Recent shoots BLOG

My wife, Barbara and I travel widely and frequently, with my photos chronicling our trips to various countries (portrait shows us at Monte Alban, in Mexico).  When at home, here in Venice, I shoot portraits and glamour photos in my studio and also move around L.A. shooting events.  With this blog, I share where my lens leads me.  Click on lead image for each trip/event to move through highlight images.
