Finally I get to share some work where I had a great opportunity to give back to the educational community AND allowed me to create some great images for the portfolio. It’s always energizing to work with models and stylists for fashion pieces. And lifestyle work is enjoyable because it is LIFE, that is styled… When an advertising agency associate, Tim Hendrick, contacted me about shooting some lifestyle images for a new fashion company called Loyal Army, he had […]
For this shoot where the talented designers at Web Enertia came up with a fun and unique branding concept for Virtual Instruments. No, they don’t make race cars, or motorcycles, or anything close to that. But they do make instrumentation that will speed up your computer’s performance. Virtual was about to announce their IPO with great fanfare. But before that happened they wanted to get people excited about the new products and solutions. So I was contacted to help develop […]
There are exciting times in my career when I am given the incredible opportunity shoot exceptionally cool things. Like the first 3D printed car, the Blade. Zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds. That’s what they tell me. Sadly, they didn’t let me drive it. But I did get to shoot some amazing photo’s of it. Only 1400 pounds. Crazy light. Crazy fast. Crazy cool. It’s already been shown all over the world. But before they toured it to the awed […]
Working with kids is always fun and exciting. It requires that I put myself in a much different place than when working with adult models or shooting portraits of CEO’s. I need to get in touch with the child in myself. That’s ok with me. It helps me to feel alive and young again. Certainly, having an autistic son has given me insight into how differently each child’s mind works. So getting an instant read on the personality of each […]
One of the most enjoyable aspects being a commercial photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, is being given access to the inner sanctums of many of the most innovative companies in the world. Countless times throughout the years I have been brought in to photograph product prototypes months, even years, in advance of their release. In many cases the countless iterations are never viewed by the general public. So many of the coolest stages of development are only seen […]
http://youtu.be/E7Hpo7K4kEE Just one of the beautiful locations on the California coast that is a short day trip from where I live. Sure wish there was more time in each day, each week, each life, to do the things that we really enjoy doing. Like visiting beautiful spots such as this. http://youtu.be/E7Hpo7K4kEE

As of 07/24/2014, I am now an official beta tester for the new pro-version Lytro illum camera This is a totally cool camera that uses “Light Filed” technology to enable changes in focus AFTER the shot has been taken. It also has some other pretty special feature that I hope to show off over the next couple of weeks. Can’t wait to play with it and see what I can come up with.
When a friend asked me to give a talk at her book release, I was not quite sure what I could add. The deeply emotional and involving book is called “Finding Spiritual White Space”, and she wanted me to discuss how I use white space in my images. As I examined how I use white space in photography, I realized that this fit perfectly. I use white space to direct the viewers eye, to form the composition, […]
