Aggroman

Back in the day, in the late 80's - early 90's, I produced BMX videos. It was during a time when extreme sports were not on TV and magazines were the only place that riders could see and learn tricks. Since my videos were some of the only BMX videos on the market, and since my videos had guys like Mat Hoffman and Dave Mirra in them, they sold very well. Fast forward, 2007. A few times a month I get e-mails from people asking about the availablility of these old classics. Well, they're back. For a limited time, you can get a dvd with these three videos on it: Aggroman. Ride On. Matt Hoffman: HeadFirst. Be warned, this is some of my earliest work, the production quality is horrible. Aside from that, these videos have become cult classics and they have alot of great riding, even by today's standards. Most of today's top Pro's grew up watching these videos, and guys like Mat Hoffman, Dave Mirra and Dennis McCoy still consider these some of the best BMX videos ever made.

Daddy's Girl

Here's a photo I took a few years back. I came across it this morning and just had to post it. Why not???!!!

Kory and Carey

Kory and Carey McGranahan were married at the El Adobe restaurant in San Juan Capistrano on May 11th. El Adobe has a sweet little outdoor area that can seat a couple hundred people. Down the street is the San Juan Capistrano Mission, an absolutely beautiful place for photos. The Mission charges $50/hour for you to take pictures on the grounds, and it is totally worth it. If you are getting married anywhere near the Mission, consider taking pictures there before or after your ceremony, it's rad. Can I still use that 80's word? No? Ok, it is very, very wonderful. The McGranahan wedding went very smoothly and a great time was had by all, thanks to the team of wedding coordinators at Events By Jessica.

Natalia and Yop

Yop and Natalia Jun were married on April 14th in Irvine. Natalia's dress was perfect, I was very impressed with the design. It was made by Kathleen's Dressmaking, you can reach Kathy at (714)447-1719. Y & N had unlimited time with me on their wedding day, so we were able to get lots of great photos at a nearby lake. I really like the bench photo, and the ring shot is always a favorite as well. I like taking pictures!!!!!!

Damian and Sadie

Damian and Sadie were married at the Mission Inn in Riveside, CA. The Mission Inn is one of my favorite places to shoot. It has so many different places to take pictures, and each area has a different look.

Guest Book

Here's something that is becoming wildly popular, an engagement photo album/guest book.

1. Your engagement photos are set and bound in an elegant little album.
2. Your album is designed with space for your guests to write notes.
3. Your album is placed on a table at the reception, along with an acid-free pen.
4. By the end of the reception, you have a very cool book of memories.

How cool is that? I wish I had one at my wedding. It's a guest book you'll actually look at twenty years from now. If you'd like more information please contact us.

Sudan

I took this photo in Khartoum, Sudan in 2004. I was documenting a historic "good will" soccer match between the Sudanese national team and a team made up of Christian pro players from around the world. The games went great, no riots, and all the players had fun. This woman's face captivated me, so I asked her if it was ok for me to take her portrait. The scars on her face indicate what tribe she is in, and I would say her eyes indicate she's had an amazing life. Please click on the photo to enlarge it.

Bailey's Palomar Resort

Our family recently discovered a sweet little weekend getaway not too far from home. Log cabins, beautiful countryside and rope swings make Bailey's Palomar Resort a welcome retreat from city life. If you are looking for a unique wedding venue, you need to check this place out. Visit their website:
Bailey's Resort.



Yes, that's me. Sometimes you just gotta look a rope swing in the eyes and say, "Why not!"

Colorize

I'm working on Rizzi and Qube's album, and they've asked me to do the ol' "color in black and white" trick. Here's a sample, just in case you were wondering if I can do this effect. Actually Carri, my wife did it, but I taught her. Does that count?

Happy Birthday!

Daniel is three!!!!!! I guess I can't call him my baby anymore. No, that won't stop me, he's still my baby.
