Blog Talk Radio!

This is so very fun! Tomorrow Thursday September 28th at 11am PST. It is recorded live so I guess I better be on my best behavior! Actually I was on her show about a month ago on a panel discussion with other photographers. It became a huge hit!

I remember saying on that show that I was excited to be headed to the Reno Air Races. I am now back from that ten day adventure in Reno so I know we can talk about that too. Tune in here at Blog Talk Radio! Thanks!

Sherri did ask for some of my favorite photos. This one from shooting on set with the amazing Rita Moreno!

Palm Springs To Chino Via SNJ

After ten days at the Reno Championship Air Races, I had flown back in the Palm Springs Air Museum P-51 Mustang “Bunny” with pilot Tom Nightingale. Then we flew in his North American SNJ trainer from Palm Springs to Chino where my car was parked in his hangar. Then a drive home for me back to Palm Springs. What great fun!

10 Days At The Reno Air Races

Flew back Monday in the Palm Springs Air Museum P-51 Mustang “Bunny” from the National Championship Air Races 2017 in Reno.

Four Days In The Gym With Ava

One of my favorite photo shoots ever. Spending four days in a gym and evenings poolside photographing Ava Cowan. The best!

There is an actual purpose for all of those mirrors in the gym. Just like IFBB Figure Pro Ava is doing here. Watch your form, the movement of the muscles as you do your lifts. It will get you in touch with actually what is happening and also keep you doing things right.

Ava was here at Palm Springs Fitness Center week doing a photo shoot for a workout magazine series. One of the most respected and admired women in the fitness business. Thanks Ava Cowan!

Fitness Journey Transformation

I photographed and wrote a monthly feature for Bobdyuilding.com in Iron Man Magazine about some wonderful people on their fitness journey. It went on for three years and this story with Juliet Banks was the last. But way up there as one of the most wonderful! Photographed at my favorite gym, Palm Springs Fitness Center. Thanks!

Juliet_Banks-Before_After

Juliet Banks spent her time devoted to helping others with very special needs. And indeed her own family had very special needs as well. It took a toll on her own health and well being. But there came a time when she realized that she would not be able to help anyone if she didn’t do something about helping herself.

Juliet never wanted to share her story, too ashamed about where she had been. But her involvement in the fitness world brought her to being selected for a feature as the BodySpace Physique Of The Month.
