Earlier this fall I was hired to photograph artists living in their 80's and 90's. I traveled to LA, Memphis, Chicago, and Atlanta. I just got the calendars for 2014. Pictured here is Perry Wolf with only 6 of his 15 Emmy Awards for being a documentary film/TV director and screenwriter. It was so much fun to travel and spend time with these "old" artists.

One of the portraits I took of documentary film maker Ken Burns this past Friday. He is possibly one of America's most famous and important documentary film makers.

Here are a few more portraits from my photo shoot with Variety a few weeks ago: Jennifer Hudson and Amy Poheler!

Recent portraits I took of Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, and Elizabeth Banks.

Here is my portrait I took of Oscar winning actress Nicole Kidman!

Here is one edited photo from my photo shoot for Variety Magazine this past Friday in Beverly Hills of Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Amy Poehler, Kerry Washington, Jennifer Hudson, Elizabeth Banks, and Amy Pascual.

Pretty cool! Just saw this online:

Louie Zamperini is in my WWII book and I took his portrait. Angelina Jolee and the Cohen brothers are making a movie on his story from the Lauren Hillenbrand book "Unbroken."

Alright, here is the behind the scenes film footage from my POWER OF WOMEN photo shoot for Variety Magazine this past Friday in Beverly Hills of Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Amy Poehler, Kerry Washington, Jennifer Hudson, Elizabeth Banks, and Amy Pascual. I still need to edit the individual photos. More to come!

The ad campaign I shot for SJSU this summer is finally printed and on display. The portraits reflect the impact of $208,000,000 raised by SJSU supporters. Most people have to pay off their college loans as soon as they get out of school and Travis Lopez (pictured here) created a scholarship fund as a senior in his under grad schooling. Incredibly smart guy and runs a start up.

Zach Lewis pictured here builds urban gardens for communities and also harvests fruits and vegetables from people's home and donates the food to homeless shelters. The funding for Zach to run Garden to Table is funded by Silicon Valley businesses.

Got this email today from "Flashes of Hope." My wife and I volunteered a few years ago at UCLA Hospital to photograph kids with cancer and their family members together. Such an eye opening experience and some of the kids did end up passing away I later found out. If there are any photographers out there that want to volunteer their time, check out the http://www.flashesofhope.org/ website. It is incredibly rewarding and helps put your life into perspective.

Editing photos of veterans today for a client (it is the best to combine passion with work). Here is a preview of a WWII veteran... One thing I have really learned from photographing so many elderly individuals is that people love seeing the contrast of age from young to old. Off to the Adobe headquarters for a photo shoot.
