Here’s a collection of some of my favorites from my work for The Bee in no particular order. Enjoy.

This is officially my first magazine cover photo. It is of CART teacher Bethany Wielicki for Cable in the Classroom Magazine which will publish it in January. The publishers of the magazine found me through my American Society of Media Photographers membership link. I’m hoping that this one turns into a few more as this...
Working on Sunday I made a trip up to Pine Ridge at the top of the Four Lane east of Auberry for a church profile assignment. There was a little snow on the ground but the roads were clear, making for a great day for families to take to the snow for a little holiday...
Saw some cool cloudy like action in the sky coming back from Madera Wednesday. I was supposed to be looking for snow-capped foothills but they were behind clouds so I looked pretty much straight up and got an even better shot.
This is Fresno State forward Nedeljko Golubovic, center, having his shot stuffed by Montana’s Kyle Sharp in the second half of their game at the Save Mart Center Sunday. Tough loss (65-69) for the Bulldogs who are looking like they need some inspiration, or maybe a a kick. Now that we know how the ‘Dogs...
James Hetfield of Metallica takes on some evil light as he rocks Fresno with a concert at the Save Mart Center on Saturday. I shot a series of photos for The Bee which is planning a review in Tuesday’s paper. Audience reviews are already in and can be seen on Mike Osegueda’s blog. More photos...
On my way to an assignment in the Pacific Towers building in downtown Fresno, I noticed the elevator dial on the old building once known at the Security Bank Building in the Fulton Mall. Coming back down the elevator I turned and shot a few pics. The 1920s detail struck me as an elegant reflection...
I went out to this old church just before Thanksgiving. It’s The Academy Church out in Academy. I never knew it was there but apparently it’s one of the oldest Protestant churches in the Valley. It’s right off hwy 168 but tucked away so you can’t see it until you’re right up on it. It...
We climbed out of the fog to about 2,800 feet for a photo session of the Delbianco’s in North Fork. It presented me with something a little different than Woodward Park, which was nice. The rocks, babbling brook and evergreens made for great backdrops… Not to be outdone by the tractor, however. Slideshow after the...
Members of the Cullers family got together at Woodward park to take advantage of the fall color for a photo session. The day after Thanksgiving worked out pretty good for these folks who were together for the holiday anyway.
This is Megan and Ryan. They are freshly engaged and asked me to photograph them at Woodward Park so that they can send photos to friends and family as a “save the date” announcement for a wedding next year back home on the east coast. It was a pleasure shooting them as their energy showed...
This is Pete Hodian of Pete’s Shoe Repair, an old-style cobbler who uses equipment that are dated beyond his own 80 years. Although business isn’t as good as it used to be, Pete still enjoys the occasional patron who comes in for a new heel or sole. His favorite part of the day may be...
This is Fresno State’s Anthony Harding scoring the first of his two touchdowns that put away my alma mater, San Jose State, at Spartan Stadium in San Jose Friday night. This picture ran on the cover of Sports in The Bee. The first half was flat-out awful so I’m glad we were able to wait...
This is Kai, a cute little girl who I photographed in a portrait session last weekend. She had the Audrey Hepburn thing going pretty good and we did a number of references to old photos of the famous Hollywood star. Can’t help but start humming ‘Moon River’ while working on these photos.
This photo shows Ariana Sanchez of Our Lady of Miracle in Gustine as she poses as Our Lady of Guadalupe in the annual Virgin of Guadalupe procession through downtown Fresno last December. After several weeks I finally found out this was the photo that placed first in the Division II features category in the California...
