Baby Dom

On February 13th @ 8:47 pm I became a great uncle to baby Dominic.

At 7lbs 5oz its amazing that baby Dom arrived 4 weeks premature. Just a few weeks before Dom's arrival my niece Joelle was hospitalized for having a small stroke due to a blood clot in her brain. As the family was concerned for both Joelle and Dom, there was no stopping the little guy from entering this world.

Congratulations to Walter, Joelle, Angelina and Dominic.

Here are a few pictures I was able to capture at the Justs residence.

Guitar World / Revolver shoot

Out of the blue I got a call from the photo director for Guitar World / Revolver magazine in NYC. My assignment was to photograph producer Jason Suecof from Charred Walls of the Damned for the "Tune Up" section of the magazine. Since Jason's partner Richard Christy lives in NYC the plan was to merge two photographs into one. My challenge was to match the lighting exact to what the photographer in NYC had done.

To my surprise Richard won Studdering John's job with Howard Stern, which is why he's up in NYC.

Upon arriving at their studio in Sanford, I was greeted by Jason and immediately felt at home. The studio I set up in was a bit on the small side. Especially for shooting "high - key" lighting.

This is what we came up with:

Hubbard construction shoot

On this assignment I spent 2 solid days photographing construction equipment for Hubbard as part of their new marketing/ advertising campaign. Both days I was escorted by 'Eddie and Craig' in a company Ford F150. Eddie is the companies oldest working employee and Craig is a cool South African who has heavy equipment in the veins. On both days I was driven to some pretty neat construction sites. One of which included the runway at MCO airport which Hubbard is in the process of resurfacing. I was literally 120 feet from the center of the runway!

I really enjoyed this shoot on many levels. The photography work was different than what I'm used to and what I learned about roadside construction was priceless. Hats off to all the hard work that goes into the nice roads we get to drive on each and every day.

Here are a few images from the shoot. Thanks again Eddie and Craig!
