Eduardo Carriazo at Archangel Gallery
An incredible sculpture by my friend, artist Eduardo Carriazo. From his showing currently at the Archangel Gallery in Palm Springs. One of his many pieces of his collection on display “Heresy and Inquisitions, what is true?”. Archangel Gallery has quickly become a must visit stop for the artwork and art events in Palm Springs. A wonderful space representing superb artists.
Mystery Military Jet
It came out of nowhere and did one more pass at high speed. I barely caught it with my camera. Leaving the Palm Springs Airport right after the T-28 flight demonstration yesterday. The Palm Springs Air Museum did not even know about the jet or it’s owner. It had been seen only once before after a previous event at the Air Museum. Do any of you know anything about it?
T-28 Leaving The Runway
Another look at the U.S. Navy T-28B leaving the runway for a flight demonstration. Yesterday at the Palm Springs Air Museum.
T-28
A U.S. Navy T-28B returning to the Palm Springs Air Museum after a flight demonstration yesterday. The T-28 saw service primarily as trainer starting in the 1950’s into the 1980’s. It is a very impressive aircraft to see, and hear, flying.
They Come From All Over To Travel Route 66
They come from all over to travel Route 66! We did yesterday, 409 miles and 14 hours round trip. This mural was on the side of a gas station in Needles, California. Great fun!

Heidi Cannon Loving Her Photos We Shot
Thanks Heidi Cannon Wbff Pro! I am so very happy you are loving the photos we did!
On This Day 1941, The Tuskegee Airmen…
It was on this day, March 19th in 1941 that the 99th Pursuit Squadron was activated at Chanute Field in Rantoul, Illinois. These enlisted men became the core of other “black” squadrons who went on to be known as the Tuskegee Airmen.
It was my honor to photograph members of the Tuskegee Airmen honored on Memorial Day 2012 at world famous Muscle Beach. From left to right… Levi Thornhill, Buford Johnson, Heather Clay, Brig. Gen. Roger W. Teague, Edward Tillman, and Ted Lumplin.

Ashley Is A Good Reason To Go To The Gym!
And your excuse for not going to the gym was? Ashley Owens Gulina is a good excuse to go to the gym! This time for me to shoot some photographs, maybe for others to work out extra long to just look at her!
Actually a photograph like this in the gym has a lot of parts. First of course there is Ashley. The woman is just beautiful! Next is my Makeup and Hair Stylist Natalie Lyle. Look at the wonderful work she did with Ashley! And Natalie is one hot beautiful woman herself. The gym owner thought I had brought two models not knowing Natalie was the MUA on the shoot. But as Natalie said yesterday “I love doing makeup!”.
Next a big Thanks to Joe Norton, the owner of Power Of Fitness in Palm Desert California. A big beautiful spacious gym with lots of new equipment and a great fun atmosphere. It is really a great gym to workout and just be there!
Then there is my assistant Clyde Sawyer who carries everything, moves the lights, works as my portable voice operated reflection blocker and generally makes it all work.
Ok so now go back to looking at Ashley and catch up with her at her gym up in Rancho Cucamonga or see who else might be showing up at Power of Fitness with me! Thanks!

F/A-18 Hornet Departing Palm Springs
This morning, a United States Navy F/A-18 Hornet departing the Palm Springs Airport. It almost left without me seeing it and I got my camera up just in time. I just did a little research and found that this plane is from the Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 101 (VMFAT-101), a United States Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet training squadron. The squadron is based at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California.

Bodybuilding Front & Back
Of all the photographs I shot for Bodybuilding.com which were used to create dozens of “wallpapers” this one has always been my favorite. Dexter Jackson on stage at the 2006 Arnold. Also a physique which to me is really “bodybuilding”.
Girls & Cars – Good & Bad
So many photographs of girls with cars out there. This is my idea of what that should look like. Rebekah Ryan posing like there is relevance of her being with that Ferrari and in that setting. Just a long time pet peeve for me, most girls with car photos look just like they are standing there next to a car with no point to it. Thanks!
