I am grateful that some talented and interesting people who mostly did not know each other prior to this day made an positive, indelible [...]

Best of friends, best of times in the Valley of Fire – part 1

There is nothing like having your creative passions fueled by other similarly-minded people. And I mean friends who are simply awesome. In this case, I was planning a desert night shoot with my buddy Zoo (yes, Zoo) then Gabe told me that he and Nancy were planning a night shoot at the Valley of Fire [...]
