The wonderful non-profit, “Wish of a Lifetime” sent EIGHTY SEVEN YEAR OLD Elvis Presley fan, Alma Sewell off in style! The non-profit grants the wish of a lifetime to deserving seniors throughout the United States. In this case, Alma was given a trip to visit ‘Graceland‘ in Memphis, a stay at the ‘Heartbreak Hotel‘ and a private tour...
I had another reminder how gigantic California is… I had lived in Santa Barbara for nearly 8 years and never visited Newport Beach until this job! What an AMAZING area!! Here are a few images from the Newport Beach, California area and around the Resort at Pelican Hill (including the beach cottage from the Bette...
In an attempt to capture something a little different, and hopefully a bit artsy, I used a camera that has been converted to capture infrared wavelengths of light (Thanks Lifepixel).

It’s one of those experiences that I CAN’T WAIT to share with anyone and everyone, especially if you ski or snowboard!! The story began in 1939 when a small number of Finnish...
Every single time I drive to the mountains, I make sure there’s at least one John Denver cd in the car player. It’s strange how vividly I can remember seeing the breaking news announcing the plane had crashed in 1997. Born Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr., but known as John Denver, he was taken too early!...
I sure loved the ‘job’ of photographing an incentive trip up in Aspen earlier this month. First of all, an incentive trip is a group of very happy couples that have won the trip for doing a great job for their company last year, so they are all very happy! Second of all, the job...
