And Still Running

I am guessing if they wanted to sell it there would be no shortage of buyers. Yesterday in Ontario California.

Giant Taco Alert

When it comes to big and delicious, these “Giant Tacos” at Crazy Coyote Tacos live up to their name and then some. This is three of these massive tacos loaded… it’s a lot of food. Hidden away in an easy-to-miss shack of a building at the end of the road by Morongo Outlet Mall, this spot has been serving outdoor drive -up food for 25 years. If you know, you know… and if you don’t, you need to find out. My Food Photography and more on my website at http://SecondFocus.com Thanks!

Burger Box

Proud to share the latest in my Fast Food photography series. Burger Box, established in 1954, is the oldest restaurant in the Coachella Valley. A true roadside gem with outdoor window service that even featured a gas station back in the day. Pictured here are their iconic double cheeseburgers, cheeseburgers with pastrami, and freshly made fries, all grilled to order and served in simple brown bags. The taste and aroma bring back the nostalgia of an era that’s fast disappearing. Sadly, this beloved spot will be closing its doors at the end of the month.

Test shot



When I was a kid, my eyes were opened to the naked women of Playboy. But then along came Penthouse! Decades later, ‘Centerfold’ has just been published about the world of Penthouse and its creator, Bob Guccione. Guccione was also a photographer, and with these early editions comes an original slide from his archives. This is a scan of the one I’ve acquired. Kodachrome, no name, just marked ‘Test shot.’ There are more in this limited collection from his archives, and I have three on the way that are very relevant to current affairs. They are also much more revealing. I’ll share them when they arrive. Until then you can see my own nude photoshoots on my website at http://SecondFocus.com Take a look! Thanks!

Vintage Risqué 150

From the moment the camera was invented, it didn’t take long for photographers to explore the sensual and intimate side of human expression. Man went looking for naked women.

While collections of vintage cars, airplanes, tourist destinations, and family moments abound, there’s another side of photography that’s rarely celebrated: risqué and erotic imagery. I started searching out collections and this is the first of 150 photographs of erotica I have found. My own videos from pornochic to food, on my website at https://www.secondfocus.com/video Take a look and Thanks!

Where Was I?



So I won’t tell you where I was last week. I will say I was there as credentialed media for ZUMA Press. ZUMA Press is the largest independent press agency in the world. My photographs from this event have been published, many front page, globally in print and online.

World Bread Day

Happy World Bread Day!

Today, we’re celebrating bread in all its forms, including the iconic Wonder Bread! First introduced in 1921, Wonder Bread was one of the first pre-sliced loaves. And who can forget the classic bologna sandwich on Wonder Bread that filled our lunch boxes as kids? 🥪🇺🇸 That soft, squishy white bread with a slice of bologna, American cheese and a dab of mayo or mustard—truly the all-American school lunch!

Arby’s Classic Roast Beef

Watch as six Arby’s Classic Roast Beef Sandwiches rotate on a platform, showcasing the simple yet iconic design of this sandwich. Founded in 1964 by brothers Forrest and Leroy Raffel, Arby’s name actually stands for ‘Raffel Brothers,’ not ‘roast beef’ as many believe. There are approximately 3,500 Arby’s fast food restaurants worldwide. My Food Photography and much more on my website at http://SecondFocus.com Thanks!
