So, this has been a big week. My brain is turning toward international work, I’ve updated the style of the web sites, and, as always, I’m keeping an eye out for the next BIG thing. How will photography look in 5 years? How will US Event Photos look in 5 years? Will it even be […]
“Are you insane mother?” I know you might think it’s just rude of me to talk this way to my mom, but I’d thought she lost it. “I have no interest in taking people in front of the Great Wall of China. Those things are so.. … FAKE.” She was trying, again, to convince […]
The suite stretched before me, two lux bedrooms separated by a curved living area, plate glass floor to ceiling windows overlooking the LA skylilne. A white leather sectional sofa in the suite’s living room, full wet bar, and two private bedrooms — both hosting king size beds. How did I score this? The Westin’s suite […]
Usually, I spend half my time findiing the next thing. It might be the next couch, like I wrote in my last blog post (I seem to go through couches like Paris Hilton goes through panties, considering I’m never home to sit on it. The couch, not Hilton’s panties.) or it might be the next […]
How is it one day you wake up, and everything seems out of style? Or, at least, everything you own, everything you are doing, is style challenged? You look in your closet. The blue Calvin Klein dress shirt isn’t cut quite right. It’s not tailored exactly the way you want it to be tailored, sagging […]
My new hobby is reading “Priceline” reviews on hotels. I just can’t stop myself, they are a window into how people think, and some of the funniest thinigs you’ve read in a long time. Of course, that’s not the intention, which ONLY MAKES THEM FUNNIER. This isn’t Yelp, where hip, cool, funny reviews are encouraged. […]
Since I am now a world (in)famous photographer, I have to say — I contribute my success to two things: 1) resourcefulness 2) planning 3) being early for everything 4) sourrounding myself with great people 5) not being cheap. OK! Those are five things. But they really are why I am successful. And by successful, […]
The Snack Food Association’s (SFA) convention moves from city to city, nationwide. And, like the NGA (my little story from yesterday — National Grocers Association), they have been a great client for years. Their annual convention is called “Snaxpo”, and their event kicks off in style. One year, Snaxpo started in San Antonio with a […]
I mentioned in another blog post: when you are a photographer, you are a fly on the wall of history. And, that works great until someone decides to beat the crap out of you. But there’s an advantage of being a photographer: at some point, you meet the famous. At least, if you work in […]
My trainer, Paul, said it best the other day: Everything cost something. We were actually talking (well, I was panting between squat reps — if you don’t squat you don’t work out) about a previous blog post, and that, distilled, was the bottom line. Fast forward to last night. Every night, I take a zen […]
