A friend of mine and I decided to walk down Sunset Strip last night and do some street photography when it started to kinda drizzle, I looked up to feel the drizzle on my face when these branches caught my eyes.

Harboring a Kiss

Last night I was at the Newport Pier photographing it from below, when I noticed this couple taking a walk. I started talking to them for a bit to find out that Dori (The wife) is also a photographer. I was able to persuade them into participating in one pose for me, and in return I would give them a copy of it and be greatful. This was shot with available light only.

Recently I have been inspired to photograph the ocean and sunset more. It's a great reminder as to how lucky we are to live in Southern California.

Survival state

Recently when in NY I was sitting with a good friend at a local pizza parlor and talking about the details of the shoot we had just wrapped up. And I happen to look outside through the window. Luckily I had my camera handy on the table and was able to capture the moment. Every time I look at this photo it reminds me of the state of the economy we have all been experiencing for the last 3 years or so...

I had the pleasure of working with Susan G. Komen to create the image above which is to resemble the four stages of finding a cure... by the time the little girl is an adult, at age 20... to start clinical breast exams, at age 40... to have annual mammograms and at age 60... to celebrate surviroship.

Also a good reminder that the 5K race for the cure is coming up on Sunday, September 25, 2011.

SignYard

Came across this sign junk yard while in Vegas last week. We weren't able to get, I guess its by appointment only. But I managed to get this one image, really wished I could get inside and take more pictures. Perhaps on the next trip I will try and make an appointment!

Nature as water Hose

I had to take this picture today as I saw this man using nature as a hose. After snapping the picture he asked me as to why I was taking a picture of him. I told him that I thought it was an interesting for him to choose to wash his car in the rain. He replied "this way, I don't have to dry it and I save time...". I wonder if Timothy Ferriss would consider this technique for another one of his time saving methods!
