Puppy Studio

2010-03-27T23:37:00.002-04:00

Rob & I went to Laura's house to shoot some ringflash portraits. When we got there, Laddie was teaching the pups how to play. It was so cute!

Me & the girls.

One big happy family.

Rob had puppies crawling all over him. He's so lucky!

The girls ... so sweet!

3-Weeks-Old

2010-03-25T23:44:00.003-04:00

I've been visiting Rosie, Laddie & the puppies almost every day ... at lunch or after work.

BFFs with enough pups to go around.

Ilona fell in love!

Eskimo kissing.

Adorable!

Rob & Anna

Laddie loves me!

Evanne had a blast with the puppies.

She might be mine!

Valerie's Bat-Mitzvah Weekend

2010-03-21T19:12:00.077-04:00

It was a busy weekend in NY/NJ. I flew up Friday morning ... intimate dinner for 48 Friday night ... Valerie's Bat-Mitzvah service Saturday am, followed by lunch, a hike with 19 relatives & a great party for 250 Saturday night ... then a family brunch at Wendy & Andy's on Sunday.

It was a beautiful day for a hike on Patriots Path in NJ.

Nice reflection.

Mom & me

19 hikers ... only one injury. I broke my hand when I tripped over a rock. UGH!

This sign was in the parking lot at the Westin. I flipped it over to show how I landed when I broke my hand.

I gotta feeling ... that tonight's gonna be a good night ... that tonight's gonna be a good night ... that tonight's gonna be a good, good night!

The MC was so awesome!

The BEST dessert EVER!

Puppy Lunchtime

2010-03-16T21:43:00.017-04:00

Since the pups live so close to my office, I've been visiting them every day at lunchtime. I think I want all 4 of them!

Yesterday John got to meet them. I think he wants one & is just trying to figure out how to break the news to Sherry.

Laddie needs some attention too! At least Rosie doesn't growl at him anymore when he gets close to the puppies.

Today Chris got to meet the whole family. I couldn't believe he hadn't met Rosie & Laddie before. I think he wants one but Shelby might think it's a squeaky toy.

Anna's Birthday

2010-03-14T22:23:00.030-04:00

We went to visit Rosie & Laddie's pups after returning my rental car.

They're sooo adorable, but still haven't opened their eyes. How cute is that little tongue?!?

Rob got to meet the pups for the first time.

They're very sleepy!

After the pup visit, Rob & I rushed over to TacoLu to celebrate Anna's birthday with Tyler, Matt, Ilona, Rick & Nancy.

The birthday girl with Matt & Tyler.

We couldn't believe Ilona was coming on to this other guy, even though Matt was at the table!

No caption necessary!

The birthday girl with Rick & Nancy.

The party continued late into the evening with birthday cake, Desperate Housewives & a nap.

Last Day at WGC-CA Championship

2010-03-11T21:50:00.016-05:00

I never get tired of shooting flags.

Club Blue

2010-03-10T22:28:00.046-05:00

There was a party tonight at Club Blue at Doral celebrating Patty C's 30 years with the TOUR.

The lighting kept changing & I was mesmerized by the way it reflected in these glasses. I could have shot these all night long!

Working Birthday

2010-03-09T23:51:00.000-05:00

Twelve hours of headshots followed by a beautiful sunset.

We were so full after birthday dinner at Texas de Brazil Churrascaria.

Monday at Doral

2010-03-08T22:25:00.084-05:00

I usually keep myself amused shooting miscellaneous stuff between headshots. I was extremely troubled by the lack of symmetry in this tray of desserts!

Mmmmm! Fresh homemade potato chips.

Doral Bound

2010-03-07T21:53:00.032-05:00

Long drive today from PVB to south Florida for the World Golf Championships-CA Championship. I checked into my lodge at Doral Golf Resort & Spa then set up my headshot studio near player registration.

A mama cat & her 5 little kittens were living in the bushes outside my lodge. Shot on my iPhone with all post-processing done in-phone using a combo of Photoshop Mobile & Best Camera.

Sleepyheads!

2010-03-04T20:53:00.010-05:00

Rosie let me watch her puppies while she took a much needed break. So cute!

Puppies!!!

2010-03-03T20:55:00.008-05:00

Rosie & Laddie had 4 puppies today!!! We didn't think she was due for another week. I wonder which one is gonna be mine?

I went to visit right after work. Rosie got up & gave me a big greeting.

She was so happy to see me & wanted me to meet her itty bitty pups.

The proud papa checks on his new family.

The 3 Amigos

2010-02-27T22:43:00.002-05:00

Anna & I took Laddie, Hank & Luke to run in the forest.

Everybody waits while Laddie takes a water break.

Gimme the ball! Gimme the ball!

Guess which one of us didn't jump in the swamp!

After a dip in the mud ... UGH! They were really stinky!

After Work Playtime

2010-02-23T21:15:00.012-05:00

After work I went to pick up the pups so they could meet John. Laddie gave him lots of kisses.
Both Rosie & Laddie loved going to the office.

