dane

Dane. I found him enjoying a nice spring morning. I'm from Southern Cal, so when it starts warming up I find myself thinking about the beach.

I had a Nash skateboard when I was a kid. It was basically a longboard. Once I went camping with my family. We car camped. There was a big hill leading into our area. It was steep and long. I walked to the top and started my decent. About halfway down I hit a rock, I flew about 40 feet through the air. I picked pebbles out of my hands and knees for a few weeks.

steak

Martin for Men's Fitness Magazine. He was cool, a bit self conscious but had a story to tell. Said he was going out for a steak dinner after the shoot. I used to wait tables at a steakhouse in Alaska. It was fun. The Steak was good. I liked the porterhouse, medium rare. The service was fantastic, as long as I waited on you.

rig

We were headed back from a shoot in Southern Utah last week. I spotted this guy and his rigged setup. My assistant grabbed the camera and I pulled up along side. He loved the attention, sporting us the hang loose sign.

spring and cold

It's supposed to be spring here. It's not. It's cold. There's snow. Savannah enjoyed the first five minutes of the shoot, then decided she was done.

family

Family, San Antonio-

hallandale beach

Found this scene in Hallandale Beach, Florida. I felt like I was on a deserted movie set. After a few minutes of shooting, the owner came out to make sure I wasn't "messing with his ride." I asked to take a portrait of him on his sweet ride, he went back inside.

windy

Shooting for Smart Money Magazine. Yep, the wind wreaked havoc!

50 ft up

Shooting 50 ft up on a 3 ft wide catwalk with no rails. I'm afraid of heights- I often have falling dreams, not sure what that means though.

big walls

Big walls everywhere. Yes, that's me working hard-

train

Heading down to Arches NP and Moab this week to shoot a project. Should be sweet! Last time I went I found this train. I hit the breaks, made a u-turn and shot it.

buick '73

I was doing some more location scouting and then out of nowhere I found this!

The last season of racing for this track was the summer of '99.
I found old schedules scattered everywhere-

Location scouting for an upcoming production.
I love how vast and open this place is-

I trespassed to get this shot. It was only for a few minutes; there were no dogs or fences.

If you know who is responsible for painting this wall, please let me know.

I love walls, they inspire me for some reason. Shot in Dania Beach, FL.

I was a boy scout growing up. It literally saved my life.

So, I love my holga. Taken in Miami. The guy was European, (French I believe ?!?) I asked him about the U.S. flag trunks----- but he didn't understand what I was asking.

Found in Miami Beach. It was for sale- I almost bought it.
