Simi Valley Fire

After driving around for THREE hours trying to get to the fire, I gave up because there was absolutely no way of getting close enough to the action... unless of course I had a helicopter, which I don't. I managed to capture this very simple yet beautiful picture... nothing fascinating but I thought my friends and family would appreciate the effort.

Santa Anita Horse Racing

Today was a great day at the Santa Anita Race Tracks. Jake and I loaded up the gear, or he did, and learned about the Nikon D3 and two crazy lenses (200mm and 400mm). I had approximately $10,000 resting in my hands, worth more than my car, needless to say I spent most of my time worrying about dropping it rather than shooting with it. It was a great experience and I got a few shots that I liked.

Had to throw in a panorama... 

US Open of Surfing

Down in Huntington Beach, CA, the US OPen of Surfing crowded the beach once again. There was barely any room to stand let alone sit. Even though the people pissed me off with their shoving and pushing, it wasn't enough to ruin my awesome day of shooting. I didn't get the photos I was hoping for... but these are the ones I liked out of the bunch.

Toney vs. Rahman

James Toney comes back in an effort to win the heavy-weight champion belt once again. The fight took place on July 16, 2008 at the Pechanga Resort in Temecula, CA. During the third round, James Toney accidentally head-butted Hasim Rahman and Rahman called off the fight due to his inability to see.

James Toney Weigh-In

Heavyweight champion James Toney at his weigh-in for his fight tomorrow (pictures coming soon). It was so much fun being a part of his crew and being around an amazing group of family and friends. There's no better entourage.

Funky Fresh Photoshoot

These are a couple photos from today's photoshoot with Jazzy.  A lot of fashion photos are using funky hairstyles for their models, including afros.  So I did my best to make her look gorgeous and funky at the same time.

Mother's Day

I was taking some pictures for my friends' mom (with mother's day around the corner) and I found these to be pretty artsy. Enjoy.
