Arnold For Governor 2003

From my archives, not one of my best photos but there is a story to it. This is at a campaign event when Arnold was running for Governor of California in 2003. It was at the Huntington Beach Pier. Arnold was known to always be horribly late. He could not tear himself away from one crowd to the next. As I recall this was now going from a morning start to mid-afternoon. So when she showed up the press was desperate for something to do, so she was interviewed a lot. Side note… although late by hours the crowds for Arnold only got bigger and more excited.

Solar Eclipse 10-14-2023

Video this morning 10-14-2023, the Annular Solar Eclipse. The large Sunspot area is designated AR3465. It is approximately 608 million square kilometers in size. By comparison the Earth is approximately 517 million square kilometers. Other places geographically had more coverage of the Sun by the Moon. But here in Palm Springs I found just as fascinating.

Gunfight Shoot

More from my archives, behind the scenes. This was an advertising shoot. The ad department sent me sketches of what they wanted and this was it exactly. Now I had a routine schedule of ads to shoot for them giving me time to produce them. But here they called me to let me know that they had made a mistake and needed it by the end of the week.

In four days we got it done. I had some good team members and a good reach for bodybuilding models. We arranged costumes, actual 19th century six guns, costumes and I searched and found a location. The ad ran in all of the bodybuilding and fitness magazines for months. And was seen online in front of millions of people.

Cara

More from my archives. My buddy Cara Basso. I love this woman. Photographed her many times editorial and advertising. Cara always showed up late but always ready. I never worried about it because she would always be there for me. As one person close to me said… when Cara walked in, all the air got sucked out of the room, all eyes were on her.

Beautiful Face

For the past months I have been working on my photo archives. Organizing, uploading to my searchable archive accessed through my website, uploading to my agencies for editorial and stock.

As I go through these photographs I thought I might share some at random, regardless of a theme or type. I have shot many genres. So here, a beautiful face. From March 2004 at a hotel in Irvine California. The camera was a Canon 1V, an all time favorite of mine, Kodak film and only natural light.
