The new OC Register Magazine Volume 1, Issue 1, was delivered to our door on April 15, 2013. This first edition featured Orange County Icon, Henry Segerstrom who turned 90 April 5th.  Happy Birthday, Henry!  And….Many Happy Returns!

Over the last 12+ years, I have had the honor and pleasure of photographing Henry many times.  Imagine my delight to open the pages of this first edition and see two of my photographs in a full page birthday tribute by the Segerstrom Center for the Arts.  Thank you, Henry, for the visionary leader you are and continue to be for Orange County!  A toast to you! www.ocregister.comOCR Magazine (Vol.1, Issue 1) April 15, 2013

It was my pleasure to photograph and meet Barbara Cook at the Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, Costa Mesa California on April 13, 2013 during her 85^th birthday performance.  Six decades into her career, she can still deliver. Happy Birthday, Barbara!

After completing an application process that includes recommendations from two current members and a portfolio review, I wanted to announce that I am now a proud member of the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP). 

Since my work in commercial and editorial photography has increased over the last several years, it seemed important to me and relevant to my clients that I have a relationship with this preeminent professional association. 

ASMP is a tremendous resource for educating and informing photographers and our clients and helping us continue to hone our craft.  Things are changing at a tremendous pace and having access to the latest and greatest information helps me stay relevant.  In turn, I am better able to serve my clients.  As with any organization, by giving you get.  So…I will look for opportunities to continue to enhance my skills as well as network with others in the commercial/editorial genre.  Check them out at:  www.asmp.com
