I had over 15,000 pictures stored on my iPhone and it was getting pretty hard to find anything. So I finally made the difficult decision to download everything off my phone. I say difficult because I love having immediate access to everything – I guess I’m a picture hoarder.

Last minute shoot for an upcoming magazine with Kristie Taylor today. She came in a little nervous to work with me. She was afraid I was going to be all serious n shit.
We had a great ol’ time and even shot a video for ANDIVERO.com
See some of her Playboy behind the scenes pics here.
I’m quite certain this won’t be the last you see of this beauty.

Sometimes I think Dylan Fitzpatrick should just set up a bedroom at the studio. lol
She referred me to a client to shoot some cars and her and a friend, Jen Berman in said cars.
Can you believe I get paid to do this?
*****
I was shooting for Allure Lingerie’s Catalogue the other day and one of the models was the always awesome Dylan Fitzpatrick. She had just returned from The Playboy Intimates contest and had the best stories to tell. Here are some behind the scenes from the catalogue shoot.

From my current stint in San Diego.

I just returned from my annual pool party in the Caribbean. We got some amazing stuff to say the very least.
Here’s a capture of Rita Catolino in the ocean at night.
I simply love the way the water exploded so evenly around her.
You can see more from the Pool Party here.

I had a shoot booked with Carrie Keller and I realized I hadn’t seen any pics of her. I don’t usually accept shoots without seeing pictures first, as I have little free time and want to make sure the private assignments I DO accept, are worthwhile.
That being said, it was a pleasant surprise when she walked in. Not only did she look fantastic, but her posing was off the charts!
I’ll be posting more pics of her later on.
Here are just a few for now.
*****
I was shooting Noora Kuusivuori today and we couldn’t help chuckle at the colour on her elbows. We laughed at the thought that they looked like nipples.

I don’t know why, but it’s become a habit to draw on our faces when we drink.

Here’s a sign we have at the front of the studio. I don’t know why… It’s just funny to me.

And no… We have no goats. Not free ones anyhow.

I was storing a sports car for a friend at the studio. During an Oxygen shoot, I asked Stacy Kennedy (Editor in Chief for Oxygen Magazine) to hop in for a shot.
Sexy Car – Sexy Mama. She’s going to kill me for this!
*****
The first day I met met Angelo Tofalo, was also the day Charlie Riina tested for Playboy above…
Little did he know he would end up in shoots. The pics below are some behind the scenes from an amazing shoot I had with Bree Lind. She’s such a good model and a great friend.

I shot the Premier Fitness campaign this past summer and we had lots of incredible talent.
Here’s a candid moment with Rita Catolino and Marc Megna. I’m not sure where Rita came from, she pounced from out of nowhere – It was just supposed to be a pic of Marc, but the second he took his shirt off – This happened.
*****
We were setting up the giant BBQ for this past summer’s overXXXposed show (HEAT STROKE). Darko shows up, and immediately commandeered the fire. He also told us we were idiots, and would die of starvation if left in the wild to fend for ourselves.

While working with Gretchen Coley this summer, a coffee truck pulled up across the street. She commented she would love a coffee. So I get her a dollar and dared her to go get it. It’s not like it was cold or raining or anything.

Shot at B Town Sound Studios with Mike from WOTE and Sarah Blackwood – Sarah Blackwood is super sexy. You can see one of our shoots here.
Neither of them want me in their band.

I was shooting Jamie Eason for a few fitness magazines and in between sets I showed her some videos from the 1st overXXXposed show. I told her she should come up to the next one and she said, “Screw that, I want to be IN the next one”. and proceeded to accuse me of trying to protect her image. lmao. Of course, I wasn’t going to turn the greatest fitness model in the world away. She really is remarkably awesome.

Did you notice she was wearing glasses in the first picture and I was wearing them in the second?

My summer Pool Party was sponsored by The MGM Grand and The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. It was a crazy time with lots of craziness.

Below are a couple from my Oxygen shoot with Maggie D. She’s a whole lot of woman – Wowzers. I have some more good candid shots of Maggie from before my cell. I’ll have to go digging through the archives to find them – They’ll be worth it, that’s for sure. Here is some of our history.
Maggie D is a lot more taller than Paul Buceta
…and I’m not saying I’m short.

While shooting Rachel Davis for some Oxygen training routines I joked that she doesn’t use her thumbs for lifting weight. We all thought it was pretty fun. I then proceeded to explain the benefits of opposing thumbs.

I was shooting a dinner party spread for one of Tosca Reno’s Eat Clean series of books. I’m proud to be part of this ‘eating clean’ movement. I think society really needs to hop on this bandwagon.
