Cullers family

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.

Engagement photography at Woodward Park

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...

Shoe fixer

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...

Bulldozing Bulldog

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...

Kai

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.

CNPA winner

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...

Coastal gem

I shot this wedding on November first in the beautiful coastal town of La Selva Beach just south of Santa Cruz. It was an incredible venue with a 180 degree coastal views. And the house was absolutely amazing. An early rain put a damper on what was should have been a typical golden California Autumn...

The Met takes off

finally opened today after a three-year restoration project. Their first major exhibit is Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origin of Flight. I got a sneak preview before the big grand reopening ceremony and was pretty impressed. The new layout is much more open and bright than it was before and the elevator is way more speedy....

Da Governor

It’s cool being the only newspaper show in town when you have a Governor like Arnold Schwarzenegger. He comes to town pretty often to push whatever issues he’s working on — this time it’s the state budget and the slumping economy. He may not be quite the action figure he once was in the movies,...

Marathon day

Sunday was a marathon day for running enthusiasts around The Valley as well as myself. Getting to the start line, two places along the route and to the finish for the winners was no easy task. But my blisters were hardly noticeable when it was all said and done. More photos after the jump:

A Perfect Setting

I was invited to come and “second shoot” Renea and Bobby’s wedding with local photographer extraordinaire RC Jones about a month ago. This was only the second wedding I’ve shot while working on my portfolio. The day couldn’t have gone better. A few clouds kept the harsh light at bay while later afternoon sunlight made...
