I just found out that May is National Bike Month. Established in 1956, the League of American Bicyclists says it “… is a chance to showcase the many benefits of bicycling — and encourage more folks to giving biking a try”. So I hope you find my photograph encouraging. Thanks!
So very many of my photoshoots that I have not shown yet. But I am working to do that now that I have more time. They will be on my website, galleries, books. For simplicity I am going alphabetically, at least for the moment. Much more of model Amber Flowers soon. My website at SecondFocus.com
Very fun to be featured by the Artists Council for May 2024. The Artists Council, in it’s sixth year as an independent organization, was previously part of the prestigious Palm Springs Art Museum. It occupies the award winning Galen Building in Palm Desert California. It is a museum quality facility hosting numerous gallery shows throughout the year. Thank You Artists Council!
I just happened to notice that one of my all time favorite restaurants is still using my photograph at the top of their Facebook page. That is 10 years now. It is the view from the bar out onto the patio and Palm Canyon Drive in downtown Palm Springs. Love it!
📸 Happy National Camera Day! 📸 Today, we celebrate the incredible device that captures memories, moments, and magic in our lives. From vintage classics to cutting-edge technology, the camera has been an integral part of human expression and storytelling.
This is the iconic Rolleiflex TLR. A camera used by many legendary photographers of the past and still coveted by some today.
I photographed this Rolleiflex using modern innovation – a Hasselblad X1D11 50c camera paired with the Broncolor F160 LED monolight. Thinking about it; it is a fusion of tradition and innovation.
Let me also announce the first major change to my website in 20 years. Head over to http://SecondFocus.com to take a look. Stay tuned as I’ll be adding much more, so be sure to visit often. Thank you for your continued support! 🌟🖥️ #NationalCameraDay #Photography #Rolleiflex #Hasselblad #Broncolor #SecondFocus #CameraWest
I know you have been waiting for it… National Pretzel Day! These are Pretzels from the first commercial Pretzel bakery in the USA. Founded by Julius Sturgis in Pennsylvania in 1861 and still in business making Pretzels. More of my food photographs at http://FoodArtPhotos.com Thanks! April 26 2024
I always look forward to the annual publication of the APA Sourcebook. It is very exciting to be alongside some of the best photographers in the world. This year one of my all time favorite photographs, Natalie Lyle. American Photographic Artists 2024.

Have you ever visited my website? https://www.secondfocus.com It is a site created on liveBooks which I subscribed to at least 20 years ago. liveBooks became the de facto standard for professional photography. I was one of the very first to use them. Likely now I am the longest running photographer on their huge platform. It is visited by some 30,000 people per month. I will be making some changes to it in the next few weeks to exhibit my new projects. But for now, take a look and Thank You! https://www.secondfocus.com
A studio fashion photoshoot. However created in AI. The tell-tale sign that I am not the photographer in the scene… I don’t have that much hair on my head.
Very fun! My photograph “No Butter” was given it’s own wall space at the newly opened “Through The Lens” photography show at the Artists Council Center at the Galen in Palm Desert California. The show is up through April 21 2024.
Just the popcorn. Everybody loves popcorn. No boxes, no special preparation. Just popcorn poured out on all black. An original photograph displayed by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum. The result is a magical luminescence.
Another extraordinary creation by artist Jerry L. Hanson. This Chainmaille dress created from 20,000 individual links. So very unique as are each of his works of fashion art. Modeled by my beautiful friend WBFF Bikini World Champion Heidi Cannon, in front of my camera, here in Palm Springs California. January 30 2024.
I have always loved this adaptation of a photograph I shot of bodybuilder John Hansen. It is the featured photograph for his Facebook group “Muscles At The Movies”. Check it out https://www.facebook.com/groups/459483167410883
This is fun… My photograph submission has been selected for the juried Artists Council Exhibition (ACE Show) 2024 at the Artists Center at the Galen in Palm Desert California.

This is a good view of the airport in Thermal from flying Saturday. It is actually Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport. It is being considered for the new location for the Reno Air Races. 01-06-2024 Thermal California
I was so very pleased to have found Nova. Totally random but for some reason I remembered her. I collect these Hasselblad books. Nova Published In Hasselblad Victor Photography Book One. Original photograph by Damon Loble. Nova was very excited to see this. She had never seen it before.
