Southern California Wildfires

Just got back last night from shooting more content for Caterpillar and CORE with the clean-up from the devastating fires in the SOCAL area!  It’s incredibly surreal to see all the destruction that has occurred from these fires. There’s a lot of great work being done to get the clean-up going, and then the rebuilding can get started, but it’s going to be years!

Another year in the books!

It’s the start of year 35 as a self-employed still photographer and videographer. Can you believe it? Time flies! I started this journey back in April 1990 when I decided to share my passion for photography and help others with their needs.

Over the past 35 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with so many amazing clients. I’m incredibly grateful for their trust and support. I could have retired financially nine years ago, but my passion for photography keeps me going. I have so many great people to work with, and I don’t want to stop now!

Here’s one of the first photos I took back in April 1990. It was a story about equipment security for Caterpillar and it’s still as relevant today as it was 35 years ago!

I want to thank all those who have worked with me over the past 35 years. I have the same passion and desire to keep creating and sharing my work as long as it brings joy and helps others. Thanks again, and I can’t wait to continue this incredible journey!
