Why does this matter? Simple….. *never make […]
Mondays and the pain of uncertainty…
I love Mondays. I always have. Go figure…. Except when I drank heavily, since Mondays I was still suffering from a hard weekend of shooting (photos), partying, smoking and drinking. But those days are long gone. Now I love Mondays. I must be doing something right. I feel exhilarated, refreshed and ready to take on […]
The Swiss Army Knife of photography studios….
I always said my photography studio was like a swiss army knife. A “multi-purpose” studio for lack of a better term. Instead of specializing in a major niche, I specialize in many niches.

No goat cheese in my smoothie
I hate waste. I think it’s why I can’t stand buffets. They seem so uncivilized and over-the-top indulgent. I also can’t stand goat cheese in my smoothie. Ugh….gross. Let me explain. I picked up one of those ready to assemble spinach salads for my wife Tina. It had goat cheese because I know she loves […]
