Press Check Genie Scientific

Chris Joyal (producer, very talented designer) and I just completed the final press check on Genie Scientific's new marketing piece. Genie produces high end metal casework for labs all over the country. Genie is considered to be the premier casework manufacturers in the country.

I spent 3 days in sunny Laguna Beach, with great friends, Wynn, Moya, Mel, Kathi and da boyz, shooting the images. January in Laguna, lets see it was 70 degrees, gentle trade winds, lazy sunshine. Great art, fabulous friends, endless culinary opportunities. Torture.

Having grown up in So. Cal it is always nice to go home and hang at the beach. Fortunately I get down there several times a year. Always awesome.

We are currently discussing another campaign, focusing on their new home furnishing line. We can't wait.

J.R. Simplot Annual Report



I just completed final post production on the J. R. Simplot Company Annual Report. This was a killer assignment. I traveled to Morelia Mexico, Canada, Central Calif, Memphis, Washington, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Idaho. David Cuoio, of J.R. Simplot did a fantastic job art directing and providing the vision for the piece. A truly fabulous assignment.

The assignment included shooting images of manufacturing plants, mining operations, agricultural images, and aerial images. Just about every lighting conditions imaginable. This is when I appreciate all the years I spent shooting weddings. Nothing prepares you more for this kind of work.

Travelling across North America, with a great client (David) Deep Sea, Mr. Italy 1956 and Mr. Manly with too many incredible experiences to list. Lots of laughs and practical joking going on.

Shooting "Sin City"


In early March, I was sent to Las Vegas to photograph imagery for Supervalu. The shoot was a whirlwind but really exciting. I want to thank all the crew at Supervalu for their great creative energy and organization.

Only lost $8.63. Walked about 80 miles and took in more second hand smoke in a four day period than I did growing up. Great vibe there, serious money and partying going on. Got some really great images in Vegas. Every square inch of the Strip is an amazing photo opportunity.

My wife (Lisa) and I took in a couple of great shows. Cirque de Solie "Ka" was unbelievable. Never saw Wayne Newton or Woody Allen though, which was a huge disappointment.
