What does it all mean...

Sitting here eating food at a restaurant and doing some computer work. People behind me are talking loudly about the one girls dad having cancer. Just made me think about how short life is and about my mom and brother who died of cancer. I am a mix of emotions at the moment..thoughts flooding. Makes me sad...been missing my mom alot lately. Had a dream about her and all she did was hug me..I cried and just told her I was so tired. I felt better.


I applied to be a still photographer on the AVENGERS movie that's filming in August. Anyone that is into superheroes knows this movie will be huge...hoping I get to be a part of it. Robert Downey Jr. that plays Tony Stark/IRON MAN has been on my dream list to photograph.


Shot for a small MAXIM/PLAYBOY type magazine about a month ago. Got the cover. (see above)


Also have some of my fashion work in a modeling industry magazine magazine. Models were Amy Hixson of Vision (los Angeles) and Marilyn (NYC) and Miles Miller of MTM and can't think of his other agency.


I have to go, having a meeting with another photographer.

When it rains..





Lately when it rains I feel a calmness come over me. I close my eyes and I breathe. It's raining right now as I sit in a Tim Horton's. A steady rain that I much needed in my day. I feel a bit exhausted lately both mentally and physically.



As you may have noticed the space between my last post and this one. Well, I've been busy shooting a lot and as I mentioned, very exhausted.



My shoots have been great though. Models have really been stepping up to the model plate and helping me create some magic. I mean really solid stuff..I will be posting stuff soon to my site and Facebook.



I just realized that the rain has played a part in almost every shoot I've done since the beginning of May. It has rained almost every shoot except for one..yes I shoot in the rain. The colors are so enhanced and the mood...hmmmm. Sorry, just thinking about my last shoot. Looked like a rainforest vibe and was shooting bikini stuff.




I am in thought...I am in a nyc state of mind...I need to go back there soon.



Speaking of NYC, just had one of my models I love to shoot sign with BMG in NYC. Very proud of her as I am all that I work with.




Almost forgot, I had one of my photos approved for the VOGUE Italia website. It was this photo of Amber that I posted above. Very proud of her as well...she has been my muse and friend.





I've also been shooting more video and when I get some time you will be seeing one featuring Amber.





OK, I'm getting tired and I need to head home early for once and rest.


One last note, my sister is fine. There luckily was no blockage..whatever they thought was there was nothing.
