Winter Vacation at the Ranch

Going home for Christmas is always fun epically when you got chickens, goats, and horses to play with! I got to pay around on my parent’s 32 acre ranch in Santa Margarita, CA during my winter “vacation”. The weather was surprisingly warm for this time of year which made my trip home even more enjoyable. You can see for 50 miles in all directions from our deck! It was beautiful!

Learn to be your own website creator and administrator, it will pay off in the long run.

It dawned on me a while back that my website will be published on the World Wide Web, most likely, for the rest of my life. Just think about that for a second. Never in the history of human civilization has there ever been access to this type of personal information about individuals that will span their entire lifetime. Since I have a good 60 or so years left in my life I decided to take on the challenge of learning how to create and manage my own website. Over the past few months I have been slowly tackling through Macromedia Flash 8 with great success. Check out my intro to my website that I created in about 2hrs time. There is a ton of information on the web about creating flash websites using Flash8. I estimated I have saved myself around $3000 bucks managing my own website.

I plan to add many more extras but for now it will do.

Fashion Makeover Interview

Hey everyone!

Check out the behind the scenes footage of the interview with my friends Erin and Brian about their first ever upcoming fashion makeover photo shoot for their engagement photos.

This is a new option/concept I am adding to my wedding photography packages. Any couple who chooses the total fashion makeover will get to be treated like a super model for a day while modeling for their own fashion photos! They will have their own hairstylist and makeup artist at the photo shoot to make sure they look incredible in ever shot.

The fashion photos will then be printed and displayed at their reception all the while the video of their interview and fashion photo shoot is played on an LCD monitor.

My fashion engagements sessions are up and coming! Stay tuned in for more of the interview and actual fashion makeover photo shoot with Erin and Brian.

Knapps Castle

Just got done editing some photos of a shoot I did up at Knapps Castle in Santa Barbara. The shoot was for my friend Dilini's music album. She is an extremely talented singer! We had a blast traveling around down to three different spots.

Lobster Hunting in Santa Barbara

Had a great time this weekend lobster hunting with my good friend Ben. Last week Ben kayaked for 10 hours along side Ned Denison as he swam 26 miles across the Santa Barbara channel. Catching lobster with a net requires bait & patience. We used cat food to lure in the shy creatures. Didn't catch a lobster but did manage to catch a crab. I brought along my trusty Casio Exilim EX-Z600 point and shoot camera. I put the camera in a ziploc bag and prayed I didn't drop it. As we headed back to shore I notice the water glowing with light as I paddled the kayak. We were caught in a red tide. Super cool! You could cup your had with water and see hundreds of shooting stars zip all over the place. It was an awesome night out on the ocean.

Santa Barbara Hiking

There is nothing like waking up and going for an early morning hike in Santa Barbara! Here I am again playing around with my new fisheye lens at the top of inspiration point. I love this place!

Malibu Fashion!

Malibu was AMAZING today! My good friend Naomi let me use her Malibu cliff house for my fashion shoot with model Rob Radwill. I busted out my new fish eye to take my own portrait. Another model was scheduled to attend the shoot however she canceled on me this morning...I guess that's how this business goes.

beach fashion!

Yet another fanstic photo shoot on the beach!! Sondra and Spencer were my models. Both are friends of mine and just so happen to be a couple. They are one good lookin couple! I even got Sondra behind the camera to take a picture of me in action...
