An Iron Man Magazine Rising Star

An Iron Man Magazine Rising Star

Outstanding! I put this guy in front of my camera because I was sure he would be going places in our world of bodybuilding and fitness. Lonnie Teper in his current “Rising Stars” column of IRON MAN MAGAZINE was sure of it too. And if Lonnie says he is a “Rising Star” that makes it for real! Congratulations to Travis Ely!

The Pirelli Calendar by Herb Ritts

I have always been a huge admirer of the iconic Pirelli Calendar. And as well I hold in great admiration the work of photographer Herb Ritts. So I am greatly excited to come into possession of an original 1994 Pirelli Calendar photographed by Herb Ritts courtesy of the Herb Ritts Foundation.

A superb 18″x24″ display of photographs of super models Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen, Kate Moss and Karen Alexander; “In Praise Of Women”.

Not familiar with the Pirelli Calendar, where have you been! Learn more here…

She Started An Earthquake In Her Photo Shoot!

The wonderful and popular Raechelle Chase from New Zealand in front of my cameras in Palm Springs. We had to put this iconic woman in an iconic setting! IFBB Figure Professional, writer, gym owner, trainer, entrepreneur, and Mom, Raechelle is one very special woman. Tough too, in our photo shoot she was buffeted by gale force winds and an earthquake. A lifetime memorable photo shoot was had by all!

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

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

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.
