Race Cars Are Cool!!! Huh Huh Huh!!!

November 21st, 2009

Ok, so the sound of a race car makes me smile like a little kid.  I was fortunate enough to photograph this cool car being tested on a dyno at Performance Associates in San Dimas and at Irwindale Speedway  I created these image for Danny Poore, a local dentist who still loves to play with cars.  I offer a special discount to anyone who hands me the keys to a machine as cool as this.  This Mustang has a V6 with almost 500hp to the rear wheels and it weights less than 2200 lbs.  It goes way fast and sounds very cool.  Check out this video to get a feel of it.  This video was shot while I was shooting the car myself.  I wish I was still there it was very exciting.

Western Christian Seventh Grade Project!

May 8th, 2009

Check out this slideshow I created of a fine art coffee table book I created.  I made this book with the help of Western Christian’s seventh grade class.  They are auctioning the book next weekend to help raise money for the school.  We had a blast creating these fun images.  Take a sneak peak at a few of the pages from the book.   A big thanks to Beth Pujol who helped wrangle the fun kids and allowed me to create.M.N. 

 

Cool As a Cucumber!

April 24th, 2009

I was fortunate enough this week to photograph Adrienne Dorig’s latest creation.  I began my work week creating images of this cool green bathroom in Claremont.  I loved the feel of this room.   Adrienne creates mood and atmosphere with her designs.

Team Mixer at White House!

April 7th, 2009

I attended the 2009 TEAM Referral Network, member event at The White House in Anaheim.  I had a blast photographing all of the eager networkers.  TEAM members check out the entire image gallery here.  I put my favorites in the slideshow below for your viewing pleasure.  The two speakers featured in the slideshow are Eric Lofolm and Mimi Donaldson.  Both of them were very informative and entertaining.  If your interested in growing personally or your business I strongly suggest you check these two out.  Success just emanates from these two dynamic personalities.

Keeping the Creativity Alive

March 26th, 2009

I photographed this kitchen remodel in La Verne California this week. My friend Adrienne Dorig designed this kitchen. You can check out her work at  http://dorigdesigns.com/default.aspx 

I haven’t done advertising photography in awhile. It was fun to do something different. Photographing something new helped to rejuvenate my creativity.  Of course I had to do a portrait of the dog.

Dr. Gray and Family

March 26th, 2009

I have been creating portraits of Dr. Gray’s patients for several years now.  Dr. Joseph Gray is a local orthodontist in Upland California.  Joe purchases a private portrait session with me for all his clients.  Every time they come in my studio with their gift certificate from Joe I just ask to see their smile.  Joe is truly an artist with teeth.  I am now able to recognize his work in my clients.  Simply put; he makes their smiles gorgeous.  Check out his website here.  http://www.drjoegray.com/html/Default.asp  The images below are of Joe and his family.  It was great to connect with Joe on a personal level after working together for so long.  His love for his family shows up in everything this man does.  He is a role model for me as an artist, father, and entrepreneur.  Thanks for all the support Joe!

Spring’s Gifts

March 10th, 2009

Yesterday I noticed the wildflowers blooming while my bike ride through San Dimas .  I chose to spend this morning cruising in my car with camera and coffee; looking for art, inspiration, and adventure.  Below is my weekly dose of art for the world.  Enjoy and have a great day.

Stinky Comes Home!

March 5th, 2009

I had the opportunity to be Aidan’s hero yesterday and it was fabulous.  Aidan has had this blue elephant since he was a baby.  He slept with it and kept it so close to him that I named him “Stinky” for obvious reasons.  I had to sneak Stinky away for baths every few weeks; very stinky!  A few months back Stinky was lost.  We looked everywhere since he meant so much to Aidan.  After awhile all of us gave up on finding Stinky.  The other night I was looking for my asthma inhaler and I found Stinky.  I decided to make things really special and deliver Stinky gift wrapped to Aidan as a surprise.  The pictures below and the link tell the rest.  I got a “I love you daddy” when it was all done.  The smiles were worth everything.  I truly enjoy taking something simple and making it a special memory.  The memory that was created is priceless.  Long live Stinky!  Make someones day and give them what they need “emotionally.”  It is so simple to love one another; and rewarding.  http://www.mnweddingphoto.com/public_html/slideshows/stinky/

Cute Claremont Couple Engagement

March 4th, 2009

Check out these adorable pics of my new friends/clients Paul and Rebekah.  A month ago we had great fall colors in Claremont.  Don’t ask me what season it is; I just know the colors were so vibrant a few weeks back.  Yellows, reds, and orange; it was beautiful.  The interior shots were done in the Claremont Packing House. This space was a citrus packing house and it was renovated about a year ago to include shops, restaurants, art galleries, artists lofts, and a jazz bar.  It’s very hip and Claremont; it’s also a great space for portraits. If you want to see more check out this link.  http://www.claremontpackinghouse.com/home.htm

True Love!

March 4th, 2009

I photographed this cute young Claremont couple a few weeks back.  We went to Bonelli Park in San Dimas; one of my favorite spots.  I got to watch them giggle like teenagers; it was inspiring.  Take a close look at these images of Carolyn and Ralph.  I see true love when I look at their smiles.  Love each other every day!
