Hard to decide which was more incredible, the events to photograph on this job, or the people watching on Rodeo Drive. There is no place like 90210! Our home base (and night two festivities) were in the Beverly Wilshire, a spectacular Four Seasons hotel on the corner of Rodeo and Wilshire in the heart of...
The National Historic Landmark, the Del, opened in 1888 and has had a lengthy list of accomplishments ever since. From hosting dignitaries to setting the scene of movies, commercials, and t.v. shows, it is an iconic beachfront resort outside of San Diego, California that sure makes for a wonderful place for an event! One of...
For spectators, there’s no question the Waste Management Phoenix Open at TPC Scottdale in Arizona is the most entertaining golf tournament in the world. Specifically, the stadium built around hole 16 with suites, screaming fans, cheering, booing and even some PGA golfers egging on the crowd! The Wednesday before the ‘official’ tournament begins is the...
One of the best perks of my job is to travel the world photographing the neatest destinations! This one surprised me though.

The photos were even featured on the front page of the Denver Post: After the Mayor announced the Colorado holiday, President...

The island used to be entirely covered by the world’s largest pineapple plantation (Dole phased out in the 1990’s). Now, nearly the entire island...
By this time in 2021, most of us know firsthand the difference between an in-person meeting and a zoom call…but thought I’d try and show how much goes behind the scenes to make a successful virtual event. It’s been easy to log on (possibly in pj’s) and watch a virtual concert or event from home,...
This was such a wonderful experience! I was hired to take photos of a couple of amateur golfers who were able to play in the 2020 Annexus Pro-Am at the Waste Management Phoenix Open! I had never been to the event but had definitely heard about the incredible 16th. Stadium seating was built around the...
