Appeared in the New York Times Sunday Magazine last month. Part of an exclusive stock library we shot for Nemours Children’s Hospital in Delaware.

Photographed golf phenom Alexis Thompson for Golf Digest, July edition. She qualified for the U.S. Open when she was 12, she’s 15 now and will turn pro this month. What an amazing young woman…if only I could hit a golf ball that far! Shot her at the fishing pier at Deerfield Beach.

Thanks to Rob Haggart at aphotofolio.com for being the first in the industry to make our site ipad compatible. We used Rob’s company last year to re-brand our website and couldn’t be happier with the results. The site looks really cool on an ipad.

Stop motion photography short film I shot a couple of weeks ago at The Central Florida Fair…
enjoy!

Photographed Ernie Els and his family for Golf Digest last month. Their home in Jupiter is spectacular, but I concentrated on the love he has for his family. Dragged out the Fuji 680 film camera and shot some of my stash of Polaroid Type 55 on his portraits. He’s a class act, and the week this story came out he won Doral…I’m just saying….

As many of you know, I play guitar in a local band…we recorded an original last year for a fundraiser CD and I decided to shoot a music video with Gladys Justiniano (our singer).  This was shot with the Canon 5D MKll camera with a skeleton crew (a lot of the guys I work with all the time helping me out) over a period of one day.  Total cost:  $100 catering, $100 for pizza and wine at my place for the wrap party, $50 for a nice bottle of tequila for the owner of the studio.  It’s rare that we shoot something now that doesn’t contain some element of video or film.  Enjoy…

We just wrapped up a mammoth shoot for a children’s hospital in Delaware…over 100 talent, shooting in Florida and Delaware, 7 days, 25 crew, 10 locations, lots of beautiful kids!  I really enjoy this kind of work…we’ve produced about a dozen of these kinds of exclusive stock libraries for clients over the past few years.  I also shot video on most of the setups, using both the Canon 5D MKII and the Pansonic HVX-200 (see pic of the Canon video rig).  Having a great producer is critical to a shoot like this.

Had the opportunity to photograph Lorena Bobbitt (now Gallo) for Stern Magazine.  Pictured with her 4-year-old daughter.  It’s been 15 years since she got famous..

Photographed Ken Green for Golf Digest (published Oct./09 issue).  This wasn’t your typical Golf Digest assignment by far….read Dave Kindred’s story here

I photographed Ken back in the early 90’s for SI down in Miami, he was a kind of flamboyant guy back then wearing the green shoes and glove, pretty hard to miss.  This guy has an incredible story to tell because of everything he’s been through.  In a nutshell- he was in a horrible accident and lost his brother, girlfriend, faithful dog (the dog he pulled out of an alligator’s mouth a few years back), his home, all his possessions, his leg, and I would think his will to live.  I love assignments like this, it’s so raw and you never know what to expect when you go in.  It’s usually a bit of give and take with the subjects, but he opened right up and allowed for these photographs.  I really owe quite a bit to the people I photograph when you can come into someone’s life for a very short time, peel the onion back, and take a peek inside.  He’s going to attempt being the first player in PGA history to play competitive golf with a prosthesis.  Amazing man.
