The first time . . .

I scanned some negatives yesterday from one of the very first rolls of film that I ever shot.

My photos back then were made of passion and inspiration combined with a total lack of technical knowledge . . . and, actually, it worked better that way.

Here is Paulina Rudklint from Sweden photographed in Milan.

Now I Wanna Be Your Dog . . .

Yesterday's photo shoot, where Minnie climbed into the frame with the model, adds a new dimension of meaning to the old Iggy and The Stooges song.

Lifetime Acheivement . . .

Here is the video clip that I put together for this past weekend's IFBB Tampa Pro show. They played it on the jumbo TV above the stage right before presenting Chris Dickerson with the Ben Weider Lifetime Achievement Award.

Match Up . . .

Yesterday’s photo shoot was a successful attempt to create some good pictures for a profile on Match.com . . .

Why so many people spend so much energy on those sites but choose to post awful photos has always been a mystery to me.

We fixed that problem yesterday for one soon to be “happy camper”

Camera to the gym . . .

I brought my snapshot camera to the gym today.
