Happy New Year and Facebook Page

Well, 2010 has come and gone. I have had some good times, some rough times, and times that were just plain fun. I have met some interesting people, worked with beautiful models, and slowly started building up my gear.

I want to thank my wife Ann and my kids Charis and Kenji for being so understanding, and giving me time to develop my craft.

This next year begins two new projects, The Muse Project and The Beauty Plus Project.

I'll wait and make the announcements of who the models are once we have our first shoot in January.

Last, but not least, I have create a DVJ Photo fan page on Facebook. This means I need to be a bit more consistent on posting!

Everyone have a great New Year, and I will see you all again very soon.

Style To Kill

Well, after several false steps, set backs, and just plain irritation at many different things (including a hit and run driver), I was able to finish my Style to Kill shoot.
But the shoot was not without issues.
As I was cleaning my lens, some condensation got on the inside of the lens. So, the effect for many photos was, frankly, crap.
But somehow, I was able to rescue a healthy batch of photos.
Either I was very lucky, damn fine editor, or an amazing photographer. I like to think it was all three.

Tha Diva Shoot

Sorry it has been such a long while, but as you can see I have been very busy. This is the first set of three projects I worked on over the last month. My first time shooting with Tha Diva, a local model, who I have been trying to work with for about 5 months.
