Video Again

I started up the video component of my work again. I had let it lapse for some time. On July 10th I renewed it and have been uploading my first explorations in video. Mostly somewhat behind the scenes of my photoshoots. Handheld cameras, short video clips, somewhat explicit. I think today looking back, they are great fun. And I guess my viewers do too. Not bad for just 7 days. On my website, click the menu bars at the top and click video. Thanks! http://SecondFocus.com

National Hot Dog Day!

🌭 National Hot Dog Day is here! 🌭
Hot dogs have come a long way since they were first sold in 1870 at Coney Island. Now, they’re a summer and baseball staple, with 150 million hot dogs eaten every July 4th!
Check out my photo of the original Mustard Dog and Kraut Dog from Wienerschnitzel. Back in the late 1960s, they were just 18 and 21 cents each!

Fast Food Sexy

Back in 2012, Carl’s Jr. was using their sexy ad campaigns. They did make me a Carl’s fan! This one is with Kate Upton. I think I need to shoot some of my own and add them to the video section of my website at SecondFocus.com to go along with my fast food photographs. What do you think?

Kajira On My Website

One of my all time favorite photoshoots. Kajira is what is described of the famous photographer Helmut Newton genre’ of “PornoChic”. I have devoted a gallery of 100 of her fashion Turban photographs on my website. And ten video clips behind the scenes. These are my early attempts at video, only 20 seconds each. I think they are great fun. At http://SecondFocus.com Thanks!

National French Fry Day!

It’s National French Fry Day! Originally on July 13th, it’s now celebrated on the 2nd Friday of July so it always falls on a Fry-day!

The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread

On this day, July 7th in 1928, sliced bread was first sold, revolutionizing the baking industry! It was promoted as “the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped.” Many of us fondly remember Wonder Bread sandwiches in our lunchboxes. Wonder Bread was one of the first brands to sell sliced bread in 1930, becoming an icon in the process. The phrase “the greatest thing since sliced bread” has since become the way to praise new innovations. Check out more of my Food Photography at http://SecondFocus.com Thanks!

National Fried Chicken Day

Happy National Fried Chicken Day! πŸ”πŸ— It’s extra special this year, falling right during the long July 4th weekend. I wonder if we’ll see a spike in fried chicken consumption because of it? πŸ€” Fun fact: KFC is the 2nd largest fast-food chain globally with over 30,000 locations, only topped by McDonald’s with over 40,000 locations!
