Meet Zoey. I admit. For the first time in my life I’m really entranced by a dog. Zoey is our second french bulldog my wife, Patti wanted to replace Dixie. Dixie, our fawn boxer, lost her battle to cancer last year. Louie, our first frenchy, was supposed to be a replacement for Dixie but he had a birth defect and we had him less than three months. Now Zoey…… she’s a character, we love her and she’s already a part of our family. Enjoy her portraits as we go along.

I C U……..
What a stupid title…… This is my first post in this blog. I have another cool blog (at least I think it is) that is a little more serious look at how photography interacts with my life. I have used my Iphone regularly since they first came out.
I love to shoot, to capture life around me. Everywhere I turn I see photos ready to be shot or created (a big difference). I want to use this to showcase some of my more interesting images shot in different situations. Some I’ll explain and some will have to speak for themselves. Hope you enjoy.

Do you Shoot Food?
I market myself primarily as an architectural photographer. It’s hard. Experts say to have people take you serious and pay decent money you have to be a specialist. So do you? I was trained and worked my early career as a photojournalist. A good photojournalist is good at shooting a lot of subjects and an expert generally at none. So what do you do? I don’t want to be tied into just one thing so I do niche marketing. Most of my work is photographing properties, new construction and aerials of those projects. To those clients I market myself for my architectural work. To a few others I’m known for my environmental portraiture. I market them differently. You get the picture. In this economy you need to diversify within your business and marketing. But to each your a specialist they need. btw, yes I do shoot food……
The image: Taken with a Nikon D3 and a 80-200. Processed in Adobe Lightroom.
The Food: Bully’s East, Mission Valley, San Diego, Ca. Great place. Yes, we enjoyed some of it when we were done . The benefit of being a food photographer.
