend here in Southern Cal… It was like 70 at the beach… Any ways Aaron and Tiffany are also photographers, Tiffany’s family owns a photography company here in San Clemente as well. I was honored when they asked if I would shoot there wedding, especially since it is in santa Barbara… Any ways hope everyone is doing OK. PEACE

Friday afternoon Chef Jeff came by the studio and we laid out his second book. I think this one rocked… We had better images to work with, Just funner shots of food. The color and evrything looks great in this one., Let me know what you think… PEACE

I have been working with a good friend of mine on getting his food service out there. I just got done designing his first book. We are going to do a series of Asuka Books. This is his concept of Gourmet dinning in your own home. He will actually fully prepare a gourmet meal and all you have to do is set your oven at 400 and away you go… Check out his website
