The Moose

Love the natural light studios, can't resist them.

Cupertino & Berkeley

Had a wonderful time working with the New Yorkers. Nice to have some east coast snobbery to keep me from going completely N. Cal Hippie. Sad to have busted up the cube truck, but hey sometimes things just don't go as planned. Check out Marco's website, his agency is the same as Herb Ritts.....Perhaps another legend in the making. He also has a great assistant, Tara.

My Dusty Canon 50mm Macro

This old lens has served me well. I bought it on my 18th birthday, along with my EOS 3. The poor little thing just can't hold focus any longer. Hard to let the thing go but the repair man says it can't be salvaged. 12 years isn't bad for a lens. Time to get the 100mm and say farewell to over a decade of use. This photo was taken with the addition of an extension tube, that luckily doesn't need replacing.

Mavis

Thanks to Caren Alpert for the use of her beautiful studio. Rentals are available and the space has a huge freight elevator! I used the Profoto Umbrella for this shot and I love the soft wrap around light. Cant believe this was a F11.

Montara

Nice long hike up the Montara hillside, this is a view towards Pacifica. It's a long 11 miles with a 2200 elevation gain. It's the best time of year to enjoy some vibrant green outdoors! Also a dog friendly hike. The Mavis was in heaven.
