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!

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!

Her Dark Warrior, an alter ego which is really her true tenacity and focus and oh so very sexy. Stacey Naito from our photo shoot. Only better when you see this photograph, by clicking on it, full screen on my Website.

Check Out That Bicep!

Check Out That Bicep!

When I look at this photograph I shot of Cortney CortCity Solomon the first thing I see is that big happy smile and those eyes, and then I have to smile. Then I check out the ink up and down her back, and it makes me kind of laugh, it is so fun! But then my eyes swing to the right and… Check Out That Bicep! Working out hard in the gym and having fun!

A big Thank You to Natalie Lyle for another day of great Makeup and Hair Styling. And a big Thank You to the Power Of Fitness gym in Palm Desert. You can work it out there for sure!

Raechelle In The Gym

Raechelle In The Gym

Earlier in the week I showed you one of our desert wind farm photographs of Raechelle Chase from New Zealand. We also shot in the gym. But I would rather look at Raechelle Chase than the gym so here is one photograph from our shoot that I like a lot. Thanks!

Action! Ok Not That Much…

Action! Ok Not That Much...

An action shot behind the scenes! Ok not that much action right there anyway. Our photo shoot with Cortney CortCity Solomon actually was more fun than I can tell you. Also on hand we had Natalie Lyle doing the Makeup and Hair Styling and my assistant Clyde Sawyer. A great gym to shoot in and actually workout too, Power Of Fitness in Palm Desert CA. More photos to come very shortly but you can see one here on my Blog and you really want to! https://secondfocus.wordpress.com/2014/04/15/live-the-life-you-have/

Want to be in my photo shoots or talk about shooting your advertising or magazine work. Send me a note here to my e-mail to SecondFocus@mac.com. Let’s talk about it! Thanks!

My Favorite Body Part To Look At…

My Favorite Body Part To Look At...

I Love Selfies! And I love great bodies and if you were to ask the Makeup Artists I have worked with what my favorite body part is… they would tell you FACES! And Tani Correia is just all of it! She has been published in fitness magazines, competes in Bikini in the WBFF, been featured on FTNS Fitness Radio, and is a contributed to LiveFitter.com. When Tani sent me this selfie I know it was the one I wanted to share. But go visit her Facebook page and uhhhh, check out the rest of her! You will be happy you did! And we will be seeing about her being in front of my cameras soon!

I invite you to send me your selfies and I will show you off here on my Blog and on my Facebook pages. 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 on Facebook. 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 on 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!
