Celebrity


Call it the luck of the Irish (I am one after all, by marriage) for this year I was lucky enough to be called back to shoot the Los Angeles St. Patrick's Day Parade. This event is always fun one to do as I always have something interesting to shoot or I get to meet someone interesting. This year was no exception; I not only met the beautiful Vera Jimenez (here pictured with me) but a myriad of police officers, firemen, celebrities and hundreds of school children who make this such a wonderful event. A favorite of mine was the band from Baja California whose "colonial" looking uniforms and enthusiastic cheerleaders made it that more special. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. You can see them here

Women's Fastpitch at Fullerton


Steve Miner, a good friend and Assistant Coach for the women's fastpitch team at San Diego State University got me access to shoot their team at a local game against Cal State Fullerton. I don't often have the chance to shoot women's fastpitch so I was very excited about getting this opportunity. It did not disappoint. The game was exciting and had quite a bit of action. I think the women bring a different flavor to the game with their chants and their energy but they are not any different from the men when it comes to being tough and competitive. It was truly a pleasure to shoot them and I hope I get the opportunity to do so again. The photos are posted here if you wish to peruse them.
