Fort Lauderdale beach at dusk

Fort Lauderdale beach at dusk
It's 8pm. All of the tourists and sunbathers are gone. Nikon D200, ISO 100, F4.5 @ 1/60. No color adjustments. That's how it looked. The only thing I did in Photoshop was stitch two images together to make a large panoramic image.

Wedding

Wedding Dance
My friend Sedna is learning photography and she had to shoot a wedding. I went with her for support and took a few pictures with my own camera. I didn't bring a flash so this shot was done using available light. Nikon D200, ISO 400, F4 @ 1/6 handheld!

Exceed Wetsuits Shoot

Exceed Wetsuits
This is an image from the shoot I did for Exceed Wetsuits. My friend Sedna was my assistant and the model pictured is Megan. I've done several really exotic shoots for Exceed's magazine ads. One year we flew to a desert and rented camels. Another time, we were in the Everglades and I was in the water with alligators. I also shoot their catalogs. You can see all of these pictures and some really cool wetsuits on their web site, www.Exceedwetsuits.com.

Riverfront bars at night

Tarpon Bend, Fort Lauderdale
I was walking around downtown Fort Lauderdale at night with my camera and tripod and I took this shot of Tarpon Bend and the other downtown bars around Riverfront. I set up my tripod in the middle of the street and waited for some cars. The exposure was ISO 100, F16 @ 15 seconds.

Dana

Dana
I went to my friend Courtney's house one night and did a photo shoot with our friend Dana. She needed a professional headshot and obviously this is NOT one of them! This is one of our "warm up" photos. Dana is so funny. She had Courtney and I laughing hysterically with all of her different expressions.

Broward School Board Building

Broward County School Board Building
I was wandering around downtown Fort Lauderdale and the Broward County School Board building looked really nice with the reflection of the sky and clouds in it. In October 2005, Hurricane Wilma came through and blasted most of the windows out. I took pictures and you can see them here.

Old Yacht, Las Olas

Yacht in Las Olas Isles
I was shooting several high end properties in Las Olas Isles for a Realtor and I saw this old yacht. I'm not sure how old it actually is but it looks like an older yacht that has been meticulously maintained or perhaps, restored. I'm not the kind of person who would own a yacht in the first place but if I did, I'd want something like this. It almost looked steam powered yet it has some modern features, like radar.
