My getaway.

My trip to Morton was a pretty good experience in selling the experience! Jed and Vicki were very kind to answer all questions that a photographer could ask. We had two days of learning more about the business the work flow techniques that they use in daily business from beginning to end! I enjoyed meeting other photographers and talking with them about their businesses and got tips for growth. I really think Morton is a pretty neat little town full of friendly people I felt welcomed when I arrived when I went to Vgallery I was so impressed with all of the fine photographs that I was surrounded by and photographs of vicki's travels. I thought Id post a few from the workshop and from the Chicago visit. I actually managed to grab a few good ones of my mom and I also photographed Nadia McCall a very petite young lady who's currently auditioning for Next Top Model I photographed Nadia last year during my visit to Chicago.

Vgallery here i come

I will soon be attending Vgallery's (www.vgallery.net) selling the experience workshop! Its going to be a blast Jed and his wife Vicki Taufer have been in the photography business for about ten years Im so blessed to be able to attend this event, afterwards I will head to Chicago to spend a few days visiting my mom and shooting! I have a session pending in Chicago. Here's a recent photo of a friend I just met, part owner of the new ziggie's cafe here in bluff its a great place to eat the food is really good and they have excellent service. My favorite happens to be the house pasta, you need to try it when you visit!! The also serve breakfast all day! well Tony Balazi and I hung out one evening I was curious to learn about his Albanian culture and how they live. I grabbed a shot of him prepping for a session. Enjoy

Kenny Rowland

What a cool father and son shoot, Kenny Rowland and his son braved the windy weather for me to grab some great photographs of them over the weekend. Its strange I went to school with Kenny's older brothers and during the shoot I had to catch myself I was constantly calling him his older names such as Rob, And David! He's running for the local School Board so when you see him good luck!

Wine Rack

One of the most hippest spots in PB to visit is the wine rack serving fine wines and great food! I stopped in for a night cap and had my camera with me and decided to shoot a few images of the interior and good food! If you ever get a gathering and you have no where else to hang out go by and check em out!

Jesse Hollins Sr.

Jesse Hollins is a very interesting fella and has alot to talk about Im hoping to get him interviewed by one of my reporters at the job in honor for black history month he's walking history book when it comes to the south. I found him to be a great subject to photograph I was at his daughters house during the ice storm and decided to shoot a few images of him here's one of the best. And not to forget one of the worst times for all in Missouri and Ark and Kentucky,

Birthday Party

Saturday night was a special night for Francisco's brother Goyo he celebrated his birthday with a nice family gathering and great food! at Las Margarita's I felt special to have been invited by the Esquivel family I thought I'd tag along with my camera and grab a few shots. Well I should be running full strength soon hopefully and booking for spring/summer so look out!! Heres a few from the night

lost

Sorry I haven't been up to posting much, I'm trying to recover from a recent lost, Unfortunately I experienced a break in at my home/studio, the thieves has taken all of my computers and external hard drive, with jewelry and clothing. No they did not take the camera which is good but I have to start over with the entire process of rebuilding filing claims etc. Just please pray that I can make a speedy recovery, and to all those clients my great photographs are gone I'm actually posting from work and I had a few photos here so here are a few older and new but not forgotten photos.
