    1st place award for Cam the Arabian in side pass and one my favorite equine photographs.

    White / gray Arabian horse dancing, a fine art equine photograph of a striking horse named Cam in side pass.

  • farewell to my best friend and inspirational muse

    farewell to my best friend and inspirational muse

    Last month I made the difficult decision to put my loving dog and inspiring muse down for the big sleep. Earlier this year, Leica, the dachshund /min pin mix had surgery for two herniated discs – that’s when the cushions between the vertebrae turn sandy and mineralize. The surgery was a a financial and emotional behemoth with a 3-4 month…

    Equestrio feature on the Arabian Saluki ‘sons of the desert’

    Equestrio, a beautifully printed publication based out of Dubai, asked me to do Arabian Saluki dog portraits in America. Not an easy task since very few are in the bay area at all.

    Meet Duke, the stellar and beautiful Afghan Hound

    I always enjoy testing with new subjects that catch my eye and when I saw Duke, the afghan hound, in my neighborhood, it was a classic scenario of  ‘excuse me sir, but I must photograph your dog. I think I even used a British accent due to a wave of properness that came over me..

  • Not just for hay.

    Not just for hay.

    I was recently asked to photograph a horse inside a showroom, the client, Coup d’tat, is an interior design showroom that features an visual ethic that I like to  call ‘steampunk meets industrial design chic’. However, while the white bookshelf in the image is more Kubrik than Steampunk, I feel the the over look of…

    from the studio – toaster the labradoodle

    I recently asked Kevin Rose if I could photograph his labradoodle, Toaster, here in the studio. Toaster is a bit of celebrity since he was just voted cutest dog in 7×7, he made a great model and I’m pleased with the evolution of this look for me. Update: Visit my new artwork purchase prints site,…

    From the studio: Bidaewee pet hospital shoot

    The Bideawee pet services shoot was great fun. With 25 models in 2 days between people, dogs and cats, the studio was a zoo! Not to mention simultaneous video during the stills – wow, did we just do that?  Special thanks goes to Carmel Cottingham for pulling off the production without a hitch! I’ll be sure…
