About Me


I'm from Los Angeles. I live and shoot in Florida and the Caribbean five months out of the year. Won Photographer of the Year in Las Vegas 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005. I am an Aquarius. 40 years old. 5'10" Blonde Hair/Blue Eyes. Mellow, easy going. Don't sweat the little stuff. Live in the future. The past is dead, the present is too near the past so, the future seems to be the only thing with a pulse. Don't fear anything but the mundane. Don't like anything old, unless it's European. Dig Asian culture, especially Japanese lifestyles. Going to Macau' at the end of the year for a month. Then chill in Hong Kong and pack for Australia. I hate cold winter apparel & wearing too many clothes. Sometimes sleep for days, because I work for months, with very little REM. A hardened photojournalist for over 25 years. I hate packing for a trip, that's why I never unpack. Love Paris in the Spring/Summer, Italian women, phat' cars & beach bars in Portofino. I am a gentleman and operate from a very tight-knit circle of international friends and enemies. I have nothing to hide and everything to gain. Very down to earth and don't dig confrontations or drama. Like to live fast, drive fast and think fast.I like to surf, swim and spin around the world. Single. Live in Jamaica when I can. Working on new novel and screenplay. Just back from Las Vegas, San Francisco & San Diego. Then back to South Beach Miami for modeling gigs at summers end. Bicoastal 6/6 L.A.-Miami Beach. Workaholic. Work hard and party hard! I get bored easily. Usually can't stay in one place for more than a week, unless it's L.A., Miami Beach, Paris or Negril. I work at a heart-attack pace, don't give a shit what other people think and would kindly give my heart to the world, but never to just one nation.

My Interests

Videography, Still photography. Surfing, swimming, traveling around the globe! Getting 420!! Writing, playing house with young fashion models and older professional women. Building a livable studio and try to stay home more. Trying to finish writing this book. Like to do new shoots in Paris. Last trip was mega-rad. Manana. Next Summer... I love animals: dogs, parrots. High-Def editing, drinking saki, Jamaica...Buenos Aries, Puerto Plata DR..Key West, Spain, Argentina. Location, location...location. How about a good publicist, business manger and art director that could actually match their pants to their shirts. Plopping a new studio in Florida, besides the one in L.A...Need to think outside the "Gun"

I'd like to meet:

Cool people in the Arts. Musicians, models, writers, bullfighters, actors and beautiful women to talk about life with...go to sushi and have fun! I'd like to have met some of the old French fashion designers. Chanel...Dior...etc. Chris Walken is on the list. Let's see..Salvador Dali, if we could wake him from the eternal dirt-nap. My great, great uncle was Spencer Tracy, but never got to meet him. Met Jim Morrison, but I was in 6th grade. H.S. Thompson, W.S. Burroughs maybe..David Lynch. Think Inland Empire was some of his best work. Grace Kelly would have been cool. Bridget Bardot & Sophia Loren in the Monaco years. The young Brit Ekland...post Peter Sellers. Cocktails with Errol Flynn would have been interesting. Today???...Isabella Rosilini, Selma...Thinking with my camera again.

Music:

Hot, edgy new bands. Alternative, Rock, Good R&B, Reggae. Not much for classic old, rock. Anything new with an epic beat. Can't dig on country music, but feel their pain.

Movies:

Comedy, Adventure, Action. Total movie buff. Around stars a lot and try to stay up with their current projects. Fall asleep in movie theaters lately. Pre-wining & dining gets me too comfortable. Rather watch a flick at the casa, and cookout/wine and sit in front of a bonfire watching a movie/certain someone. Hey, who ate all the popcorn?

Television:

Comedy, Action & Adventure. CNN, Comedy Central, A&E...lots of stuff. Adult Swim, Mencea...Scrubs reruns. Classic Perry Mason, Spanish soap operas that you have to be totally baked, to understand. Where's the clicker...

People who aren't afraid to be themselves. Honest people, good friends, strong women, Firemen, doctors, bartendars, strippers, single moms, dogs, the pizza guy...children...herbal clinics, good car mechanics, wives and/or girl friends.
