Photoshoot w/Cynnie J

I’m back in Los Angeles a month today so I thought I’d share some photos from a recent shoot with my second favorite unsigned L.A. singer song writer; the wonderful Cynnie J. We shot on location in West Hollywood on the Sunset Strip at Sunset. Here are a few of my faves from that photoshoot!

NYC Collection: #54

A few shots around Times Square in NYC during a morning summer rain storm. I was tracking the storm via radar and I knew it would pass directly over the midtown area so I headed up there to intercept the storm. The sky went from light to dark very quickly creating the perfect conditions to shoot a small series of reflection shots.

A few days in Parker, Arizona.

God I love the Parker Strip so much! Here are a few shots from a recent trip there. It's a ten mile section of the Colorado river on the Arizona/California state line where you can go boating and cliff jumping. It's like an oasis in the middle of the hot desert. Beers, burgers, & boats. Good times!

A visit to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library

Here are a few photographs and quotes I took from a recent visit to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library located in Simi Valley, California. The man's life story is so inspiring to me. The man started off from super humble beginnings and with nothing but hard work and determination, he rose to become the president of the United States.

We learned from our parents that individuals determine their own destiny; that is, it’s largely their own ambition and hard work that determine their fate in life.
— Ronald Reagan

On my desk in the Oval Office, there sits a plaque that says, ‘It can be done.’ It’s a belief that I deeply hold true.
— Ronald Reagan

We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
— Ronald Reagan
The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
— Ronald Reagan

America’s best days are yet to come. Our proudest moments are yet to be. Our most glorious achievements are just ahead.
— Ronald Reagan