They even decided to take Evanne for a walk around the parking lot.

Waffles? Sushi?

2010-02-21T22:30:00.015-05:00

Ilona, Matt, Mousa & Enid came over for waffles.

Ilona made a sushi waffle. It's a giant spicy tuna roll.

Luke protects his property from our problem goose.

He's so handsome in his new bandana!

I'm convinced our goose is really a confused rooster. She keeps the whole neighborhood up at night.

New Sofas ...

2010-02-14T22:37:00.002-05:00

... just waiting on the new rug ... then maybe interior paint & a new puppy in a few months. I must be nuts!

Super Bowl Sunday Waffles

2010-02-07T22:26:00.004-05:00

My friend Bill found this photo online. Hahaha!

I made a football.

Anna & Tyler.

Anna made a Colts horseshoe & Joel made a football.

Joel hard at work.

Nelson made a Puerto Rican flag with the initials of Lunch Plans? (since we had 3 band members at breakfast), while Gabi made a girl wearing a skirt, holding an umbrella.

You'd never know it, but Nelson & Gabi (& Joel) were waffle virgins ... before today.

PGA TOUR Official Annual 2010

2010-02-04T17:23:00.011-05:00

Today I got to see the new annual that ran a profile on me ...

... Chris & Stan

Chick-fil-A Insanity

2010-02-03T23:24:00.012-05:00

Tomorrow at 6am is the grand opening of a new Chick-fil-A in PVB. There were over 200 people there 48 hours in advance. The first hundred people in line get a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A Meals. Apparently this is a normal thing where people pitch tents, camp out & turn the parking lot & into an all-night tailgate party. There's a DJ, dancing, lots of games & wifi. They feed the people in line & let them use the bathroom. It was quite a scene!

House & Hank

2010-02-01T22:08:00.006-05:00

I LOVE the TV show House.

Tonight's episode was about a football player with a heart condition. They compared his symptoms & case to Hank Gathers. I shot Hank for Sports Illustrated in 1989, a few months before he dropped dead on court during a game. It was weird to think that he could have just as easily died while I had him jumping on a trampoline in the studio.

Last Day of Camping

2010-01-31T18:28:00.006-05:00

It was like being on a mini road trip. There were pix everywhere!

I could shoot this wall all day long. Love it!

Mary & Rosie after a morning hike.

Rosie & me ... way down upon the Suwannee River.

Handsome, ugly & beautiful.

Another great wall!

FL to GA to FL

2010-01-30T22:25:00.009-05:00

Today didn't start off too well. We left PVB & drove to Crooked River State Park in St Mary's, Georgia, to rent a cabin for the weekend. After an encounter with a useless volunteer, we had enough of Georgia & headed back to Florida.

Luckily Mary found a spot to rent a cabin that was only 90 minutes from JAX ... Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park. An interesting park with a lot to do, but first we wanted to learn a little about Stephen Foster. Known as the "father of American music," he was the pre-eminent songwriter of the 19th century. He wrote hundreds of famous songs from Way Down Upon the Suwannee River to Camptown Races, Oh! Suzanna & My Old Kentucky Home. He died in 1864 (13 years before sound recording was invented) at 37 years old with 38 cents in his pocket.

We rented a great cabin with a huge wrap around screened deck.

Corrugated steel with rust, paint & nice light.

Two of my favorite things ... rust ...

... and peeling paint.

It looks like JS was here with some graffiti paint.

Lots of turkey vultures!

Nice shadow!

Mmmmm ... s'mores!

Pizza Party!

2010-01-29T18:10:00.013-05:00

Yum! Gourmet pizza party at Anna & Tyler's place.

Ty made the fresh pizza dough. The toppings included caramelized organic Georgia sweet onions, oven roasted red peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, Dutch butter browned baby portobello mushrooms, slow roasted organic elephant garlic, buffalo mozzarella, havarti, French gruyere, a blend of parmesan, asiago, mozzarella and fontina, garlic infused olive oil, white truffle oil & Dei Frattelli pizza sauce.

Mary & Rosie try to toss their dough without being distracted by Anna.

Anna & Tyler made a fabulous salad ... organic arugula topped with chipotle dusted fried artichoke hearts & shaved curls of Parmigiano-Reggiano in a homemade Dijon country French vinegrette.

Matt & Ilona knead their dough.

My pizza in the oven.

The pizzas were all different, but delicious.

Me, Mary & Rosie.

After dinner we took Hank over to Luke's house for a romp. Anna always tortures Matt when he falls asleep. Sometimes Hank helps her out.

Four-Legged Friends

2010-01-24T17:56:00.014-05:00

Since Rosie was out of town for the day, it was a perfect opportunity to take Mary to meet the pups.

Laddie meets Stella ...

... then had a little fun chasing her on the beach.

Rosie after a dip ...

... & frolicking in the surf.

Later on, the other Rosie got back to PVB in time to catch some football. Touchdown!
