My Granddad, His Book

I was asked by my granddad to shot some portraits of him for a book he is writing about a skirmish he was involved in during WWII on the Pacific front. My granddad can be fairly conservative so I went after safe, Navy Portraits (you know, the desk, the flag). I really wanted to pull of a dramatic photo like
Peter Yang's Esquire magazine shot of Admiral William Fallon, but thats ok. After I set up and he came over to the house, I found out that he wanted full length shots and some with a sword. In fact, he wanted to swing the sword as it relates to some story in the book. Hmm.... wasn't ready for that, but that's OK, I can adapt!!





Here comes the action shots!!! Just look at his eyes in the next few.... WOW!!

A Moving Story...

Not wedding related. Its about 911 and a wonderful photographer, Joe McNally. Joe is Nikon's photographer. He is actually a freelance photog, but he is one of the guys they go to when they produce a new camera. They tell him to do something amazing and do it with this new prototype. Anyway, if you have ever been to New York and seen the huge, life size Polaroids of 911 heros then you will know his work. This read is about him being a New York photographer and his project that created those life size portraits.

St Augustine Wedding

Here are some of my favorite shots from a wedding I shot with Robert McClory of Weddings By Robert. The wedding was at a small church in downtown historic St Augustine and the reception at Casa Monica just down the road.
