You Will Find Me At Muscle Beach!

It is that time when you find me at Muscle Beach/Venice for the big Memorial Day Bodybuilding and Fitness Show. I will be headed out there tomorrow Sunday for photo shoots and photographing at the show and all around on Monday.

Here is one of my photos from in the pit during a show with Andy Haman wowing the girls on the boardwalk. It has not changed at Muscle Beach almost forever. It is the place “Where Muscles Were Born” and only gotten better and more fun! And I will tell you a secret… tomorrow the United States Air Force will be rolling in to set up a real F-16 Jet Fighter to show off right there at the show on Monday! How cool is that!

Sending Some Love To Sasha!

Sending some LOVE to my good buddy Sasha Brown who is doing the IFBB Pro Figure Qualifier for the Olympia this weekend in Culver City California.

I Love Selfies! And Her Success At Playboy And Guitar World!

I Love Selfies! And Her Success At Playboy And Guitar World!

I Love Selfies! And when Kathy Pack sent me so many I was hard pressed to pick just one! They are all fun! I am especially proud to know Kathy, I did her first professional photo shoot a few years ago. She told me about her hopes and aspirations about competing in a world of modeling that had been in the back of her mind for years. And you know what… those hopes and aspirations have all been coming true!

Those first photographs we shot got her featured in Guitar World Magazine. And she ended up winning as the 2013 Guitar World Buyers Guide Model. If you follow Guitar World you know that is really cool. She has gone on to be featured at events and projects at the Playboy Mansion, hosted events for the Oscars and now traveling around the country for photo shoots and video projects for Playboy, Guitar World and many more.

Success that started with the discipline from being a two time state champion gymnast and continuing to stay in shape with core fitness and her own pole fitness workouts. So I am very ecstatic to know Kathy and her success puts a huge smile on my face! As she says “Always believe in yourself and your dreams and your goals”.

I invite you to send me your selfies and I will show you off here on my Blog, on my Facebook pages, and across my other Social Media. Girls and guys, whatever you want to send. In the gym, showing off the hard work you have put in, at the pool, just having fun. Anything a little too edgy for Facebook will go on my Blog and I will safely share it here. You don’t have to have ever done a photo shoot with me or even met me in person. It will also be a great way for me to see you and talk about photo shoots. Let’s do this, it’s all fun!

You must send me the selfie to my e-mail at SecondFocus@mac.com or across Facebook Messenger. I will say that I might have to pick and choose to make it manageable and hold some or change when I decide to post them for one reason or another. Thanks!

Sexy And Creative From 1985 With Rachel McLish.

So very sexy and creative and attention grabbing. A health club television commercial from 1985 featuring Rachel McLish, the very first Ms. Olympia. I really do not think ads for gyms and supplement companies really measure up today.

However this is one national magazine ad that I think is great. I photographed this for Bodybuidling.com.

My New Shelter Watch Dog

My New Shelter Watch Dog

Got this guy at the shelter on Friday. They said he would make a great watch dog. But he doesn’t seem to bark at all. Also not interesting in playing ball. Oh well, we will see how he does at puppy class.

Actually a small part of a mural in Twentynine Palms photographed on a day long photo excursion. “This trompe l’oeil mural tells a story about an artist who fell asleep while painting a mural. Manifested from the artist dreaming about Cattle Days in Hidden Valley, a rodeo bull named Valentine is metamorphosed into reality next to the scaffolding. Named for the white heart shape on his head, Valentine also bears the McHaney gang brand, as if he traveled out of the historical scene in the mural. Waiting for the artist to awake, along with a patient vulture, Valentine will soon have his day.” “Valentine’s Day” by John Pugh.

From Where We Were To Around The World!

I can’t resist posting this from the back of my camera from my photo shoot yesterday with Sasha Brown. Sasha just was having so much fun, she had to get it out on her social networking right from the car by using her cellphone. When I think about it, it is so very cool. From where we were to around the world. Wow!
