CEO portrait

One of the most difficult assignments is the CEO portrait. Many CEOs are shy, not exactly handsome and usually very stiff in front of a camera. Here is one from a recent shoot. I guess I got lucky.

Children with Cancer










Once or twice
a year I do a shoot for a amazing organization called: Flashes of Hope. What we do is go into the cancer wards of Children’s Hospital and create portraits of the kids and their families. As a poet or a writer my ability to express the multitude of emotions that flow through me when doing this work is surly lacking. All I can say is that all the families and all the medical personal who fight on the front lines of Childhood cancer are true humanitarians and true heros.

Sincerely,

For a nation
of immigrants we seem to get a bit crazy whenever new people come to our shores to seek a better life. Last week I had the privilege of flying to Atlanta to photograph the hard working people of AMS. These workers were busy restoring foreclosed homes in order to get them ready for re-sale. While in my mind, each foreclosed home represents a personal tragedy for the families who used to live him them, there is no question in my mind that the workers who where cleaning them up were working very hard and represented the ideal, the best of what all immigrates have always brought to America.
