How Many Times... / San Diego Lifestyle Photographer
How many times have you just wanted to go to the beach but found out the high tide was too high? Then you realized the sand that used to be there is no longer there due to the recent big swell...My little one made the best of things and danced...
Thunder & Lightning / Encinitas Photographer
The family awoke to a big boom and crackling lightning this morning. What came next was an incredible display of clouds in such dramatic form. So I grabbed my camera and captured a moment in the eastern sky...
First Day of Soccer Practice...
Today was my little one's first day of soccer practice. She has been waiting for this since she was three...now she is three days shy of six.
I am so proud of her...

This was a photograph made for Project 52. Still Life with a Flower...
Parameters are:
- It should not require more than 20″ x 20″ of set space.
- The objects should be simple and NOT shiny. (Please no chrome or glossy black.)
- The objects should be something you can find around the house, or office, or neighborhood.
- There should be at least 5 items in the shot.
Special Note:
The still life must include a flower. Fake or real. The flower does not have to be the main focus of the shot, and I do NOT WANT a bunch of flowers to be the shot. In other words, the client wants a flower for a reason, we add it into the mix of other items. It may or may not be the focus of your shot… that is up to you, but the image MUST contain a flower.
The book was written in 1886: The Complete Home, by Mrs. Julia Wright, the glasses are my wife's from the early 1970's, the pocket watch was made in 1925, the bronzed baby shoe is my wife's grandfathers and the spoons...they are just old.
How did I light it? Diffused window light coming from the right with a flag to keep the background dark and a flag in the very front. White card on the right angled just enough to create a small highlight in the upper left of the spoon on the far right and also to bring out the detail of the side of the book's pages.
