Returning to Oaxaca
In 2005 and 2006 I lived in Oaxaca. Now I am returning to discover afresh this wonderful place and reconnect with my many friends here.
Visions from a Perfected City
This year I enjoyed working alongside an active team to put together the very successful Habor Art Show: Visions from a Perfected City. We had over 30 entries from more than 20 artists and the event itself was packed all evening. I can’t wait for the next one.

Disfrutando Tijuana
I had the privilege of staying a week in Tijuana and getting to know some of the beautiful people that live there.
Scott Chandler and family wins surf dog competition
Dog lovers of all sizes turned out for Lowe’s fourth annual surf dog competition in Imperial Beach, San Diego. There were three categories: small dogs, large dogs, and tandem dog and humans surfing together. It really was a great event to shoot. Scott Chandler along with daughter, step daughter, and Zoey the surf dog, took first place in the tandem category and really made the event worth watching.
First Place at the ASMP Shootout!
I love competing in shootouts! Last night was the annual ASMP shootout. This year the shootout was at the San Diego Fair. They gave all the participants two objects (sunglasses and a lei) and we had two hours to create the most interesting shots we could. I love the pressure to be creative within such a short time, walking the fairgrounds to find interesting things, trying to do something unique and artistic with sunglasses and a lei. I was invited to ride the swings, made friends to help me with my task, and I ended up winning first place. Thanks ASMP for another great shootout.
Games are a huge part of any fair. These ducks roam around a pool of water waiting for people to toss rings around their necks.
Dancing in the City
I had the privilege of taking a ballet class this past semester at City College along side some really amazing dancers like my friend Ashley. She’s been dancing for 16 years and she’s amazing. She agreed to let me shoot her and this is what we came up with. And a special thanks to the extras who happened upon our shoot and joined in.
Surfing Family
Scott Chandler is a surfer, but he decided that surfing was more fun if he could share it with his family. He not only got his ten year old daughter Tyler Chandler to surf tandem with him, he also taught the family dog, Zoey. Last year they won the surf dog competition in Coronado. And now they are training Baby, the chihuahua, as well. These guys were so much fun to shoot.

It’s all about personality
You couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day with perfect lighting in San Diego. Mike, Mindy and I had a blast exploring Del Mar and taking photographs. I love capturing people’s personalities.
The Veritas Forum at Caltech
I had the priviledge of photographing The Veritas Forum at Caltech University in Pasadena. Francis Collins was the speaker and he addressed the packed auditorium of at least 1200 people on the language of God. It was a very interesting conference and even though it was raining I managed to get some amazing shots. Caltech has a very beautiful campus.
