Finally got a new camera…

I haven’t been shooting much lately due to my camera becoming quite unstable. It’s fine most of the time but when I go to recharge the batteries the camera won’t work even with freshly charged batteries. then miraculously a few hours later… it does. I can’t seem to find any rhyme or [...]

Tsunami Relief

I have been watching the footage and the devastation of the Earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck Sendai, Japan on March 11, 2011.  Thanks to so many people with cameras who are becoming citizen reporters for all the footage and news coming out of the area.
As many people know the tsunami didn’t just affect Japan, [...]

We’re all beautiful

Over the past few months I’ve started to feel that I’m not living up to my original mission with my photography.  The idea I’ve always believed was that we are all beautiful.  regardless of skin color, age, weight, height, body type…etc.  The beauty is found in who we are and not what we look like.

New Book Available!

Shooting this weekend!!

I’m in the process of scheduling a shoot this weekend with a model I’ve worked with only once before but have been trying to put together another shoot with for a long time.  For one reason or another everytime weve tried to shoot together, it’s fallen apart.  so I’m hoping that this weekend will be [...]
