I Can't Believe...

Almost an entire month has passed without me doing a new Blog post! So here are a few photos from some shoots to keep things going...

Always In The Gym...

Either working out or like this time, shooting photos...


I am often asked about how I get the different look to my photos. Well in this case, it is by shooting medium format film. This is Tri-X pushed 2 stops on a Mamiya 645AFDII for all you camera guys. The bicep belongs to amateur bodybuilder, Anu McKnight, shot at the Power of Fitness Gym in Palm Springs, California.

“STF” - “Slim, Tone & Fit”

"STF" is a brand new magazine on the stands from the publisher of "Planet Muscle". "The Woman You Want To Be" it says on the cover with Jessica Paxson who is a woman you could want to be. And she is great, I know, I photographed her wedding to Peter Putnam just a couple of years ago.

But it is one big feature inside the magazine I think is very cool. It is seven full pages of training with the 2008 Ms Figure America and my good buddy, Ava Cowan. And even better it is filled with photographs shot by me with Ava right out here by my home in Palm Springs, California at the Power of Fitness Gym.


So you will be seeing Ava’s feature along with my photos in "STF" all next year so keep a watch out for it. And the current issue is on the newsstands but I think it is almost close to being sold out. But look for it and let me know what you think!

Just me at work shooting photos...

That's me holding the camera standing behind amateur bodybuilder Sean Jones. In the gym is where you can usually find me. And by the way, I can out-lift Sean :)

Tossing Some Weight Around... A Lot Of Weight!

At the 2008 IPF Masters World Powerlifting Championships over the last week (see my post below) I had a chance to see 42 year old Brad Gillingham set a new world record for this federation. This was 395 kilograms which is about 871 pounds. Not a bad lift for a kid…




He is a big kid though, 6-5 and 331 pounds. And you might notice that he doesn’t use a reverse grip, both hands are overhand which makes it really hard to hold on to that bar..

Mamiya Selects.... ME!

For over 50 years, Mamiya has been among the best for professional cameras and lenses. And Mamiya has been my choice for much of my work in both film and digital formats. Indeed whenever I have the chance, it is my Mamiya that is first out of my bag when I need the best images and the most reliable camera system to get it for me.

Now Mamiya has started a Blog "Celebrating Mamiya Photographers Around The World" and I am very proud to be one of the two first photographers to be featured.

So check out the Mamiya website and click on the Blog. And in the future you might be seeing and hearing more from me there too.

Heavy Lifting!

A change of pace for me, photographing Powerlifting. This is the 2008 IPF Masters World Powerlifting Championships. It is called the "World" Championships because it brought in 273 athletes from 32 countries around the world.


This is what warming up looks like...



This competition goes on for 5 days so I will be shooting more. Watch for some really big guys and some interesting people.
