Reflections

There are times that I shoot for the book or for clients or for friends. And then there are times that I just shoot for myself. It's been my history that I keep some images just for me. This might typically be one of those times. But for whatever reason I feel like posting them and sharing.

Some of the best images happen right under my own roof. Life. Love. Family. Thanks Lauren, my beautiful wife and partner.

Found Images

Do you know that feeling when you find a 20 in an ole pair of jeans? It's kind of wrinkled up and folded. Kind of soft. It's found money. In this case, that 20 is a few images from a family trip over a year ago. Lauren and I took Lucy, and a really cool rented motor home, to the mountains to a wedding party. What fun. Lucy was 1. Now Lucy is 2 and a half and is sitting in my office coloring and talking and talking and talking and talking. It's what a 2 and a half year old does. Got to love it...and I do. We're off to the park for the SUPER SLIDE. Not a bad way to end a Monday.

Getting the job done.

26 degrees. 40 feet above asphalt. Thank goodness no wind or rain. A great Art Director and Creative Director. There are times that it all just comes together.

The New Space.

This is just a quick view of the new space. It's working out so well. More soon.

It's been so long.

Where in the world have I been? This poor BLOG has been idle for a while. Let's see? I'm going to post a few shots from a couple of events. I took the CREW, my lovely wife and one of my daughters, Lucy to Mexico for a shoot. Lots of work and lots of fun. AND I moved my studio. After 14 years in the same huge space it was time. I've gone from 8000 square feet to 1800. Rough move. The move took about 3 weeks, a couple of yard sales, and a couple of dumpsters...and the patience of Lauren. OH YEH, and I tried to keep working the entire time. Thanks to all involved. Mis Amigos and my family and crew.

Benji Hughes Love Extreme

There are those jobs and shoots that really stand out and this is one of them. Benji, Jason Barkley, and I worked hard to get that perfect image. Just the one that says, "Benji". I think we did it and now it's out there circling the world. Benji, thanks for the opportunity. I enjoyed it. Hey, put me on the list next time you play.

6 Days in Mexico

There are times that this job really takes me to wonderful places.  I have the opportunity to see such incredible places and meet some of the most interesting people you can imagine.  Some trips even afford me the chance to hang out in these incredible places with my lovely wife Lauren.  One such trip in August took us WAY South to Tulum, Mexico.  I spent a little time working on an upcoming shoot and a lot of time exploring.  These are some of the people we met and some of the places we visited.  I can't wait to do a final edit and post a few more.  Enjoy.
