The screening of the movie “A Walk To Beautiful” and our own “Footsteps To Healing” newly released video drew a large crowd at the Hollywood Theater last week. We are humbled by the response many people have to the maternal conditions that occur in Ethiopia and other parts of the world.
The video I shot for our film was the first time I used the Canon 5DM2’s video capability, and I was amazed at the quality results.

I love using the Canon G11 to film things that I see along life’s interesting road. Here is the lovely Poison Waters in Phantom of the Opera, filmed at Darcelle’s in Portland, Oregon.
Video is here. (Quality is not as good as the video I shot of Jack White in Dead Weather…not sure what happened on the upload to YouTube.)

One of my favorite assignments is to get a call from a magazine, hear a great story about a person, and then get the go-ahead to meet them and photograph them. I never know what I will find when I arrive at the scene….but most likely it is a fascinating person with an incredible background. I usually only have a few minutes to assess lighting and backgrounds, and I love that challenge of finding the sweet spot of light and learning as much as I can about this person in a short period of time.
Here is a link to a recent multi-portrait assignment from the newly launched 1859 Magazine.
Check out the video on this site as well, for a behind the scenes peek at one of the larger shoots from this assignment. (Thank you for that, Sandymontana Creative!)

Yesterday’s Hero Wall Celebration was a heart-thumping event. It was so great to see all of the families together, and to hear great music, watch the kids get their faces painted and rejoice in some health improvements. It is a true honor to be work with these families. Huge THANK YOU to Pro Photo Supply and George McGinnis for donating the file prep and printing of the wall, and to DigiCraft for mounting the prints.

Letting the doves fly, along with wishes, in the middle of the closed downtown street in front of the World Trade Center:
A father’s emotion:
And there is a serious side to the day as well. This is not a typical “happy” photo from the festivities, but I am sure this little girl has many questions in her mind.

Not with guns and rifles.
But with all of the care and sensitivity you have in every part of your bones.
It took various visits, and a slow introduction to lights and different people to get a series of shots for the newly launched magazine, 1859.
Video of part of the shoot is here.

Shot with a Canon G10, in very low light. Hey! I did not know I liked taking video so much.
