We found this great record store just off the strip on Sahara Ave.

I was on the search for some Zepplin, maybe some Rage Against the Machine. My girlfriend Sabrina was on a hunt for anything MJ. The first thing we see when we walk into this place, is a display case full of MJ stuff. The most unique item was this photo I bought for her for $18.

Turns out this photo was from Michael Jackson’s music video for “Say Say Say” with Paul McCartney in 1983!
The photo shows the final scene in the music video where Michael, Paul, and Lisa McCartney are running to jump in the back of a truck. The music video was filmed in Santa Ynez Valley, California which is about 6-8 hours away from Las Vegas. The guy at the record store said someone brought the photo to their store with hopes they could find a good home for it. We don’t really know how long the photo sat in their store, but the photo definitely found the best home possible with Sabrina and I. She loves MJ, I love unique original music photography. Win Win!

Here is a shot of my friend Dan Harden from Malibu Knights. The photo was taken during their band’s photo shoot a few months back. We were shooting on a sound stage, and stepped outside to grab some fresh air, and saw this intense pink sky.

Here are a few shots published in January’s edition of Lethbridge Living magazine. This was one of the funnest shoots I did last year! The photo shoot was set up in a basement woodworking shop, which required renting the space, clearing all the flammable things, getting insurance, and a fire permit before being able to use fire. We had fire extinguishers, wet blankets, fuel, fog machines, spinning gear, a few assistants on hand for safety…. AND STILL… we had the fire department show up sirens blazing on their trucks!! We had gone through the proper precautions, but as it turns out, the shop ventilation shafts didn’t like our fog machine particles, and set off the fire alarm. Guess we know for next time!

Jason asked me last month to shoot a quick portrait of him for an article being published in Beatroute magazine. There was one catch, he had to be wearing his favorite hat! He said something along the lines of: “If people are having a bad day, I put this hat on, and it always makes them smile” Made me smile for sure! We did a few shots by the bar, and then a shot on the stage that was being prepped for that night. He loved all the goofy posed shots, but I liked this moment where I caught him with just a straight face, it was the only odd one out in the shoot.
