A pair of Twins

On our jaunt to the West coast we shot two adopted Ethiopian twins.   Here's a few from my cameras.... 

Aaron & Morgan Engagement

With the surf season well upon us, as its almost December already, I get to dash between totally different types of shooting these cooler days.  Last Sat. Steph and I shot a good friend of mine and his fiance.  The beach was kinda a bust with super windy conditions but we made do, by going through the park and a few other spots.

Matt Oberman

Jensen Callaway

Cheyne Cottrell

The swell was still in the water and so was the push to get some shots.  Matt and I have been about 0 for 10 and it was about time we got two solid days of shooting in.  Headed up with Cheyene mid-morning with the call being Jupiter area.  All the boys were there, packed together, taking off one after another.  Not nearly as good as the day before but still good conditions to shoot in.

Last week a few of the stars aligned and South Florida actually got good.  I headed up to search with Wes and Matt, meeting up with rest of the state of south fl to find some prestine conditions to shoot in.  I really wanted to shoot water but the currents just weren't right.  Two sessions throughout the day provided for some great shots not to mention shooting some of the best in Florida.  Here are a bunch and please no stealing the images with out contacting me first.  Thanks!

Cold Front day 1 Nov 08

This week South Florida had an arctic blast from the north sweep through the state to remind everyone how nice it is to always have nice weather year around.  Naturally the waves followed.  Here are a few I captured from a fairly unsuccessful morning hunt...

2008 Jupiter Fall Classic Pro-Am

Puerto Rico's Hector Santa Maria

In the un-lucky event that the 2 months of straight swell dying the day of the contest this weekend, I cant imagine the organizers were very pleased.  They ended up running the Longboard and womens on day one with shin high waves.  Day two, a cold front had passed and the event was spared to be just barely rideable for the Pro and Jr Pro.  I still was a bit under the weather and was blowing out odd looking things from my nose, so I left before the Pro event ended.  South Fl boys were doing well, although it was still only thigh high!

Space shuttle endeavor blasts off...from Boca Raton

As I was originally suppose to shoot the shuttle from Cape Canaveral, I got really sick on thurs and ended up not going last night.  Instead I mounted my 1ds mark2 with my 300 and 1.4ext and go this image of the shuttle blasting off...

shot at: 420mm, F4, 1/160, iso 1000

Grom evening sesh in Boca Raton, FL

Phone started ringing around 2pm to shoot some groms.  The sun poked through the clouds here and there to allow a few shots.  Brian Noel, Korak and Tommy were boosting some in the typical South Florida power chop.  Brian is about to head off to Hawaii next week, which is just not fair.  Heres a few from yesterday at Palmetto.  All shot with a Canon 1d Mark2, Canon 300 2.8L IS and 1.4x extender.  Tried a few speed blurs as the sun went down....

Secondhand Serenade and Cute is what we aim for.......

Last Tuesday I was assigned to shoot Secondhand Serenade and Cute is what we aim for at Revolution Night club in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  They were a couple good shows and were being drooled on by screaming teenage girls....you can see the published images here.   Heres a few I shot for Sun-Sentinel/metromix.com...

Ruben & Merediths engagement shoot

My best friend Ruben is about to get married in December and I was asked to shoot their engagement pictures.  We traveled around north Palm Beach county  and shot in many locations along with my wonderful Stephanie to help out.  Ruben and Meredith did great!
