The client was promoting 3 new hot and spicy sandwiches and the discussion turned to possibly having a graphic fire background. I suggested maybe we can have a real live fire as a background. Can you do that? Why not? Here is a GIF of the results. What's better than playing with fire on a photo shoot... and we didn't burn down the studio!

This is actually a color shot but the iphone rendered it sort of B&W.

Got to the course at sunrise but everyone was waiting for the fog to lift a bit so you could see your ball!

Who doesn't love Halloween? Here is a shot from a shoot a couple years ago in North Carolina. We were shooting at a house that had an old graveyard right next door. The CD was into old graveyards as am I so went over and took a couple of shots before we got started. What is that old saying? Whistling past the grave yard?

Finally some new irons!! Needed a change since the old ones were 12 years old. New means better, right? I had to photograph them before I dug them into the ground and scratched them up. So now, are they are going to be "good" clubs or "bad" clubs?

Here is a shot from a shoot in the Florida keys (The Moorings in Islamorada) a while back. This is really a special place to shoot or to take a low key (pardon the pun) vacation. Nice cottages, your own beach, and great seafood and sunsets close by. While I was waiting for some merchandise to be prepped for a shot, one of the models walked out on the dock. As beautiful as it looks in the shot, there was a cold wind blowing. She was obviously cold, so she wrapped one of the blankets around herself. I converted to B&W but left "Old Glory" in red, white and blue. Ohh say can you see...

Going to Chicago later this month for a job and was looking at some iphone picts from last year's trip for the same job. This was the best Ramen bowl!! Pork cheek, greens, scallions and peppers. So good... I think I had it 3 times in a week!

This is a shot I did for Cinco de Mayo. I wanted it to be kind of rough and raw... Drink up!

Big fat cheeseburger? Check. Pulled pork? Oh yea, and bacon too! Creamy coleslaw? Gotta have it. Barbecue sauce. Dahhh. This is going to be tasty!!

I am really excited about my upcoming burger shoot... Should be fun and I am shooting with my favorite food stylist and prop stylist. We will have time to play and make some tasty images.

Was playing around and trying to make a kinda retro Hawaiian Punch background. Anybody remember? Little cartoon guy with a straw hat...How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?? POW!! Probably not PC today... Go ahead, click on the Link. You know you want to!

Was looking at a shot I did with food stylist Kimberly Tabor and prop stylist Peggy Jordao who I love to work with and was wondering what I could do to "dress it up" a bit. Hey, why not put it on the cover of Saveur? I love the magazine and one of these days...

This is the first year in a while I didn't grow any tomatoes. I have been growing heirlooms for a few years in the winter season which is the only time you can grow them in South Florida. The plants should be big by now with green tomatoes. Here is a shot of last year's harvest. Next winter for sure!

I was outside testing the autofocus of a 60mm macro lens and saw a few of these jewel toned Long legged flies. They are only about 1/4 Inch long and it took a few tries to capture because they would fly away when I got close. They are called flies after all. These are very beneficial insects as they remove plant harming insects such as aphids, mites etc. One might say a Superfly! Come on... Click on the link!
