I have helped lots of models start their careers and in many cases helped launch them to great successes. Do you have what it takes to be a great model? Are you willing to work hard at it? If so, I can help...

HERE IS A LIST OF MY ARCHIVED JOURNAL ENTRIES

Several weeks ago, a bunch of us from the studio decided to enjoy a gorgeous summer night and head downtown to kick back with a drink (or two, or three...)

Ok. I’m totally bragging here but I think you would too…

Ok, so I get requests to shoot models for tests for Playboy all the time.
They are always surprised to hear that I don't charge for Playboy tests as apparently there are other photographers that do.

But it did make me laugh...

I had a few photographer friends over last night to watch the latest UFC.
Jacqueline Megaw, Kris Josef and Ward LaForme Jr. joined me for drinks and fisticuffs.

If you've ever taken the time to read further back in my journal, you would have noticed a bunch of entries regarding Liz Hubbard. I used to refer to her as the nuts in my gum.

I was in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago for the Olympia.
While there, I rode the single scariest ride ever - The X Scream at the Stratosphere.

The title says it all!

So I'm working with Marisa Nero tomorrow for American Curves Magazine.

When I first met her, I couldn't believe the resemblance to Trish Stratus. I actually thought she WAS Trish when she walked in.

I had a shoot today with 8 or so models for an agency.

As the models walked in I would evaluate them based on their movements and confidence. I can almost pinpoint which models will be very good at posing and which ones will require a little more work.

A long time ago I had emailed Maggie Diubaldo to shoot some conceptual stuff. Her reply back then was rather cold and abrupt - So much so, that I decided not to shoot her. I remember thinking she was an asshole... lol.

I don't know what I was thinking...

I got the notion that I need a little more one day and kinda ran with the idea.

Now, I'm kinda regretting it as my life is upside down.

Here's the front of my house,

We drink a lot of Corona at the studio.
We buy it partially because of the taste and partially because of the association to vacations.

I caught a glimpse of an actress just recently while changing channels - Selma Blair.

 I had the pleasure of working with Jamie Eason the other day.  If you don't know who she is google her name - She's like the hottest thing on this planet. I want one... screw it, while I'm dreaming, I'll take a couple Jamies.

Busted!!!

I little while back I had a shoot with a couple of body builders. This is not something I shoot all that often (Although you'd be surprised how much I do) because I love women more. It's hard for me to say things like "Yeah buddy, arch your back - That's hot!" Somehow, it just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Needless to say, when I do shoot the man meat, as I like to refer to it, I'm always very happy with the results.

Here's a shot I did with Lee Priest and Rusty Jeffers working out.

Two very short points.
1. I had a shoot today with Sarah assisting. We both had our laptops on when we decided to break for lunch.  Because my alarm system has very sensitive motion detectors Sarah became worried that the screen saver from her laptop would set them off.

I had my first annual pool party the other day.

It was my friend / make up artist's Lori's birthday the other day. Not knowing what to get her I called a few friends for advice. For the record, my friends SUCK at recommendations! Serious, one mentioned a warm handshake.

This week has been yet another crazy week for me in terms of shoots.
