Goodbye 2011

2011-12-31T11:25:00.000-08:00

He's just eight years old, but the economic woes of 2011 were rough on him too. He has been living in a rescue mission on skid row in Los Angeles with his father and two siblings, they are hoping to move into their own place some time in January. His dad is doing what he can, applying daily for jobs and staying hopeful. This little guy is also doing his best, getting good grades in school, and talking about attending USC or Stanford in the future, and I'm rooting for him to make his dreams come true. At age 8, the interview bored him, he was tired and just curled up into the chair after a few minutes. I think I can say almost all of us are hoping for a better future, best of luck in 2012 to everybody!

Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban - Portrait Session

2011-12-18T13:55:00.000-08:00

Last week, I had a portrait session assignment with billionaire Mark Cuban to illustrate a story in the Financial Times by Matt Garrahan. Mark is a very cool guy, and when I brought up the subject Lamar Odom being traded to his Dallas Mavericks he lit right up.Apparently he rarely sits for a portrait because he is constantly on the go, so it was a nice opportunity for me. The shoot took place in a hotel room in Manhattan Beach, I was hesitant when I first saw the orange carpeting and furniture, but as always you make do with what you get and his publicist emailed me to say they really liked the shot. http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/d7e0f5c4-2719-11e1-b9ec-00144feabdc0.html?ftcamp=rss#axzz1gvIEwl9O
