I went to Rochester, NY earlier this month to spend the weekend with an old college buddy. Some of the shots were for his brother who is getting married in October.
57k turntable
A few months back we shot the “world’s best record player” for The Absolute Sound magazine. It is a $57,000.00 390lb black and brass beast called the Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond Mk II made by Walker Audio We didn’t get the hear it though, but I can only imagine…here’s the review for anyone in the market. For the shoot we had to shoot it on location in the editors home, on the third floor, and it could NOT be moved. There was several hundred thousand dollars worth of amps/speakers/cables within inches of this unit. It was a challenge to say the least.
We just shot a slightly less costly turntable last week for the same publication…to be continued…
Laurel Court
We shot the feature well for Cincinnati Wedding Magazine this week at a fantastic house in College Hill called Laurel Court. My assistant Steve turned me onto a fun little app for the iPhone called Hipstamatic.
Equador
I took a trip to Equador back in February to start a long term project, working with Jose Garcia on a spa/hotel in a remote part of the Andes. The hotel is to be called The End of the World Spa. This was the first of several planned trips to document the property, people, food and culture of Achupallas and the surrounding area in the Bolivar region of Equador. The work will eventually be used to create a book, along with marketing and advertising materials. A larger portfolio of images can be viewed HERE.
Too long…
Wow, I have not been on here since Dec 12. Way to long. I have shot and done a lot in the last 3+ months. Once things slow down in the a week or two, I have many images to put up on here and my main sites. Please check back soon. Here is a shot from my trip to Ecuador last month.

Holiday Card
Here is our 2009 Christmas Holiday Card along with the last few years. Isabella is not happy at all with her smile or lack there of in this picture, but it is what it is. I think the design of these cards are getting progressively worse.
Cheer
Shot for a cover story on the best local high schools that appeared in Cincinnati Magazine . We were scheduled to shoot some football players and cheerleaders on a field at dusk. It ended up raining non stop so we moved the shoot indoors. We had brought a pop up tent in case we could shoot outside. After two false starts we were finally able to make it outdoors just as the sun set. There was an amazing mist/fog in the air which felt like 99% humidity. It turned out to be a great shoot.

Ochocinco
We photographed Chad OchoCinco of the Cincinnati Bengals late last year. The book just came out last month and was published by Crown Publishing | a division of Random House. He is making the rounds on his book tour and the cover made it on Letterman. You can buy the book here or here.
ETC 33 Variations
I shoot a lot of work for the Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati – from show posters, pre production photography to set shots for their archives. Brian Mehring, the scenic designer, builds these beautiful sets. I wish we could collaborate for a commercial photoshoot and build something spectacular.
