My FIRST Editorial Cover!

Ya, that's right. The cover! Getting the call to shoot the cover of Arroyo Monthly was pretty awesome but actually seeing it in print is even better! There is just something about holding the magazine with your picture on it that really makes it that much more awesome!

Take a look!







It feels pretty awesome to have gotten the call for the shoot and I definitely look foward to many more cover shoots and all that's in between!

Cover of Arroyo Monthly..sneak preview

What a great way to start the new year, shooting a cover of a magazine!

I got called from Arroyo Monthly to photograph Leslie Uggams for their February issue. Leslie is a Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress/singer and started her lengthly career at the age of six! She opened for huge legends such as Louise Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dinah Washington. Among all of her talents, she is portraying Lena Horne in the play "Stormy Weather" at the Pasadena Playhouse January 21 – March 1, 2009. I sat in on one of the rehearsals and it sounds like an amazing play. I've got my tickets and hope that you get yours too. Leslie Uggams has an amazing voice and should be heard in person live on stage!

Here is my favorite shot!



More pictures to come once it comes out!

Vintage Las Vegas Neon Signs

Making use of my time back home for the holiday's I snuck off to photograph old Las Vegas hotel signs, some that don't even exist anymore! I've been itching to go to this "graveyard" and finally got up close to these huge signs and snapped away. Here are just a few of my shots...

Happy New Year!

HellOoO 2009!


Rang in 2009 in my hometown Las Vegas....and who better to ring it in than with my sidekick Adriane!

Pasadena Weekly - Keanu Reeves

Pasadena Weekly called again and sent me off to photograph Keanu Reeves, Director Scott Derrickson, and two Caltech professors Sean Carroll and Joel Burdick. Off promoting his new movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still", Keanu and Scott stopped by Caltech for a pannel discussion about the movie and science. It got the cover story so make sure you pick one up!





Here are other shots I liked:

Old Warehouse Shoot

A good friend of mine asked me to come by her old ice manufacturing warehouse in downtown LA to capture the space before its torn down. The building was built back in the early 1900's and boy did it show! With the old building scent in the air, dust everywhere, and paint chipping off I could almost consider it a playground for me!

These are just a few of the pictures I took...

Garry Marshall: Verdugo Magazine

A few weeks ago Verdugo Magazine hit me up to photograph Garry Marshall on the set of his new play, Happy Days. He wrote "Happy Days" and "Laverne & Shirley", produced a whole bunch of hit movies, and acted in many many more. It was great to meet him and snap a few pictures! In the photo with him is Matt Walker. They are working together on the play Happy Days and to get them in the same room is almost impossible.
