LA NATIONAL FOREST ON FIRE - 1 of 8 in SOCAL

KELLY B COUTURE SPRING '10

Today was spent in Venice shooting model Ashley Bowers for Kelly B's Spring 2010 line. We used the local scene - the walk streets of Venice, Kelly's back yard and the beach. KellyB is an eco-friendly line that you can find in higher end boutiques. Check out her website, Fall '09 line is about to hit stores (and I also shot that!).

ILLUMINATION FOUNDATION

The Illumination Foundation held it's second annual fundraiser, "Racing for Homeless Families," at the Los Alamitos Race Track in Southern California. The proceeds from the silent and live auction all go towards providing stable housing and services for 75 homeless families and children. A high school senior, who was homeless at one point, also shared his story and the struggles of having no where to go home to.

I was honored to contribute my time to such a worthy cause. Please get invovled! To view more photos from the event please visit: http://www.ifhomeless.org/#page=RaceParty

OAKLEY "LEARN TO RIDE"

Oakley hosted a weekend long workshop in Santa Barbara where celebs had the opportunity to take surf lessons from the pros - the Oakley Surf team, that is!!

The weekend consisted of a welcome dinner, surf boot camp, and an end-of-the-weekend bash under the stars with the Madden brothers DJ'ing.

It was my first opportunity to use a 400mm lens. While another photographer was in the water, actually shooting while surfing, I had a my-size lens on a tripod on the beach. I felt like a sniper, except catching celebs like Adrian Grenier, Mario Lopez and Ashley Greene eating waves for breakfast.
