Here’s a peek at some of the images from my recent vintage pin-up shoot with my daughter as model. Melanie did amazing work with her own wardrobe, hair and make-up. Dustin from JuJu Foto Factory in Austin did a great job with the studio lighting.
Today is the annual celebration of Día de los Muertos in Mexico. I’m sad that I’m not there to take part in and document the festivities this year. Instead, I’d like to pay homage to this unique cultural event though images I’ve shot during Day of the Dead during my travels in Mexico over the years.
Dedicated to my brother, Tommy and my mother-in-law, Bettye.
The cemeteries of Paris are filled with beautiful monuments and an impressive number of very famous artists, writers and musicians. Here’s a teaser from my visit to Cimitiere de Montmartre which is just a short walk from my apartment in Montmartre.
I’ve had the pleasure of traveling to Tuscany and spending time in and around Cortona. Despite visting Tuscany three times, there is something that draws me back and I can’t wait to return. Here’s a series of Tuscan landscapes from my “Romance” series.
Many thanks to Tania and Keith from Casa bel Posto for being such great hosts and tour guides!
Earlier this summer, I flew to my hometown in Alberta, Canada and had the pleasure of photographing Katherine’s bridal images. What was remarkable about this shoot was that she proved that Canadian girls are incredibly resilient. Katherine powered through this session despite getting eaten alive by some of the biggest swarms of mosquitos that I’ve seen in years. She had absolutely no complaints while we posed her, shot quickly and then quickly covered her with a blanket in between takes. Such grace under trying conditions!
Katherine and Kevin were married this past weekend and I wish them many years of happiness!
In late June, I was in Canada visiting family and photographed Jonathan and Michelle’s wedding in Calgary. I don’t photograph weddings very often, but will on request from family and friends who know and love my style and approach. Here’s a few images from the wedding.
Today is Canada’s 144th birthday. In honor of my birthplace, I’m posting a series of images from Canada that I’ve photographed since moving to Texas nearly 15 years ago. Sometimes you don’t notice the beauty of your surroundings until you return after a long absence. With every trip back home to Canada, I rediscover the beauty of my home country.
Driving through parts of West San Antonio, Texas was like being back in Mexico. This area of the city was rich and alive with history, art and food at the heart of San Antonio’s Mexican American community. West SA is definitely a must-see for lovers of colorful murals. Here’s a selection of digital infrared images from that drive.
Being a heavily Catholic country, Easter celebrations in Mexico are an amazing event to witness. Here’s some images from the Good Friday events in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
