The latest, what's been happening...

Hi Gang,

Haven't posted in a while, thought it was time for a little update. Hope you're well

Things are going great! Summer is in full swing and it's hot here in Florida. It's quite an adjustment for this guy from California. Hot, and now on top of that, rain. Got up at 4:30AM today to shoot a sunrise, but no sunrise to be had. Cloudy and plenty of rain. Decided to walk the dogs, clean house and hit the gym instead.

Seems as though the Indian River Mall here in Vero Beach, Florida is on the market. I was called on to shoot the property. Thankfully, I didn't have to shoot the entire 736,000 square feet of it. Just the main building, a few store fronts and some of the surrounding properties. To say the least, it was still quite an undertaking. I'd never shot a property so large and it was hard to get my head around. After reading a few articles and making a plan of attack, I went for it. The customer, Bayer Properties was very pleased with the results. I'm hoping that the mall will eventually sell and stay open for business. It's the closest mall in my area. A few of the shots can be seen in my real estate photography gallery. 

A lot of my time recently has been devoted to redesigning my Mom's website. Her old website (still up at the time of this post) is html (which I'm not real familiar with) and Flash (which doesn't work on a lot of devices these days) has been in need of a long overdue update. I'll be launching the updated website mid-August. As of now, I've shot about 60% of the photos on the site, but that number will probably increase a bit. I'm using stock photos as place holders for now, but honestly, they're pretty good, I my keep some of them. Keep a lookout.

Here's to catching some sunrises, sunsets and waves very soon. Best regards. Cheers!

Catalina Visitors Guide 2015

Hey everyone, It's been a while since I've checked in here. I trust that your new year is off to great start. 2015 just started and it seems like it's already flying by.

Before leaving California late last year, I visited one of my favorite places for a photography adventure. Santa Catalina Island, California. Just off the coast of Los Angeles is a great getaway from the big city. I have so many great memories of Catalina over the years.

If you're planning a trip to Catalina this year, be sure to pick up the 2015 Catalina Island Visitors Guide. The Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau included a few of my images in the guide.

The Chamber chose my panorama photo overlooking the city of Avalon for the table of contents and the photo below is also included in the guide. There are a ton of great photos from other terrific photographers and the it's loaded with information for planning your trip.

I'm pretty sure the Guide is free on the island. You can even fill out this form and have it mailed to you at no cost.

Until next time...

California to Florida, the new chapter begins...

After many years of living, working and playing in California, I find myself relocating to Florida. On one hand it's hard to let go of what I know and love, and on the other hand, it's good to say hello to the things I've loved and missed for so many years. I have a great opportunity ahead and I'm going to dive straight in.

Logan, Julia and myself made the 2600 mile drive and what a journey it was. From narrowly escaping floods in Arizona to dealing with hot weather the entire way, we arrived safely here in our new home of Vero Beach, Florida. 

As I begin to settle in, I hope to start capturing the beauty of both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of Florida. It will probably take me some time to find my way, so please be patient.  If you have suggestions on shoots, locations, adventures, have questions or wish to inquire about my services, please drop me an email. I'd love to hear from you. Cheers!
