Welcome to Monday. My day has started with retouching the 422 photo’s I took of shoes Friday. I’m completely beat from running the Miami ING 1/2 marathon yesterday and I am booked Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week. Glad that the fashion accessories ecommerce photography business is booming but also have to laugh a bit at the “when it rains it pours” truth in my life. Next week is also scheduling up really full and all I want to do is take a nap! I’m only 307 photo’s away from that nap…. Which basically means I’ll be working through the night. But after the changes that have happened 2012 so far, I’m happy for the work and to be busy is a HUGE relief. Where will Feb bring us? Who knows. But glad that January is ending better than it started. Hope Feb brings everyone happiness and we don’t see another month like January for at least another year. Can I get an amen on that?

These are some of my favorite images taken from my trip to the Havasupai Reservation with my friend Joey in 2011. It’s a journey I highly recommend, 8 miles into part of the Grand Canyon, 3 miles to the Mooney Falls, the “mother of waters”.

Truthiness.

December has been an insane month. Like many of my months this year, it’s one of the things I am grateful for looking back at 2011. Many new clients popped up this year and many old clients took big steps in photography. I am happy to have been able to be a part of such [...]

A few month back I shot Eric Rutbergs new shoe line Transparent for his website. Although it is still in beta I couldn’t resist sharing the preview I was sent. I love the way we decided to photograph his shoes. The layout looks beautiful and so are the designs on the product. Who says an [...]

On Thursday, after I didn’t have time to put one up last week too. So I get an “F” at Wallpapers this month. Maybe your November is too busy also and you haven’t noticed. Or maybe you loved the Sedona, AZ wallpaper so much that you were happy to get it for an extra week. [...]

From The Online Photographers post yesterday, this was too good to not share (thanks to Dana for sending it along to me).

“We have a new winner in the “$12 Million Shark Sweepstakes.” In a smack down of the piker owner of the paltry $3.89 million Cindy Sherman picture that held [...]

I usually try to get these up early in the day but after retouching somewhere around 450 pairs of shoes over the start of the week I became very single tasked. So if you are a blog subscriber, you’ll see this today and if you are more of a come check it out through Facebook [...]
