My Winter Photo Studio

My Winter Photo Studio

Too Much Fun For Me!

Too Much Fun For Me!

Too much fun for me! Carrying a camera around I get to photograph the photographers shooting at so many events going on here in Palm Springs during Modernism Week. And in this case a photographer who looks really good in front of a camera too. Sandra Baroni at Gallery 446.

Is That Madonna?

Is That Madonna?

“Is that Madonna?” is the question I keep hearing! I recently did this photo shoot with a truly extraordinary Heidi Cannon Wbff Pro. I must tell you that Heidi was just amazing and it was a wonderful photo shoot!

I liked this photograph from the shoot so very much that I made it my business card. The first time I have changed the photograph on my business card in almost eight years, and Heidi replaced Phil Heath!

So now as I hand them at in my travels, I get asked all the time, including last night at a gallery opening “Is that Madonna?”. I think that’s fun! Very Fun!

So Who Is Next?

So Who Is Next?

It can be so very simple… It just takes one of my cameras, some film and one of the many settings in my “studio”. And someone to photograph. In this case it was Brad Gwinn. So who is next? You perhaps?
