    Champion's Week Red Carpet at the Wynn, Las Vegas (my Joan Rivers moment)

    It is true that there are many, many red carpet gala events during “Champion’s Week” in Las Vegas, NV.  For the past three years, I’ve worked a private gala, hosted by Sprint, for the families of the racing teams.   It’s 2 hours of pressure!  Everything must be executed with military precision, and we use […]

    GOES and the CRAZY LESBIAN , part 3

    The trip was great.  First, eight days on the beaches of Tulum, MX for vacation.  Mornings spent running in the surf.  Afternoons swimming.  Evenings sleeping just feet from the waves. Our cabana was the closest to the Caribbean in the world.  Not good during a hurricane, but freaking amazing any other time. From Tulum we […]

    Vacation and Business

    This past — what, it seems like forever — few weeks, I’ve been in Tulum, MX on vacation and then straight to Leon, MX for a shoot with Pemex. Vacation.  The word sends images of swaying palm trees, endless white beaches, soft mosquito curtains billowing in the gentle Caribbean breeze.  Plates of fruit for breakfast, […]

    Imagine a world without hate.

    I’m tapping this out on my ipad from Leon, MX: but wanted to share it.  Every year my mom shoots ADL, the AntiDefamation League.  Every year, she meets this lady who survived the holocaust.  They’ve become friends.  Here is the pic from today. Mom is on the right. A simple message from a group focusing […]

    The Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders VS The Conservative Caucus

    In honor of tomorrow’s annual shoot with the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders, I’m telling this story…. Sometimes, when a new client calls, you take a risk.  Are they looking for you?  Or, are they searching for someone you’re not. ***** “This is Mike Gatty, the photographer.” “Hi, Mike, this is Barbara Zahn of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Back during his childhood, Delaware was a segregated state — and David went to the “colored school” because […]
