I got a brief mention in the Create: Behind the Lens section of the Feb 2009 issue of PDN Magazine for UNICEF's "Believe in Zero" campaign. (Note: The inset photo is not mine, however.)

The UNICEF "Believe in Zero" ad with my commissioned portrait of NBA star Amare Stoudemire has rolled out. Amare was the only portrait subject I've ever shot that required me to stand on not one but TWO full apple boxes. Dude's tall.

The UNICEF Believe in Zero advertising campaign launched this month featuring my commissioned portraits of Lucy Liu and Laurence Fishburne shot earlier this summer. The campaign will continue to roll out though the end of the year and on into 2009. I also photographed Nicole Ritchie, Joel Madden, Amare Stoudemire and Alyssa Milano. Look for those soon.

UNICEF - Laurence Fishburne

I met Morpheus today.

I know it's just a role, but I couldn't help seeing the long leather coat and the dark pince-nez spectacles as I shook his hand and introduced myself. That's the thing about being in Hollywood—everyone is always more than just themselves.

Today's shoot was for another installment in the UNICEF "Believe in Zero" ad campaign.

Just got back from a three day trip to Seattle to shoot another installation in PEMCO Insurance's "Northwest Profiles" advertising campaign. We shot a total of three ads in one day. Locations included Green Lake Park and the moss-filled alley beside my assistant's apartment.

There was no shortage of irony having to pause our shoot of the "Green Lake Power Walkers" every so often to let ACTUAL Green Lake Power Walkers pass through.

These ads will run as transit boards later this summer.
