I’m not a gambler, but I’ve got an allowance and hope to multiply it a million times in Vegas!
Okay, where can a bunch of photographers from all over the world hold the largest photography conference and trade show? Why in Vegas, of course! Again, I don’t usually gamble, but I don’t mind dropping a coin or two into the slot machine with high hopes. And, that’s “high roller” hopes!

NOTE: I’ll be out of the studio/state from March 7-11; so I will not be able to return phone calls and have limited access to my email. But, if you have booking inquiries, please feel free to use the contact form on my EMAIL ME page and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

TRUE STORY
On our first Vegas trip together, I was growing bored sitting around while Romie was playing on the slot machine. I just wanted to hit the club and dance already! So, he gave me a quarter to, well, silence me. Hmph! But, I had the last laugh … With that single quarter — not even belonging to me — I managed to turn it into $88! HOLLA!!! No, not high roller, but 100% profit! *sticks tongue out*

Image(s): I collect magnets from every city I visit. (My fridge is almost completely covered.) Oh, and BTW, please don’t hate on the lack of manicure. It’s on my to-do list!

CANON 5D + 100mm f/2.8 MACRO = MY WINDOW TO ANOTHER WORLD
One lens. That’s all it took. I was without a telephoto lens so zooming was not an easy option. Instead, I got closer to my subjects — as close as they would allow me (the stranger), of course. But, I [...]

I AM NO WRITER, BUT I WRITE.
There are others who are way better at writing than me. But, that’s okay because I don’t want to be better than them. I just want to be better than me. You see, I used to spend day and night, night and day, browsing through [...]

So, despite my job of romancing couples during their engagement session or wedding day, I do not have a romantic bone in my body. Like, none. It’s sad, really, because come my own wedding anniversary I never [...]

LITTLE BITTY STINGIN’ RAIN AND BIG OL’ FAT RAIN … RAIN THAT FLEW IN SIDEWAYS.
And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. Per Forrest, Forrest Gump, that totally depicted the kind of weather I encountered on my very first shoot in Bali. Yes, B-A-L-I. Not Oregon. It just [...]

YES, FEET HAPPY. NO, I DIDN’T GET IT TWISTED.
I like shooting feet. I just do. Albeit, I find my own feet quite unattractive. I have a too-high arch and some really stubby toes; the second one is longer than my big toe. Like, “Shallow Hal”-feet. Thanks for the complex, Mauricio.
Other people’s [...]
