F/A-18 Hornet Departing Palm Springs
This morning, a United States Navy F/A-18 Hornet departing the Palm Springs Airport. It almost left without me seeing it and I got my camera up just in time. I just did a little research and found that this plane is from the Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 101 (VMFAT-101), a United States Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet training squadron. The squadron is based at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California.
An Other Worldly Glow In Chalk

She has been a featured artist at museums, festivals and exhibitions from Florida to Hawaii to China and Mexico and much more. What a treat to be able to photograph her and other artists live works right here in Palm Springs.
P-51 Mustang Very Low and Very Fast!
The P-51 Mustang “Wee Willy II” at The Palm Springs Air Museum yesterday. He made four passes low and fast! Very low and very fast, and I also stood as tall as I could to shoot the photographs!

Starting The Weekend With Heidi Cannon
I am thinking we need some more Wbff Pro, Heidi Cannon from our photo shoot here in the Palm Springs desert to get the weekend started!
She Could Just Fly!
Is there any doubt that she could just fly! A vision in the desert amidst the windmills is Heidi Cannon, Wbff Pro, from our photo shoot!
Bodybuilding Front & Back
Of all the photographs I shot for Bodybuilding.com which were used to create dozens of “wallpapers” this one has always been my favorite. Dexter Jackson on stage at the 2006 Arnold. Also a physique which to me is really “bodybuilding”.
Girls & Cars – Good & Bad
So many photographs of girls with cars out there. This is my idea of what that should look like. Rebekah Ryan posing like there is relevance of her being with that Ferrari and in that setting. Just a long time pet peeve for me, most girls with car photos look just like they are standing there next to a car with no point to it. Thanks!
More Is Better Of Randalene!
I just thought it would be fun if you got to see all of her! The photograph we shot that is the original of her Facebook profile photo that has been so very popular. Randalene Sergent in Palm Springs. I think more is better, especially when it is Randalene!
Working Hard Under Difficult Circumstances…

Not Enough!
Raechelle Chase IFBB Figure Professional in front of my camera in the gym. What a fun day and Raechelle Chase is just so very striking beautiful! All the way from New Zealand, the only thing wrong with photographing Raechelle is it does not happen often enough!
I Think Ronnie Said…
I was wondering what Ronnie Coleman was thinking behind those sunglasses when I shot this photograph of him at the 2006 Olympia. So I asked him, but it was very loud in there with the crowd and all. I think he said he was wondering, for the rest of you, how those core fitness workouts on those pastel color inflatable balls was working out for you guys. Yeah, that was it, I am sure that’s what he said!
I Am Sure That Was A Long Line!
Sherry Goggin is just too gorgeous for words! What an amazing woman signing posters from our photo shoot at the Arnold Sports Festival last week. No doubts that was a long line!

So what were you doing last weekend? Randalene Sergent was winning the INBA/PNBA Bikini Championships. My response… Well of course she won! What do you think! Randalene in one of our photo shoots with makeup and hair styling by Natalie Lyle.
Doing Good!
A big shout out to my friend Marc-arthur Dautruchee. He made his way to stand on the Arnold stage this past weekend and did good! This guy is impressive and has a lot of heart. We are going to be seeing a lot more of Marc! He also impressed the crowd working out in the pit at Muscle Beach over the Summer. Good thing I had a camera!

Huge Congratulations To Ava Cowan!
A huge congratulations to my best buddy Ava Cowan. Ava Cowan just this weekend was on stage for the Figure International at the Arnold Sports Festival. But it was only a year ago when we didn’t know if she would ever be on stage again. Suffering an injury that put her out of the gym and into surgery, it was a long climb back. A climb that I know most would have found all but impossible. So go visit her Facebook pages to learn more about this extraordinary human being and how she did it. There is much to learn for all of us. And now she is off to do it again at the Arnold Australia! Outstanding! This photo from one of our past photo shoots in Marina Del Rey California. Thanks!
An Arnold Winner All The Way From Singapore!
A huge congratulations to my friend Joan Liew. She made her way all the way from Singapore to Columbus Ohio this weekend to win her class in the Arnold Amateur Physique Championships! Outstanding! A photograph from our photo shoot when she made her way all the way from Singapore to me in Palm Springs California. And Makeup and Hair Styling by Natalie Lyle!
My Other Photo Studio… A Gym Of Course!
My photography studio is also… in a gym of course! And here with Xavisus Gayden Ifbb Pro. Come workout in front of my cameras. But be warned it is not as easy as it might look. No fake weights with me.
My Winter Photo Studio
I was just thinking about my good buddy Heidi Cannon Wbff Pro back in Columbus Ohio right now at the “Arnold”. Been there a few times myself. But your sure can’t beat the winter here in front of my cameras in my studio! And Heidi sure made it look good!
