It's Over, folks...

Assistants

Times Change...and Priorities Change, too.

If you would like to be my Assistant for my Industrial Ergonomics Business, I would like to hear from you:  714.342.3020 

It involves travel to factories across the United States and Canada.

This video shows what you'll do...it opens in new window:

Basically, you'll be my extra set of hands while I teach factory personnel how to keep their workers healthy with my patented handgrip system.
.
It's light work, nothing heavy.

Occasionally, you'll operate some cool camera equipment to record our work...it's quite fun, actually.

...if you want pictures or video, we can shoot them, too.

But, for the most part, my photography days are behind me now.

I hope you understand, and thanks for the memories. <3

Right Place, Right Time...

​...here's how it started:

​

While working as an Engineer at IBM, The Miss Universe Pageant hired me to escort Miss Germany around South Florida right after I bought my first 35mm film camera in 1982.

​...this is one of my first-ever shots.

​Kirsten taught me how to shoot women.

...suddenly, I fell in love with photography.

Warrior Girl Licks Knife Story...(download file using link above)

Back before streaming was even available on ANY platform, I was asked to shoot a promo for a Live Action Dinner Group that performed various skits at selected dinner locations throughout SoCal.  I shot it on a 480p Canon XL2 MiniDV camera using a Letus35 adapter so I could shoot using my Nikkor glass.

The outfits the girls wore were designed on the spot using sheets of leather/hole punches/scissors.

We were a few margaritas into the shoot when this stunning Vietnamese lady agreed to simply shoot 3 takes of her licking a knife...a REAL knife, NOT a stage prop.  IOW, it was sharp.

When I saw her first attempt unfold in my video-goggles' viewfinder, I knew I had the shot in the can already.

However, to play it safe - in case a file got corrupted during conversion from tape to digital output - I let her perform all 3 takes.

Later, when I saw her 3 takes on my monitor, I struggled to find the best one...so, here they are LIVE with zero direction needed.

I used a ProMist2 filter on the lens to get the desired dreamy effect.  Today, Tiffen's Black ProMist series filters are used instead because of their retained contrast while adding the halo effect.
